Is Red Dragon or Silence of the Lambs better?
Silence of the Lambs does a few things better and is more refined, but Red Dragon is more raw, and all the more interesting for it. They’re both roughly on par in terms of pure enjoyment, I liked Red Dragon maybe slightly more but then again there’s a reason Silence of the Lambs is more famous, it’s more mainstream.

Red Dragon

What do Manhunter and Red Dragon have in common?
Mark: Yeah, the way I look at Manhunter and Red Dragon is that Manhunter is Will Graham’s movie and Red Dragon is Dolarhyde’s movie. Graham’s characterization in both films is that he’s an FBI profiler who gets lost in the minds of the criminals he investigates.
Is Hannibal Red Dragon better than Brian Cox’s version of Hannibal?
Still, even a bad outing as Hannibal for Hopkins (which Red Dragon isn’t by the by) is still better than Brian Cox’s version of the character. It is worth watching Cox to see a slightly different translation of the character, though. Mark: This is a “no contest,” surely, but for the sake of argument I’ll play a little Devil’s Advocate.
Is red dragon better than Will Graham?
Red Dragon, though, shows us Dolarhyde right from the start and he gets as much screen time if not more than Will Graham. His history and motivations are fleshed out and he’s much more sympathetic, but also less frightening because of it.
What makes Manhunter a good film?
Manhunter keeps Dolarhyde out of the film until about the halfway point. This works really well in regards to the detective aspect of the film; the audience is as in the dark as the characters and we learn only as much as they do as the film progresses. It also makes him scarier for being this unknown creature.
