...Red Dragon

and it was WICKED!!

I got it for ?9.99 (2 DVD boxset) the other day and just watched and it was just as good as Silence of the Lambs. Hannibal was a bit poor (not bad just not as good as Silence of the Lambs) but Norton and Hopkins worked SO well together on screen. Fiennes is also very good. Infact there was not one weak actor in the whole film!

I have not seen the original Red Dragon however I am thinking about finding a copy now just to check it out. I always prefer the first version of a film (or song) that I see/hear because to me that is the original (it is VERY rare that I find the original original better if I have not seen it first).

If you have not seen it I suggest you do! The good thing is you dont need to see Silence of the Lambs or Hannibal to understand it as it is based before them, infact the end is the start of Silence of the Lambs:))

8.5/10 (I never give 10/10 as no film is perfect). I only thing I thought could be a little better was the sound track, need to be a bit loud (background music wise) so that it adds a little more tension like in Silence of the Lambs, other than that it is pretty much perfect. Excellent direction and editing:))

Save yourself the trouble of finding the original... it stank. The remake is much, much, much better. The original is called Man Hunter. It stank.

Did I mention that the original stank?

I'm not easily insulted. ;)

I guess I was in a bad mood when I wrote that. Check it out if you'd like, but don't have great expectations... then again, what does my opinion really matter? :D
