Giving up the intelligence and complexity of The Silence of the Lambs for more standard horror movie thrills with absurb violence. A real shame. While Hopkins, Oldman and Liotta are quite good the plot itself is actually rather bland.
3	DavidBlast	40 _28th
Though opting for grossfest, this is exactly the kind of Hannibalsploitation you'd fear from a sequel. Part supernatural being, scaring Haitians and dogs, part dirty old annoying man, stalking Starling and rambling about what kind of bird she is. Ridley Scott was a wrong choice for director: He likes his women strong and so, the balance between the delicate Starling and the horrendous Lector is ruined. Ironically this displays what a fragile conception Hannibal really is.
2	la boheme	60 _22nd
Huge disappointment after the brilliance that was The Silence of the Lambs. I don't necessarily fault the actors - if you likes Hopkins in Silence you'll like him here - so much as the script. Julianne Moore's problem isn't so much that she isn't Jodie Foster so much as it is that the novel this film is based upon mutilated the character she plays until unrecognizable. Even though the writers toned down the ending, they couldn't salvage the dreck that was the novel. A true shame.
2	TonythePony	55 _21st
Scott unwisely portrays Lecter as the hero (with flowing cape no less!) thereby diluting his menace and robbing us the guilty pleasure of rooting for the villain. An average plot leading to a stupid ending, cements this film as pointless and unsatisfying.
2	Cinema_Asia	55 _19th
Good god almighty this was a horrible idea. Hannibal is almost set up like a slasher film. Ray Liotta is pretty terrible and campy as well. He's also in one gory scene that is so ridiculous that it has to be seen at least once. This combines numerous decent actors into one silly shitpile of a film. David Mamet's writing never seemed more ridiculous than in this nonsense.
1	thelastdayx	30 _14th
Boring, lacks the darkness and dread that "Silence of the Lambs" was full of, and of course, Clarice is nothing without the amazing Jodi Foster... sorry Julianne Moore.
1	Dorkovsky	2 _11th
With regard to horror sequels, there have been worse defamations (Psycho, Exorcist), but this is one that most pointedly shows how much American horror has changed for the worst and, in 2010, the permanency of this shift from suspense to gore.
1	lachapelle	65 _25th
Any sequal to "Silence of the Lambs" is going to have a hard time comparing to the original. Sadly the book, "Hannibal" is not much better than the movie. Juianna Moore is a good actress, but she's no Jodie Foster. Still worth seeing.
1	Pickpocket	1 _12th
Really terrible. Julianne Moore gives one of the worst performances of her career and is just embarrassingly bad. If she wasn't getting paid millions I'd feel bad for her. Just a really boring movie and that ending was so dumb. ugh, wtf Ridley Scott?
1	pilgermann	40 _13th
Worth watching for the brain scene, but uh, not very good overall.
1	FlorVdE	4 _87th
If you can avoid comparing it to "Silence of the Lambs" this can certainly be appreciated. Hopkins is still great as Lecter and Scott brings a lot of visual flair to the proceedings... the scenes in Florence are particulary memorable. Less frightening, more grand guignol, but still worth the time.
1	kubricksucks	65 _26th
Really wore thin the novelty of Lecter.
1	JooJoo	4 _55th
One of those flicks I never could tell why people hate. Gary Oldman is the fucking man (as usual).
1	Mentaculus	39 _14th
After a rewatch I was surprised that, for a film where we see someone eat his own brains, this film is entirely devoid of any intellectual substance.
1	Shmendrek	1 _10th
Totally unnecessary. Hannibal is only really frightening when he's still something of an enigma. Having him step out of the shadows robs him of his mystique and makes for a dull film.
1	nandorizzi	80 _80th
I love this trilogy. Hopkins was immortalized, as Lector.
1	Manhatta	68 _38th
This is a killer line-up (great director, screenwriter, and actors) adapting a terrible book. They did the best they could with what they had.
1	chemical404	60 _59th
A huge step down from Silence of the Lambs. Characters are flat and one-dimensional. Even though Lecter is still played by Anthony Hopkins his irresistible charm and intelligence is gone. Seems that the main goal of Scott was to gross everyone out. Well, the film is successful at that, but I was expecting something better than just a genre film.
1	Optimus_mike	40 _18th
Fuck this movie and fuck the book.
1	Jdiddy381	65 _59th
I liked it more than most people seem to like it, so it gets a solid rating. The scene where he cuts the top of Ray Liotta's head and eats his brain is pretty much one of the best scenes ever.
1	CaptTesticle	40 _10th
Where did the Doctor's balls go? Oh, I see, Ridley ate them. Well you ain't gettin mine, pal.
1	endellion	40 _16th
the only thing this movie took from the book was its name, so much of the story line is missing and they flat out change the ending turning the story of doctor Hannibal lector into a piece of crap
1	hellboy76	54 _18th
Hopkins Hannibal has become a weird caricature. Moore dials this one in, and a shitty book becomes a shitty movie.
1	Paxton	48 _17th
Perhaps I should give this another go since Oldman is in it. I generally like horror and I love the character of Lecter, but I just don't like to see Ray Liotta hurt.
1	DesertPunk	61 _30th
Only the second most disgusting Gary Oldman performance, after his portrayal of the Devil in the Guns n' Roses 'Since I Don't Have You' music video.
1	VengefulKBM	40 _16th
The very good acting and direction mean that I didn't regret that I watched this, and yes, there are some entertainingly wacky, random goings-on in this movie. But honestly, this lacks all the actual emotional impact and investment of the rest of the series. I haven't read the book, but I feel like the story just isn't very good, as it really is beautifully filmed, and very well acted (kudos to Julianne Moore for taking an iconic role and making it her own).
1	LookJabba...	6 _41st
Hannibal is a mediocre sequel to it's far superior predecessor 'The Silence of the Lambs'. Anthony Hopkins gives another compelling performance and Gary Oldman, Ray Liotta and Giancarlo Giannini are all worthy additions. However Julianne Moore is an unsatisfying replacement for the absent Jodie Foster. Hannibal swaps the slow mounting tension of it's predecessor for less effective and exposed gore. It is interesting and chilling but occasionally dull and very average by Ridley Scott's standards.
