Movie Reviews of Red Dragon - Collector's EditionMovie Review: Excellent Summary: 5 Stars
I went to see this movie, and I will tell you it was excellent, and for those of you who would deam me unfit to give this movie a good review, I can tell I have viewed the original. This movie far surpasses the original, in acting, the way the plot is played out, and scenery. The previews of Anthony Hopkins reprising his Oscer winnig role as Dr. Lecter were excellent. He owns the role of Dr. Lecter doing much better that Brian Cox did in Man Hunter. Ed Nortan was a little off the bare when I thought of this guy cathing Dr. Lecter. I was thinking suuuure, I mean Dr. Lecter would kick this guys ass in a second, but it worked out beautifully and payed omage to the story. The interactions between the two were reminicent of Dr. Lecter and Clarice Starling, even though in this movie Dr. Lecter and Wille Gram show that they hate each other, the docter still plays his mind games, and toyes with Gram even more ruthlessly then when it came to Clarice Starling. I also enjoyed the way that you get the feeling of how dangerous Dr. Lecter really is as in the scenes with him in his cell, it took about two ordarlies, and four armed policemen to just move him around. And even just exercising he was under swat team servalence being targeted by guns everywere in his exercise area, witch went to show how much of an animal people thought of him since exercise pens like that are usually used for hourses. Well anyway I thought this movie was excellent, in every way, and did far better than the original versions in every aspect. Thank you very much.
Summary of Red Dragon - Collector's EditionRED DRAGON - DVD Movie A lot could've gone wrong in Red Dragon, but the movie exceeds expectations. Replacing the acclaimed Manhunter as an "official" entry in the Hannibal Lecter trilogy, this topnotch thriller--the second adaptation of Thomas Harris's first Lecter novel--returns to the fertile soil of The Silence of the Lambs, serving as both prequel and heir to the legacy of Lecter as portrayed, with mischievous menace, by the great Anthony Hopkins. Familiar faces and locations reappear (along with Lambs screenwriter Ted Tally) as Lecter coaches FBI profiler Will Graham (Edward Norton) in tracking the horrific "Tooth Fairy" killer (Ralph Fiennes), whose transformative killing spree is inspired by a William Blake painting. By dutifully serving Harris's potent material, Tally and director Brett Ratner craft a suspenseful film worthy of its predecessors, bringing Hopkins full circle as one of the cinema's all-time greatest villains. With overtones of Psycho and a superb supporting cast, Red Dragon succeeds against considerable odds. --Jeff Shannon
