    Hannibal is chilling!!!!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 23, 2006

    Pros: atmospheric

    Cons: the shock ending did turn people away

    Anthony Hopkins gave a chilling performance as Hannibal, "the Cannibal", Lector. Everytime he talked intelligent and gave historical quotes gave me chills. He seem like normal college professor, but deep-down inside he is a sadisticinsane p...sychopath. But people watching this movie don't seem to understand that. The movie is a suspenseful and intense thriller because it focuses on the life of a psychopath. In the beginning of the movie, we see him as a regular human being talking sophicatedly and a guy we like to listen to. But as the film progresses, we see him in true form as a cannibal. He is psychopath who likes to kill and eat people. At first we feel he is a hero and we begin to like him, which is scary because he is truly a full-blown villain. At the end, we see him do an unexplicable act and are horrify at it. For this reason, I believe most people hated the movie. It isn't because of the graphic and gory scene, it is because we were enjoying him throughout the movie and was loving him, but then we are impacted, like a train wreck, and we realize that he is truly psychotic. We cannot believe we were liking this guy! And if you see Clarice at the end, she immediately changes from liking him into hating him altogether. Throughout the movie, the people were really the character of Clarice. This is truly a terrific movie and a misunderstood psychological thriller!! Read more Less

    Cannibal!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 24, 2002

    Ridley Scotts dive into the Hannibal Lector story, turned out great. Once again Anthony Hopkins performance as Hannibal the Cannibalwas excellent. Jullianne Moore did a greatjob also, with filling Jodie Fosters shoes.The extensive gore and superb act...ing make thisa very entertaining movie. Read more Less

    Hannibal is a Great Film!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 6, 2002

    I will have to defend Hannibal. Hannibal is a great film that is equally and in some cases even more entertaining than The Silence of the Lambs. Ridley Scott has done a great job directing with style, gore and great locations. He really should have u...sed the 2:35:1 camera instead of 1:85:1. Anthony Hopkins, well what can I say, he is great and fits back into the role of Hannibal Lector perfectly. Julianne Moore has done a good job fitting into Jodie Foster's shoes as Clarice Starling and overall there acting is spot on. The script has been written perfectly and the Hans Zimmer music score has topped it off perfectly. All I can say is Hannibal is a great movie that has been made right down to the last detail perfectly. Must See. Great job Ridley. Read more Less

    Hannibal is just a lil' better then SOTL becaus

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 23, 2002

    Hannibal is just a lil' better then SOTL because Anthony Hopkins gets to be in way more of it. But I wish Jodie Foster would have agreeed to be in the project because it just would have been cooler even though Julianna Moore did a great job. And the ...ending you will never forget for the rest of your life. Read more Less

    If you don't love this movie...

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 8, 2002

    then u don't know anything about great filmmaking. This movie features the best screenplay ever written, the best music score ever composed, some of the most beautiful imagery and cinematography ever captured on film, the most brilliant acting and d...irecting ever, great characters, compelling storyline, absolutely exhilerating death scenes, a great ending, humor, suspense, gore, sophistication, etc... This film has too many strengths to even count, this movie is so great it makes up for how bad the Silence of the Lambs was. This is quite simply THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER MADE. And the DVD is great. A 2-disc set that gives an in depth look into the best film of all time. An absolute must own DVD. I saw this living work of art 8 times in theatres and I have watched the DVD over 20 times. This is the type of spectacular filmmaking that the oscars should be recognizing, not crap like Silence of the Lambs, Titanic, and Crouching Tiger. WHAT A MOVIE!!! if you have any sense of good taste in movies at all, u will love this, then again, if u have no taste, then the oh so boring Silence of the Lambs is the movie for u. HANNIBAL FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!****

    One of the Best Films Made!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 8, 2002

    Hannibal is one of the best films I have ever seen. It is a great sequel to "The Silence of the Lambs". Most sequels I have seen in the past have been really crap. There have been very few sequels that have been able to match there first film. Ridley... Scott (Gladiator, Black Hawk Down) directs this sequel with style, class and takes us to exotic locations and does not cut back from any of the horror. Anthony Hopkins (Heatrs in Atlantis) reprises his role as Hannibal "the cannibal" Lector and Juliannne Moore (Evolution) does a fine job as Clarice Starling (Originally played by Jodie Foster).It has a good storyline, great locations, Hans Zimmer music score and good grusome bits. A truely great film! Ridley Scott has given us another one of his great Masterpieces. A must see and have film! Read more Less

    Good sequel to an excellent film

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 7, 2001

    This film, to me, is [unfortunately] one of the best films of 2001. This year has displayed many, MANY bad films, but Hannibal, if you look at it, is actually quite good, and is almost in the same league as Silence of the Lambs. The acting in this f...ilm is more than Oscar deserving. Though i think that Jonathan Demme would have done a better job, what with knowing the characters and what not and knowing the story, but Ridley Scott did a FASCINATING job.. I love this film. I now LOVE julianne moore and anthony hopkins. The feel of this film is just so... mind bending.. Its very captive, this film. Very good. It's one of my new favorites Read more Less
