Red Dragon

[JenRN]

Just wondering how many people have seen this and if they like it? I just watched it, thought it was good! It was a lot better than Hannibal. I loved Silence of the Lambs and this was just as good!

[hayley]

Silence of the Lambs? :eye:

What's this about?

[luvscott4ever]

I AGREE!! I just watched it tonight too!! I thought it was GREAT!!
I also feel the same about the other two films. I didn't like Hannibal, but like Silence!!

[JenRN]

You have never seen the Silence of the Lambs movie about Hannibal Lecter:confused:
OMG!!!:eek:
It is a series of 3 movies about a serial murderer named Hannibal Lector, he is a cannibal. The movies have him in it and then they feature FBI investigations of new cases and he from jail "helps" assist FBI on new cases! It is really creepy stuff, I love horror suspense films and LOVE Silence of the Lambs! Anthony Hopkins plays Hannibal you must have seen it or seen it advertised!:confused:

[luvscott4ever]

I love Anthony Hopkins, he's a great actor!!!

that movei sucks

Silence of the Lambs freaked me out so much that I had no desire to see the others. The movie was well done and all; it just gave me nightmares.

[hayley]

yeah i've seen Hannibal advertised, i haven't seen it though, and don't know if i want too :rolleyes: i asked my mum and dad and they go "no way you will be so SICK!!" :lol:

I saw Silence of the Lambs ages ago, and it freaked me out. I thought it was well made though. I had NO interest in seeing Hannibal, from what I heard, it was repulsive. When I heard Red Dragon was starring Ed Norton, I psyched myself up to see it (it's my mission to see every one of his movies :D ). I thought it was pretty good, and not all that gory. Ed was very good. :D

*raising hand
I also was freaked out by Silence of the Lambs. Very very very intense movie. I haven't seen any of the sequels (or prequels) but the Silence was awesome.

I want to see Red Dragon!! I actually had it in my hands to rent this weekend and instead got Ghost Ship, which I though was good!! The Beginning is extremely gory!! I also watch Maid in Manhatten which I also liked even if J Lo was in it!! I like her better as an actor than I do a singer! Today I'm gonna watch White Oleander, I heard was intense but I like those kind of movies as well!! It's been a movie marathon weekend for us!! Hey I also love Scilence of the Lambs, great horror flick!!! I guess you have to be a true horror flick fan to appriciate the gore flicks! Hannibal was good to, not as good, but good.

Silence of the lambs has some really disgusting scenes...

People always said so much about it that when I watched it, I didn´t like it... I mean, it´s a good movie, but I think I had higher expectations...

But I didn´t watch the other 2 :(

I saw all 3 of these movies and have them on DVD. I LOVE scary movies. Red Dragon is actually a pre-quel to Silence of the Lambs and was a remake of Manhunter, where the Hannibal Lector character was first introduced. For those of you who liked Red Dragon, I recommend checking out Manhunter. I think it's a better version and a little more scarier. :eek: (Anthony Hopkins doesn't appear in this one, Hannibal is played by Brian Cox)

Yeah, I think when Red Dragon came out, there was some confusion as to where exactly it fit in with Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal. It is the prequel, dealing with Dr Lecter first getting caught.

As good as Manhunter might be, it doesn't have Edward Norton in it. :D :P

I wanted to get into FBI work and investigations in my lifetime, so this series of movies was right up my alley! I really liked Red Dragon thought it was just as good as Silence of the Lambs which I loved! It takes a lot to freak me out, and these movies do to a point, I love a good suspense flick!:D

First of all does anyone read on here?! I mean these movies are books by Thomis Harris. I read all 3 of them years ago... BEFORE the movies came out. The books are always better in my humble opinion because what you watch on a screen is someone else's imagination unfolding. When you read the book... it is YOUR imagination that is unfolding.

Also in Hannible the ending wasn't even the same ending as what Thomas Harris originally wrote years ago. Not even the alternate ending was correct. Don't believe me and don't want to read the book? Well just look on the special features of Red Dragon DVD. On it it has the full "FBI Casefile" on Hannible Lector. It has in it the REAL ending of what the Hannible movie should have been.

Also as you can tell I am a HUGE fan of this trilogy. I am a fan of Thomis Harris for sure. But I am like so wild over Anthony Hopkins. Even in his aging years he gets sexier and sexier. For me there is Scott Stapp sexy then there is Anthony Hopkins sexy... both are VERY good to me. :)

[GeeK_2004]

what is red dragon about ??

[farmgirl]

Hi Geek 2004,
It's about a killer with a cleft lip or some deformity that kills family's due to some stuff that happened to him while he was being raised. (They don't go into that much about his past in the movie, but they do in the book).
Anyway, the cops look to a locked-up serial killer, Hannibal Lector, to help them catch this other killer.
It's a pre-quel to Silence of the Lambs.
There's alot more to it, but that is the basic story line.
