Title: Red Dragon (An old book with a new cover)
Review: For those of you who think that this movie is an improvement over Hannibal, I agree that is slightly better. You have been duped, however. You should be comparing this to the movie Manhunter (1986) with William Peterson. Red Dragon is an attempted remake of an excellent movie with very little extra to offer accept an average performance from Anthony Hopkins. I urge you to watch Manhunter first, as it was made long ago, and you will see Red Dragon for what it really is. Considering whether this is a different adapatation as written by others, I recall much of the same dialogue from Manhunter and scenes straight out of Silence of the Lambs. One can only deduce this was made as a money maker first, and entertainment second.
