Red Dragon VS Manhunter

[Elvis_Christ]

I like Manhunter a lot better than Red Dragon. Red Dragon like Hannibal was just an overblown piece of trash designed to make Hannibal Lector a franchise.

I saw Manhunter again last night and it's always been my favourite of the series. Ok, there are a couple of serious Miami Vice moments, including the music, but overall, Mann's vision of the novel is brilliant.

I was not overly impressed with Red Dragon. That being said, I don't remember being impressed by Manhunter either. But that was many years ago when I was just a young buck. So I'lll give it another spin this weekend.

I really liked Manhunter. I liked the actor that played the Tooth Fairy better than Ralph in RD.......way way more creepy!

Fienes is too pretty to be creepy.......a hairlip just doesn't cut it.


:rolleyes:

I really think though that Hopkins owns that role and has made it his own.

Excellent movie! I would highly recommend it too! :D

i would have to say man hunter but i like red dragon. hopkins is a very effective hanible and edward norton is awsome as well but manhunter was just great

I have to say "Red Dragon".....its a prequel .."Manhunter" is not...
I was i little disapointed after watching "Manhunter"....I think i saw it after "Red Dragon"....

A lot of horror fans are new .. and may not realize that before Silence of the lambs, Hannibal, and Red Dragon .. there was another movie called Manhunter by Michael Mann ... which was recently remade as Red Dragon - based on the Thomas Harris novel of the same name.

Even if you are aware (it was probably mentioned when Red Dragon was released) you may not have have seen it ...

If not I highly recommend it .

I'd be interested in hearing anyone's opinions one way ot the other if you've seen it.

i knew i saw another movie about hannibal lector but it was when i was really young and couldn't remember anything about it besides that i heard the name hannibal and i saw someone with that same mask on with the three bars over the mouth now that i know i didn't imagine the whole thing and i know the name of it i have to get it.

thanks urgeok.

The music in Manhunter is amazing too .. Mann really has a head for making the music as much a part of a film as any other aspect of it.

he really did that in collateral
