while it wasn't as good as SOTL, neither was Red Dragon, and that isn't a put down. I refer to the book. The film stands on it's own, despite what the critics might say.The book fell short on many aspects but after reading it I came to see the twist TH put on Hannibal's character. From vestigal monster to monster at the door to CS's savior, all in the space of three books.
I would have trimmed many pages and scenes from the book but then armchair quarterbacking the book is easy. Writing is hard.
