Subject: I don't want...

... to watch any more movies that have Anthony Hopkins playing Hannibal Lector.

I am anxious to see this one.  Red Dragon is a remake of the very first Hannibal movie, Manhunter, and I thought that movie was great back then.  (I also loved the soundtrack)  I can't wait to see it this weekend, the previews look awesome.  Having Anthony Hopkins be a part of this movie just seems so fitting....He IS Hannibal.

I didn't know the movie had already been made, under a different name...

I read the book, and thought it was better than 'Silence', so I am loking forward to it.

I thought Hannibal itself was a poor showing though....

I thought Manhunter and Slaughter were great.  Even thought Hopkins was great in Slaughter.  But it's become a cheap trick act on his part... last years Hannibal, IMHO, was a sad joke.  Red Dragon, a remake of Manhunter, is getting panned.  I think it a mis-use of an interesting character.

I agree with you Steve, Hannibal was terrible.  It looked like the writers were only interested in the gross factor....like so many horror movies these days.   :(

I couldn't care less about "Hannibal" or "Red Dragon". Hopkins may have been a better Dr. Lector than Brian Cox, but Rape (I mean Ralph) Fiennes is no Dollarhyde.
Sorry if the term offends,but that's close to how he pronounces his name. :(

I ain't seen it yet, and I ain't gonna, but Roger Ebert gave Red Dragon 3-1/2 points  ::)

Ebert will praise about anything nowadays. That's why I don't listen to critics anymore.

...And yet, even he wouldn't give more than two stars to Gladiator.  I am absolutely stunned that that won best picture.

Didn't someone somewhere call Gladiator Spartacus-Lite?  If they didn't, they should have.   I liked it until... there was a scene where what's-his-name is in the arena and, pulling out a pair of swords like they're numchuks, decapitates two opponents at the same time... that was soooo Mortal Combat...

I've never seen Silence or Hannibal so I doubt I'll be hurrying to see this one! I have seen Manhunter on T.V I think.......

Manhunter was pretty buff.  Whoever it was playing Lector was a little less... stylized than Hopkins, but no less creepy.
