Red Dragon Ratings & Reviews
- mopr28 August 2025Lov3d it suspenseful
- Oʂɯαʅԃσ Rσყҽƚƚ15 March 2026After "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Hannibal", it was logical to do a remake of "Manhunter" to complete the trilogy with Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal in all parts. Too much time has passed since I watched the original movie for me to be able to remember all the details, but it seems to me that "Red Dragon" is an almost exact copy of "Manhunter".
- tellum18 August 2025Ralph Fiennes makes the movie, one of my favorite movie villains because of how terrifying he is. Voldemort has nothing on this killer.
- Scott and Sharon2 February 2026A decent film. It still pales in comparison to Mann’s Manhunter. But then again Brian Cox was the first Hannibal introduced on film. Hollywood had to reimagine and solidify Hopkins as the one true Lektor. So many scripted similarities in the film. And Norton, for as good an actor as he is he cannot touch Peterson’s Graham. It’s good, just Not as great as Manhunter.
- AngusMcNutz23 October 2025Ask me a decade ago and I would give this an unequivocal 5-stars. Now, upon re-reading the books and running through the films again, I find this one honestly pretty shallow and weirdly monotonous, especially when you look at how meticulously stylized 𝘔𝘢𝘯𝘩𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳 is in comparison. Incredibly formulaic and full of missed opportunities, this one is carried entirely by its cast which, unsurprisingly, brings their all despite what they've been given to work with. Not one to entirely run away from but I would temper your expectations a bit going in.
- Max7 November 2025An unexpectedly great prequel — not because it connects to the previous films, but because it stands strong as a movie on its own. Anthony Hopkins is, as always, mesmerizing, though this time he feels more like a side character. The real star here is Ralph Fiennes, known to most as Lord Voldemort — though yes, this time he actually has a nose (just kidding). His performance is absolutely chilling, making Voldemort seem almost friendly and approachable in comparison to this Role. It’s top-tier acting that easily stands alongside Hopkins. Edward Norton also delivers a solid performance, even if not quite as powerful as the other two. All in all, a fantastic film with a few brilliant Plot Twists that keep you hooked right until the end.
