Not as good as Silence of the Lambs, but better than Hannibal… I think that sums it up pretty well. A really engaging story, good acting, and decent directing – I can’t think of a whole lot more that most people would ask for in a movie. Yeah, it’s a remake that really doesn’t deviate from the original, but the original had some fairly mediocre acting, and a horribly cheesy ‘80s soundtrack.
Anthony Hopkins is good, as usual, and the character of Hannibal is certainly more interesting when he’s locked up, rather than running loose like a slasher-movie monster.
Ed Norton was especially good. While he himself is still fairly young, he convincingly played his character as quite a bit older and wearier than he would normally seem. This is the most mature role that he's done.
yep, good flick, lived up the best quote i've heard in a while "if you hated hannibal, you'll love red dragon" ;)
again, ed norton=cool, so that's a given...most mature role he's done? hmmm...you've seen american history x, right? have you still yet to see primal fear? (not saying he's more mature in these, more curious)
Yes, I've seen both American History X and Primal Fear. They're both really good movies.
In both of them, though, he still comes across as very 'young'. Even in AHX, where he's learned over a long period of time that what he used to do was completely wrong - and how he then tries to teach that to his brother - he comes across more as the "big brother" (not in the Orwellian sense) than, say, as a father or something.
In Red Dragon, he definitely seems credible as a father, with a lot of "weight on his shoulders".
I think Modern Warfare 2 dmtsnoerates that Modern Warfare was a fluke; Infinity Ward talk about (in gamasutra postmortems and what-not) prototyping a much larger amount of set piece action bits during development, then cutting ones that don’t work and hanging the story around whatever is left.That worked really well in the first game; but it results in a garbled, nonsensical overarching narrative in the second. The airport scene feels like a victim of that (although it was clearly in there from very early on; it was the setting for the first teaser trailer).Which is not to say that they could have wrangled a decent story from the stuff they had, anyway; I mean, I really wanted to see Captain Price back and that. But then they went and totally undermined his character with the gravelly soliloquies.Still! Shooty shooty bang bang. A good story is still unfortunately just a bonus.
