Product Description
Description
The silence has been broken "Thrilling" (Time), "absorbing" (The Wall Street Journal)and "entertaining" (Newsday), this follow-up to The Silence of the Lambs is an "audacious success" (Us Weekly)! Anthony Hopkins is "perverse perfection" (Rolling Stone) inhis return to the role of Dr. Hannibal Lecter, the sophisticated killer who comes out of hiding to draw FBI agent Clarice Starling (Julianne Moore) into a high-stakes battle that will test her strength, cunning and loyalty. Drenched in terror, suspense and shocking visual effects, Hannibal is "as compelling a film as you will ever see" (Joel Siegel, "Good Morning America")!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Part three in the Hannibal Lecter series(beautifully stylistic but less substance) (4.5/5),
By
This review is from: Hannibal (DVD)
"Hannibal" is directed by Ridley Scott.it takes place after the eventsin the Silence of the Lambs.Here we have the great Anthony Hopkins reprising his Role as Hannibal Lecter,serial killer and one time psychiatrist.and Julianne Moore takes over as FBI agent Clarice Starling.in this movie Hannibal comes out of hiding to bait Clarice.The movie starts in Florence Italy,where Lecter has been living in disguise as an art scholar.however events force him back to America.once there, he of course baits agent Starling and he himself becomes the focus of revenge by a former patient who barley escaped being killed by Lecter.Gary Oldman plays the former patient.the movie is very stylish with beautiful photography and scenery,especially in Italy.we are shown the old buildings with their impressive architecture.the movie is very well lit,giving the perfect atmosphere.the movie on the whole focuses more on style than substance and the fact that Lecter comes out of hiding takes away the air of mystery the film could have had.so,the film while beautiful to look at,seems hollow at times and incomplete.it can also be slow and overly dramatic at times,lacking the pace of the previous incarnations.Lecter is also played more for camp in this film,with his witty one liners.he just doesn't seem as frightening here .The acting is very good in the movie,especially by Moore,who inhabits the character of Starling with the same affectations mannerisms and accent as her predecessor,Jodi Foster.despite it's failings,i still enjoyed the movie- more so than"silence"but less so than "Red Dragon Or "Manhunter".i would have to give this movie an 8/10,for its beautiful style and the acting of Julianne Moore.

Disappointing,
By
This review is from: Hannibal [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
The film's a '10' in my book-- I think it's a highly underrated triumph, turning some of the conventions established in Silence of the Lambs on its ear (i.e., making the antagonist Hannibal Lecter, an almost sympathetic protagonist without compromising the essential nature of the character).Opinion on the film aside, this disc is not worth your money. Image-wise, it is barely an upgrade from the DVD-- a step back when you consider that all the great documentary extras have been removed. I'm not the videophile some of my fellow reviewers are, but the poor presentation is identifiable even to a non-expert like me. Avoid this one, wait for a proper release down the road.

3.0 out of 5 stars
German import,
By Ralph Jenkins - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is the German release of Ridley Scott's HANNIBAL. Things you should know about this disc: The menu is in German and the default language is German (although the English track is available). The movie and the menu will play on a U.S. model PS3, but the extras will not, as they are PAL format. The picture quality is an improvement over the DVD, but it's not on par with the best Blu-ray titles. Unfortunately, DNR (digital noise reduction) has been applied, which often gives faces a waxy look. This is likely the same transfer that was used for the DVD, but in HD this time. No HD audio is included, but the DD 5.1 English track sounds fine. Bottom line: This is only for fans of the movie who can't wait for the U.S. release.

NOT the German release of this film,
By Elephantdance "elephantdance" - Published on Amazon.com
Not sure what reviewer Jenkins is talking about. My copy of this Blu Ray looks great, has English language menus and all the special features play just fine on my US PS3.

German Import.....hope you speak German in the United States.,
By msudawg - Published on Amazon.com
I ordered this Blu-Ray since I'm a huge fan of Anthony Hopkins in his role as Hannibal Lecter. Once I received this disc (and keep in mind, I live in Tennessee, in the USA), I played the movie.....only to see the disc menu is in German....the default language is GERMAN. I just recently noticed that the Blu-Ray packaging is GERMAN. What's the deal Amazon? Don't we realize that putting the word "IMPORT" in the main title of the product being offered would keep people from buying a product written in a language they cannot decipher? I'm VERY disappointed. The Blu-Ray quality of the disc is okay....I've seen better. But this is keeping in mind that the movie was shot with film v. digital.All in all, this is the first Amazon.com purchase I've made that I've been extremely disappointed in. I honestly didn't know the movie/packaging would be a GERMAN import. I wouldn't have purchased this item had I known. I very well may wait for the US version of Hannibal to be released and buy it in English.....which is what I was hoping for in the beginning. Very shady work Amazon. I'm a loyal customer and am very disappointed. |
