Great, not completely accurate, but very good.,
By
This review is from: Hannibal (Widescreen) [2 disc Special Edition] (DVD)
The film is based on Thomas Harris' third installment in the "Hannibal Lecter Series" (Although, Hannibal Lecter is only a major character in one book.) The movie's ending was completely different than that of the book. WARNING: IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK, AND WANT TO, DO NOT READ THE NEXT SENTENCE! In the book, Lecter basically brainwashes Starling and takes her as his wife and moves to South America. WARNING OVERHopkins' acting was not as good as it was in "Silence of the Lambs," but it's very good. Julianne Moore's performance was not as good as Jodie Foster's. The movie excluded the character Margot, Mason Verger's lesbian sister. I think she greatly enhanced the story's progress. In the movie, anything Margot did that was pivotal to the story (basically, just pushing Verger into the pigpen) Verger's personal doctor did. Basically, if you're just looking for an amazing movie, DON'T pick this up, if you're looking for a gory movie, pick it up. If you're looking for a good sequel to an amazing movie (Silence of the Lambs.)

Part three in the Hannibal Lecter series(beautifully stylistic but less substance),
By
This review is from: NEW Hannibal (DVD) (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 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.

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.
