Hannibal (DVD) Reviews

To start this off, I’d like to say that a) I enjoyed this film and that b) It wasn’t even mildly gory. How weak-minded are you people? The film opens with Barney, a nurse from the asylum that Dr Lecter used to be in talking to Mr Verger, a disfigured man in a wheelchair, who we later learn is the ...  Read the complete review

Having read the book, I had made up my mind not to bother with the film. The reason being that I found the book gripping and spine chilling until the end. For those that haven't read the book, I won't spoil it except to say that the ending is extremely far fetched and for me completely unbelievable. I felt let down. ...  Read the complete review

Anthony Hopkins is back as the Dr. Hannibal "the Cannibal" Lecter, and, given the hype surrounding his return in this film, Hannibal, you'd think Jesus has risen again. Set seven years after Silence of the Lambs, Hopkins has strutted off to Italy for some fine art and relaxation. But always on the Hannibal hunt is ...  Read the complete review

There was some hype last year that this movie was not going to match the success of its predecessor, 'The Silence of the Lambs' because Jodie Foster was not going to reprise her role as Special Agent Clarice Starling. I was actually quite skeptical myself and wondered if this sequel would do nothing more than feed off ...  Read the complete review

Without doubt one of cinema’s most notorious and recognisable villains of all time is Dr. Hannibal ‘The Cannibal’ Lecter. The long awaited sequel to ‘The Silence of the Lambs’ and one of cinema’s most troubled productions ‘Hannibal’ has finally hit these shores and I couldn’t honestly ...  Read the complete review

One of the most eagerly anticipated films of the year, Hannibal, finally hit the cinemas. In his gripping follow-up to the Silence of the Lambs, Sir Anthony Hopkins reprises his most infamous character, the man-eating Dr Hannibal Lecter. Its 10 years since he first crossed paths with FBI agent Clarice Starling (Julianne Moore) ...  Read the complete review

Like always, this film was 'hyped' up very much and I wanted to find out what all the talk was about. Was there more gore and if it didn't follow the book version, how did it end? Well my first and main opinion is that it was not as good as the original Silence of The Lambs. Unfortunately 'Clarice' just ...  Read the complete review

Hannibal is finally here but how would it ever compare to the masterful twisted plot of Lambs? Well, for one, the director (Ridley Scott), did a bang up job with his previous film Gladiator. I expected nothing less with this film. The movie Hannibal is based on the novel written by Thomas Harris. The screenwriters (David Mamet ...  Read the complete review

I've never really been too good with gore on the cinema screen. So I haven't actually seen all of Hannibal - I have to admit, I closed my eyes in one or two places. But, I enjoyed this film immensely. Despite the fact that I hadn't seen Silence of the Lambs first, Hannibal Lector is such a well known character (read: insane ...  Read the complete review

I went to see this movie last week,well I had to because it had so much publicity in the papers and was highly recommended by Box Office. Well £4.50 and a few hours later I felt totally let down.It was totally different to the first film Silence of the Lambs. I found it boring and some parts actually sickening.,for ...  Read the complete review

Thomas Harris took the pay check and churned out the entertainingly pulpy novel, 'Hannibal'. Ridley Scott took his resurrected career and turned the book into an entertainingly pulpy film of the same name. Throwing away any pretenses of being a serious movie that 'Manhunter' and 'Silence of the Lambs' ...  Read the complete review

Now if u want to see a film which is funny stupid and gory watch this. Anthony Hopkins is great and cracks some good jokes. And the new actor for clarice is also very good she had to take over from Jodie Foster who refused to do it. The story is a bit weird and it has some killer pigs in it but overall it was good. Clarice is bought back ...  Read the complete review

Hannibal (2000) Since its release, there has been a lot of commotion and fuss about this film, and I am sure it has created the hype that the studios hoped it would. Opinions I heard have been indifferent, some saying how brilliant this film is, and other saying how disappointed they were, although you find that with ...  Read the complete review

I don't really need to explain what this film is the sequel to, if you really don't know then you probably don't care anyway. I only watched silence of the lambs (whoops, I've revealed what it is the sequel to after all...) a few weeks before watching Hannibal and thought it was an amazing film, I then thought that I had ...  Read the complete review

This is a disappointing film. I’ll tell you why later, but first the basic plot. Cannibal Dr Hannibal Lecter ( Anthony Hopkins ) has decided to come back into the public eye by starting a fresh spree of eating people. Special Agent Starling ( Julianne Moore ) has been assigned to help discover his whereabouts and capture him. ...  Read the complete review

I've been looking forward to HANNIBAL for a long time - I really like both MANHUNTER and THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and was hoping to enjoy the return of Hannibal Lector. And enjoy it I did, although I didn't like it! I jumped in all the right places, and hid my eyes behind my fingers at various points, but I still ...  Read the complete review

Menu: Starter - Palpable sense of expectation served on a cold, rainy afternoon at Brighton Marina's cinema. Excitement sauce with twist of anticipatory nerves... (Serves a queue of 50) So there we were, huddled against the wall, waiting to get our tickets for the awaiting feast. Some people were discussing Silence of the ...  Read the complete review

I'm not going to tell you who's in it or anything, as loads of people have written that already. So I'll let you know what I think. Firstly, I think film reviews are fairly innacurate, as everyones opinions differ. I like a film which has quite a lot to it, and not your all out action film. I am not easily shocked ...  Read the complete review

Having watched The Silence Of The Lambs on channel 5 last week I was really looking forward to watching the sequel “Hannibal.” To be honest I much preferred Silence Of the Lambs. It had a better storyline and really kept you on the edge of your seat. Hanniba l is a film most people would want to see to find out what happens ...  Read the complete review

Ok - if you are not a fan of gore don't see this - if you are - DO! I had been waiting for this since the book was released, hoping that it would be better (couldn't not be) than the book on which it is based. Thomas Harris what where you thinking???! You sold your soul to the devil! Usually in films and books the male ...  Read the complete review
