Hannibal

Pros: Premium everything

Cons: Did not meet expectations of some, but judged on its own merits it's tops

The Bottom Line: I know there are over 300 reviews here but I urge you to give this movie a chance. If you like well done horror, you will be pleasantly surprised!

Review: Hannibal (2001) “When the fox hears the rabbit scream, he comes a-running; but not to help.” Mason Verger Ridley Scott‘s Hannibal evokes strong emotions in most people that have seen it, negative or positive. Judging from ...

Pros: The entire production!

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: Unforgettable, a roller coaster ride of a story, Hannibal is not to be missed.

Review: Ten years following Silence of the Lambs, the sinister Dr. Lector is still at large. His intellectual contender and the arm of justice, Clarice Starling, continues to be disturbed by his murderous appeal, and when Lector decides to quite ...

Pros: I loved every aspect of the film.

Cons: May be to gory and over-the-top for some. Oh well.

The Bottom Line: You'll love it, or hate it. Just be sure to see it.

Review: Hannibal is without a doubt one of those films that will have audiences divided. And I mean big time. Many will be part of the majority, who absolutely hate this film. Or you may be like me, and you'll absolutely love it. My point is,...

Pros: Excellent conclusion of Harris' psych trilogy...

Cons: May be too intense for some audiences...

The Bottom Line: Scott and Moore step in alongside Hopkins without missing a beat in delivering the best sequel flick since Godfather II...

Review: Too bad they didn't nail the old progressive rock theme onto the end of Dino De Laurentiis¡¦ Oscar-prone sequel to the 1991 Academy bulldozer, Silence of the Lambs. It has everything but a Best Song locked and loaded for Tinseltown honors, and...

Pros: Strong sense of drama, creepiness, and dark humor.

Cons: I'm sure there are a few petty flaws. Who cares?

The Bottom Line: Hannibal Lecter is well served by the great Hopkins and by this first-rate production. There is a great sense of fun running through all the grimness.

Review: I believe we may all admit that Sir Anthony Hopkins owns the Hannibal Lecter rôle. His ability to convey an almost infinite palette of shades of meaning while keeping his delivery almost to a perfect matter-of-fact tone is amazing. And really, really ...

Pros: Great acting by Anthony Hopkins

Cons: A little gory, don't expect another Silent Of the Lambs

The Bottom Line: Please just read the epinion, you'll find what you need to know there.

Review: First off I would like to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, however many people were displeased with this movie, expecting another Silence Of The Lambs. Now you cannot go into this movie expecting another Silence of the lambs, or a movie with the...

Pros: Suspenseful, edge of your seat thriller.

Cons: Extremely graphic, not for the weak of stomach.

The Bottom Line: If you are a die-hard fan of horror movies and loved Silence of the Lambs, you need to see Hannibal. I don't think you'll be disappointed!

Review: I had much awaited the opening weekend of this movie. One mistake I made was reading the book before seeing the movie. I really enjoyed the movie, but it did leave out many parts of the book. We once again join Clarice to hunt down Dr. Lecter and he...

Pros: Julianne Moore proves her skill, tight script, Gary Oldman and Anthony Hopkins

Cons: None I noticed

The Bottom Line: Intriguing story.

Review: I just saw this movie tonight and was I ever impressed!

Having seen "Hannibal", the criticisms I've heard about this film seem to me based entirely on two grudge factors: its a sequel and no Jodie Foster. In my opinion these factors are...

Pros: Superb suspense and performances

Cons: A little too artsy at times, but hardly unbearable

The Bottom Line: If you're married to memories of Silence of the Lambs, maybe not--otherwise, this might just be your cup of Chianti.

Review: Allow me to add to the ongoing Hannibal Lecter debate by saying I think Hannibal is a smashing sequel, the kind of intense psychological thriller that Silence of the Lambs wanted to be.

For all its claims to being a psychological...

Pros: More splatter, more style, more Hopkins and NO Jodie Foster!

Cons: Possibly a little TOO stylish for it's own good.

The Bottom Line: The most artistically accomplished and unnapologetically bloody horror films to come along in far, far too long.

Review: American-made celluloid killers, for the better part of the past few decades, have generally been portrayed as a series of poverty-class slobs. Much of this is owed to the cinematic trend towards "realism," since most real-life famous madmen have turned...
