Hannibal movies question?

[Hansika]

i have just bought silence of the lambs, hannibal and hannibal: the rising and i was just going to start watching them when i noticed theres a 4th called red dragon can i watch the other 3 without seeing red dragon or will it make no sence? thankyou (sorry about spelling)

Well, if you want to see the entire history in cronological order, red dragon is a must-see. Anyway, I think is beter than Hannibal and Hannibal the origin, I recomended you get Red dragon, start with the origin, don't loose you hopes, 'cos the best is comming, RD and SOTL, and finish with Hannibal.
Enjoy it!!

I've never actually heard of Red Dragon. I loved Silence of the Lambs but that's the only one I've had a chance to watch...sick!!!!!!!!!!

Red Dragon, then Silence, then Hannibal. The Rising is a completely pointless and superfluous cash cow attempt.

And don't forget the first filmed version of Red Dragon - Michael Mann's very good "Manhunter"
