Bah, how can you have Hannibal Lecter without Anthony Hopkins? 'Tis a travesty I say! At least they didn't call it Young Hannibal :)
Nothing is going to beat Silence of the Lambs, but Red Dragon is a very good film, I recently got the HD DVD and re-watched it. Hannibal is the worst of the three Hopkins pictures but it's treated too harshly by the critics, but I give it extra leeway for starring Ray Liotta :)
Critics will often go on about Manhunter (original version of Red Dragon from the 1986) being better than all three of the later films, but that's just critics trying to look clever in my book :) It is still a very good film though, worth a watch.
