Part three in the Hannibal Lecter series(beautifully stylistic but less substance),
By falcon "disdressed12" (canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hannibal (DVD)
"Hannibal" is directed by Ridley Scott.it takes place after the events
in 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 Jullianne 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 "RedDragon Or "Manhunter".i would have to give this movie a 4/5 for its beautiful style and the acting of Jullianne Moore.

MONEY, MONEY, YUMMY, YUMMY,
By jason (AUSTRALIA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hannibal (Widescreen) [2 disc Special Edition] (DVD)
WHEN I FIRST HEARD THAT DIRECTOR RIDLEY SCOTT WAS INVOLVED IN THE SEQUEL TO THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO A RAW THRILLING PIECE OF CINEMATIC HISTORY. I SAT PATIENTLY IN MY CINEMA CHAIR, GROWING MORE AND MORE RESTLESS. IT WAS WHEN THE INFAMOUSE END SEQUENCE ARRIVED THAT I ACTUALLY TURNED TO THE PERSON SAT BESIDE ME AND ASKED "IS THIS A JOKE?" I FELT LIKE I WAS ON A NEW HIDDEN CAMERA SHOW AND THE FILM I WAS WATCHING WAS A GOFFY SETUP. SADLY, THE MOVIE WAS INDEED NOT A SETUP AND THIS WAS WHAT FANS HAD BEEN THROWN AFTER A VERY PROMISING BUILDUP. FOR ANYONE WHO CLAIMS HANNIBAL IS A CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE, I JUST WANT TO ASK YOU ONE QUESTION; IF HANNIBAL LECTER IS SUCH AN INTELLIGENT MADMAN, SURELY HE WOULD KNOW TO GET OUT OF HANDCUFFS ALL HE HAD TO DO WAS CHOP OFF HIS THUMB AND NOT HIS WHOLE HAND. EVEN THE DUMBEST CRIMINALS KNOW THAT!!! LUCKILY RED DRAGON REDEFINED THE WORDS INTELLIGENCE AND SUSPENSE AND GAVE AUDIENCES THE PROPER ENTERTAINMENT THEY DESERVE.

Disappointing, floundering follow up,

This review is from: Hannibal (Widescreen) [2 disc Special Edition] (DVD)
When Thomas Harris wrote Hannibal, it was a safe bet that a film wouldn't be far along. Silence of the Lambs director Jonathan Demme and star Jodie Foster declined to take part in Hannibal claiming they found the story distasteful; so director Ridley Scott (Black Hawk Down, Gladiator, Alien) and actress Julianne Moore (replacing Foster as FBI Agent Clarice Starling) were brought into this disappointing follow up. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins reprising his Oscar winning role), now living the life of luxury in Italy, finds himself on the run from Mason Verger (an unrecognizeable and uncredited Gary Oldman), a former patient who at Hannibal's advice peeled off part of his face. Meanwhile, Clarice finds her career on the downward spiral as she as used as bait by Verger to lure Lecter out of hiding. The suspense can't hold up to that of Silence of the Lambs (movie or book that is) and Scott's direction, even though he gives it his own slick look, is disappointing. Moore, as good an actress as she is, can't hold a candle to Jodie Foster as we find the once strong willed but vulnerable Clarice be more of a victim here than anything else. Finally, Hopkins just isn't scary anymore as Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter. That alone is probably the worst part of the film, and while Hannibal isn't necessarily bad, it's one of the most disappointing films to be released over the past few years. The cast also includes Francesca Neri, Frankie Faison, and Ray Liotta in the film's most infamous scene.
