Audience Member Terrifically dumbed-down treatment of an amazing, intelligent book. Very disappointing. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/01/25 Full Review Gina R There's still enough life in the Lecter mythology to create a must-see audience for what is, basically, a dja-vu experience. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/19/25 Full Review James B It's basically the same as the silence of the lambs but a prequel but slightly worse but I might be saying the same to silence if this was released first. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/17/25 Full Review Cleve H Technically a remake of Manhunter this movie has a lot of strengths that Manhunter misses. Ralph Fiennes does better than Tom Noonan in the Dolarhyde role in the mental anguish and struggling part of the role that almost makes you feel sorry for the character. Noonan makes the most of the physicality and violence of the character. Similarly, Edward Norton plays the role of Will Graham in a more procedural manner where as William Peterson plays to the trauma of the character. The ending of this movie is much better than Manhunter, however I believe if you took the strengths of Manhunter and combined them with the strengths of Red Dragon no one would be able to touch the movie. Overall, worth a watch! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/29/25 Full Review João Victor M Brett Ratner's direction does not disappoint. Red Dragon tells part of Hannibal Lecter's (Anthony Hopkins) story before the events of The Silence of the Lambs. Here, we see a similar case in which Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) assists Will Graham (Edward Norton) in capturing a killer, Francis Dolarhyde (Ralph Fiennes), better known as the "Tooth Fairy." I really enjoyed the film and how the conversations between Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) and Will Graham (Edward Norton) developed. I found it particularly interesting that Will Graham (Edward Norton) was the one who put Hannibal (Anthony Hopkins) behind bars, adding extra weight to their dynamic. From the middle to the end, the film becomes even more intense, giving great prominence to Ralph Fiennes' performance as Francis Dolarhyde. I expected an ending similar to Criminal Minds or CSI, but I was completely surprised. The way the investigation uncovers how the killer had access to details about the victims' homes reminded me of CSI, but here, it was executed in a much more sophisticated way, avoiding predictability. Another highlight was Mary-Louise Parker's performance as Molly Graham, the wife of Will Graham (Edward Norton). In her final act to save her family, she delivers an intense and convincing performance. Speaking of outstanding female performances, Emily Watson as Reba McClane deserves a lot of praise. Even without direct eye contact, her portrayal perfectly conveys the emotions of the character, making her one of the most memorable figures in the story "Our scars remind us that the past was real." – Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, o filme tem uma história ruim, os personagens são fracos, hannibal lecter nesse filme é fraco e não traz nenhuma relevância para o filme, o elenco é fraco, só que não ajudam em porra nenhuma, e as cenas são fracas e nenhuma relevante, com tudo isso, eu não recomendo esse filme.
