Since I am new at this, I am not sure what you(KRUGERKID) are trying to point out to me about the contributions. Sorry if this makes me seem retarded in any way.

Welcome to the forum by the way.

I think he was recommending going to the contributer's corner to do a review of the movies. I think it was a freindly recommendation :)

And welcome btw.


Manhunter is almost sickening in comparison to Red Dragon. Manhunter just felt like a long, depressing 80's music video.

In Red Dragon, i love seeing how Will handles Lector, especially comparing how he deals with Hopkins version compared to Clarice. She was intimidated as hell by him. Will is very defensive and stand-offish, and not afraid to cut lector off in the middle of his demands, putting HIM on the defensive to get what he wants./ HE is never in control of the situation, but he at least balances the power at times.

I didn't think that he was trying to be rude or anything, I was just confused is all. Anyway, I totally agree with you about the differences between Will and Clarice. Have you ever wondered whether or not the fact that she is woman has a strong impact on it as well. Plus as far as we know, this is her first big case and so she was probably trying to deal with that. Because in HANNIBAL, Clarice is much stronger and isn't afraid to attack Hannibal when need be. Will we already now has had an encounter with Lector at the beginning of Red Dragon. So in truth I forgot where I was going with this, but it is just an interesting thought.

I know you werent, it just seemed that some people were confused, so i was just lending a helping hand :)

It IS interesting to see Clarice grow. However, from what i here, it's kind of lost in the book....

I really wish they had been able to get Jodie Foster back. Poor Julianne moore. Always getting stuck with being so-so. She was very good as starling, but she was playing second fiddle to an excellent actress, rather than merely a good one.

ManHunter was HORRID. I fell asleep, most likely as my body's way of protecting my brain from expiring.....Red Dragon was GREAT..stuck closely to the book...good deal.

And Hopkins OWNS the part of Hannibal, just as Norton owns his part.

Arrogance. Not a way to get on my good side. I think I know enough about horror movies to form my own opinion. but thanks.

I found Manhunter to be rather dull. It looked more like a TV movie. Red Dragon was a much better adaptation of what I thought was the best of Harris's Lechter novels. As far as the films go, though, Silence Of The Lambs is still the best.
