Summary: Pointless Sequel
Review: Waring, do not expect this movie to have the same deep impact that Silence of the Lambs had on its viewers. This movie will not make any top 100 list or win any awards. What it is, is another generic thriller just like a Kiss The Girls, or Along Came a Spider. It has an FBI Agent hunting down a wanted Serial Killer who does "really Bad things." If this movie had nothing to do with Silence of the Lambs, then no one would have gone to see it and word of mouth would have caused the movie to be pulled out of the theaters within a few weeks. If you want a gross out killer movie with a deeper plot, check out American Psycho, which is much better than this one.....D

Summary: I liked it
Review: I saw Hannibal for the first time tonight. From what I heard, I thought I wouldn't like it. But honestly--not to anger fans of 'Silence of the Lambs'--I didn't find that film as good as what I heard. I mean, Hopkins and Jody Foster deserved the awards and praise they got, but it wasn't nearly as chilling as I expected. Going into Hannibal, I expected to see a gory movie where Lecter was "dumbed down". Instead, I honestly enjoyed it more than SOTL. Julianne Moore was unbelievable as Starling. As good as Foster? I'm not sure. She had her character down perfect, which surprised me. Also, I found Lecter even more frightening, maybe because he was out loose and we saw more of him. The gore was sparce, not nearly as bad as what I saw in "Saving Private Ryan." It had a good plot, great characters, and an amazing script...the only thing I didn't enjoy was Lecter's "Okie-dokie's." Those got to me, but oh well, he only said it twice. I assume that nobody will really like this review I'm writing, but it is my review, and this is how I feel. I'm guessing that 90% of the people who will read this won't agree with me, but if 10% of those people decide to view this film and enjoy it because of my recommendation, then I've done my job. Silence of the Lambs was a great movie...but for some strange reason I liked Hannibal more.

Summary: Black comedy at it's best
Review: When I watched it in the theater I heard comments like "it was too gross" "this wasn't scary". Of course it's gross. It's about a cannibalistic serial kill that is on the loose. The lambs have been silenced and not it's Dr. Lecter's turn to have the fun. Just listen to his lines. It's a great, gross-out comedy.

Summary: Roger Moore would be proud
Review: In a marketing no-brainer, MGM Home Entertainment has dove-tailed a new version of "The Silence of the Lambs" with the video debut of that suspense classic's controversial sequel, "Hannibal." The film, directed by Ridley Scott, transports upscale villain Hannibal Lecter from the hills of the Eastern U.S. to the mopeds and Michelangelos of Florence, Italy. While "Lambs" was awash in algae green, "Hannibal" is cast in pale blues. Colors on the disc are often flat but fine. There is at least one instance of speckling. The DTS and Dolby Digital audio mixes are a great improvement on "Lambs," but remain subdued by action-picture standards. Julianne Moore plays FBI veteran Clarice Starling as a weary centurion, one used to the violence of the streets, but still affected by it. She aptly renders the clipped speech Jodie Foster used in the original, making it more naturalistic and beliveable. Scott, in his mostly focused director's commentary, notes that Moore's great talent is to be "always different in films she does." Hopkins delivers a cartoon take on his aging Lecter, single-handedly bringing to mind the 007 transition from Sean Connery to Roger Moore. "Hannibal's" notoriety, of course, is based on its final scenes, in which any veneer of seriousness is stripped away. "This has got to be funny," Scott observes, calling the cannibalism sequence "the outrageous target at the end of the film." A "very amused" medical specialist was present on the set to ensure plausibility at the dinner table, says Scott, who tells more than you'd ever want to know about brain surgery ("The brain bleeds like a pig"). The filmmakers struggled with three possible endings, two of which were shot. One alternative ending -- included among the disc's 20 minutes of deleted scenes -- eliminates the bloody handcuff twist. Another scene, never shot, provided a James Bond-style ending, Scott reveals. The deleted scenes are far better than usual. One elegaic Florence scene features Hopkins/Hannibal playing a haunting original composition on piano. Other extras include a surreal but unused title sequence, an interactive breakdown of key scenes offering multiple camera angles, a series of making-of featurettes, and the usual photo galleries and TV spots.

Summary: Review about the DVD/Video release
Review: One wonders why the movie billed as "The ending you'll never forget!" on the box when it turns out that they cut a good minute or so out of the end. This is a disappointing detail about the home releases and almost makes the deleted scenes obselete. Why include extra scenes if you're going to cut the selling point of the movie?

Summary: Absolutely horrible
Review: If you have been looking forward to this film because you enjoyed Silence of the Lambs, then you will be very disappointed. If you have looking forward to this film because you enjoyed the book, then you will be very disappointed. If you have been looking forward to this film for any other reason, then you will still be very disappointed. Julianne Moore's acting is terrible and it looked to me like they tried to make the extra gory so that the audience would focus on the gore instead of the fact that this film lacked a story.
