Just watched Red Dragon for the first time and I thought it was pretty good. Going to watch the other two in the next few days.

Did you guys like them? And how were they viewed when they came out?

I thought Hannibal was pretty funny actually: LINK

Seriously, absolutely hilarious.

Red Dragon
Really good. Edward Norton is great and Fiennes really delivers.

Silence of the Lambs
Honestly, I don't like Jodie Foster and she kind brings the movie down for me. Over all, a very good movie though.

Hannibal
The weakest of the three.

honestly... I liked Manhunter the best out of all the Lector films. I was never as high on the Hopkins flicks as everyone else is.

I'd probably rank them in order of release

Manhunter
Silence
Hannibal
Red Dragon
Hannibal Rising


I will say that Hannibal is probably the directorial pinnacle of the Brett Ratner's career and its been all downhill since.

Hannibal gets a lot of hate but I thought it was serviceable, just fine imo.


Just started watching Red Dragon for the first time and the opening sequences before the title credits (sweetbreads) is outstanding.

Manhunter. Superior cast, superior direction.

Sorry, got Hannibal and Red Dragon mixed up.

Youtubed "Red Dragon" and "Brain" and that came up, so I just thought I was right.

Red Dragon - alright movie, even though Norton was (surprisingly) bad in it. He was barely awake.

Silence of the Lambs- great

Hannibal- self indulgent crap

Manhunter and Silence are the only ones worth watching. Red Dragon and Hannibal are trash.

Red Dragon is an awesome movie.

Silence is a solid movie as well although I don't care for what's her face.

As for the last one, I would smash Julianna Moore with reckless abandon.

Manhunter and Silence are the only two worth a watch.

Red Dragon was good, can't go wrong w/ Edward Norton and Harvey Keitel

Silence was great

Hannibal wasn't good IMO b/c whether or not you liked Jodie Foster in Silence, you just can't replace her.
