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

This was actually quite good. Ralph Fiennes is a creepy psycho. I didn't know he had it in him.

I thought it was good. I'm a big Edward Norton fan, and Hopkins does alright as Lecktor.

If you'd like to see an 80's Michael Mann version check out Manhunter. It's adapted from the same book (Red Dragon). Brian Cox does a better job as Dr. Lecktor IMHO.

Manhunter is a tad better and more faithful to the book. This wasn't bad and ties Hopkins into the trilogy of Lecter novels/movies.
