Hannibal (DVD) Reviews

i'm only 7 and i must say that when the third book chronicalling the fictionary atrocities of hannibal lecter was released, i was intrigued to say the least. And i must say the book did little to disappoint except perhaps lack the thrilling dimension of the second book. however, the film, i feel captured none of the book's ...  Read the complete review

Hannibal caused quite a stir when the book was published and then when the rumours about the film started circulating I couldn’t wait to see it after I had read the book I had a need to see the film see what they had changed - what they had improved! The book had captured me and after all I already owned the Silence of The Lambs ...  Read the complete review

I am sorry but i totally disagree with every-one else when they say that this is a great film, and that its dead scary. My boyfriend and I went to see this film at our local Cinema's, and to be honest we felt like walking out half way through as we were bored stiff.Anthony Hopkins plays his part well as usual. If i had ...  Read the complete review

'Eagerly awaited' are two words much overused in articles of this nature, but they were certainly appropriate in the months leading up to the cinema release of 'Hannibal'. Directorial duties were in the hands of Ridley Scott, who had just delivered the critically adored (and eventual oscar-winner) 'Gladiator', and after years of ...  Read the complete review

MGM didn't allow me to see HANNIBAL before it's Friday opening. An advance screening was held just for the "print" media. I called MGM's publicist and left a rambling voice message. What is MGM afraid of? I couldn't read "Hannibal" by Thomas Harris, and couldn't stop reading it. The book has a ...  Read the complete review

scared me shitless - Advantages: believably scary, dont have 2 watch 1st one 2 understand - Disadvantages: few references to 1st one

Hannibal, sequel to the blockbuster hit of the early 90's 'silence of the lambs', is in my opinion one of the best films of the year. It is a lot more graphic than the first film and leaves less to the imagination, but in my opinion matches its predecessor. A view that not many people take. Starring Anthony ...  Read the complete review

This movie is really great. I really regret I could watch this movie last week. Movie comes in two dvd. The first one contains the movie, the second one contains extra things like some scenes from different angles, deleted scenes (there are lots of them, the development of the movie. Only thing that disappointed me was that ...  Read the complete review

Last summer, in a fit of uncharacteristic entusiasm, I picked up Thomas Harris’ third book in the Hannibal Lector series, entitled simply ‘Hannibal’ and read it from cover to cover in two days. The previous two books had impressed me, and this one, whilst being rather far-fetched and unrealistic, was as good a ...  Read the complete review

Hannibal Lecter is back, and this time he’s…….not quite as intelligent as last time! For those of you familiar with The Silence of the lambs, (TSOFTL) you will no doubt have been expecting, as I was, a film similar in it’s intensity and intellect of Hannibal. Silence of the lambs centred mainly on the ...  Read the complete review

This is how films on DVD should be presented. By this I mean backed up with a plethora of extras. The film itself is worth watching. Ridley Scott's visuals are beautiful and while many people say the film is far too gory for their liking, I find that this is not the case. Rather than sticking it blood and guts in your face, ...  Read the complete review

Where to start? Perhaps its best to start with the film itself. Director Ridley Scott has brought his usual flair and eye for detail to this sumptuous sequel to the Silence of the Lambs. Many people have accused Scott of glamourising the levels of violence in this film, I however have a different opinion. Scott creates considerable ...  Read the complete review

I will be honest with you and say that I went in to seeing this movie thinking that it wouldn't be very good. No Jodie Foster, mixed reviews and far too much hype, didn't really make it sound like it would come close to the brilliance of The Silence Of The Lambs. Well I was wrong. This is a superb movie! ...  Read the complete review

There are 116 opinions on Hannibal in the standard film section, and only 3 opinions for the DVD; so due to my egotistical desire to be in the top six, I'll tell you about the DVD. And what a DVD it is! This two-disc set is what we have come to expect from "big" releases, and impresses with the quantity and the quality ...  Read the complete review

*Hannibal* is a Movie (and a book) about the psychopathic superman, Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins). It is the third in a sequence of thrillers about serial killing in the course of which Lecter's role has gradually increased. It is a film in which, with the possible exception of FBI Agent Starling (deputed to hunt down ...  Read the complete review

This is the long awaited sequel to 'silence of the lambs' the award winning film based around, as you all probably know, Dr.lector the hannibal. When I watched this i hadn't seen 'silence of the lambs' so if you haven't seen it and your thinking 'shall i watch it first?' Well although it is an ...  Read the complete review

After the supior Silence of the Lambs should we have expected a great response from this film? Well it has a huge hit at the big screen but then so is every sequel which was a big hit in the original. The question isn't whether it was popular, but whether it was any good. As soon as Thomas Harris announced the sequel to ...  Read the complete review

I watched Hannibal with a certain expectation. I’d already read the book and friends told me the film was fantastic and gory. Well, it was at least one of those. The graphical effects were immense. The effects were so realistic it was unbelievable and nearly made me sick a few times! However, I was quite disappointed in a number of ...  Read the complete review

I was extremely excited at the prospect of going to see this movie as I'd only recently seen Silence of the Lambs, which scared the pants off me:) I was informed by press everywhere that this was going to be the scariest film I'd ever seen, however it most certainly wasn't! There was a scene involving wild pigs which did ...  Read the complete review
