Just saw "Hannibal Rising". A really good movie, if you liked the other movies in this series. It also explains in the first 15-20mins, the horrific thing that happens to Hannibal as a child, that leads him to become, what he is, as an adult.
I'd rate it a 8/10.

Was worried about that film as I liked the others so much but I'll give it a go now, thanks

Saw 3

You're welcome, Monstro. :D

There's lots.. of action in "Hannibal Rising", not at all boring like "Red Dragon". Although, RD's ending pretty much made up for the rest of that film.

Film 1:mrgreen::up: Film 2:down::angry:

The Hannibal series is a typical series which sould have been left to the first, or maybe the second one. Silence of the Lambs is one of the best films ever IMO, Hannibal wasnt that good, and I dont wanna talk about Red Dragon....
I´m curious about the new one, though I dont expect too much...

I think Hannibal Rising is going to be one to see, from what I've seen and heard of it it's better than Hannibal.

It wants to be, Hannibal was awful

I think the only one decent out of these series was Silence of the Lambs...and so was a book...

Saw Silence Of The Lambs for the first time last week, really enjoyed it, and not too many scratch marks in the arm next to me! lol

ANd I found Hannibal not just disgusting...but ridiculous...

I saw it years ago (not having seen Silence Of The Lambs) so I expected a film to match the hype that went with it...sadly not, I was just bored

Bought the book when it came out, and made the mistake of reading that before seeing the film, the book isn't a patch on Silence Of The Lambs, but it's still far better than the film adaptation.

Ahhhh...if you've seen or read Silence...reading and watching Hannibal was far from boring...I remember myself foaming at the mouth...

Family Guy season 5

I think Silence of the Lambs was really outstanding, and Hannibal not bad...as the movies consist of so many different styles, as thriller, horror, psycho-thriller, criminal story, etc, the personal opinion is a matter of the favourite style.

Always wanted to reed the books though...

I'd be interested to read the book - I guess it's the "rule" that the books are always better than the films... although in saying that I was extremely disappointed when I read The Shawshank Redemption, that didn't even come close to the film

Well, if you think Hannibal is not bad...how is it then that Clarice's character is turned around 180 degrees and made into something she has never been??? But maybe it's clearer from the books...

Just saw "Stand by me"
Haven´t seen it in a while, so it reminded me again how good it actually is.

I like all three of the Lector movies, but Silence of the lamps is really the most outstanding one! Great movie!!!
@ RJ: It´s on German television on 25. Feb ;)

I used to have the book of Hannibal, but just looked on my shelves and it's gone :? Might have to hunt it down to reread it. Do remember from the film that the Clarice characterisation didn't follow on from Silence, but some of that could have been the fact that Jodie Foster and her accent weren't in the follow up...

I don't judge by the movie...but the book...what author has done to Clarice is just plain disgusting...and doesn't follow at all...that's what really turned me off...PLUS...dining on somebody's brains is just...ummm...a little sick...

Well, I can judge just from the movies...
But Jodie Foster is just a completely different actress than Julianne Moore, and the difference in Clarice's character are a matter of their different interpretation of the figure.

Really should get the book(s)

Anyone knows the original to Red Dragon, without Anthony Hopkins, from end 80s-ish?

Well...Julianne Moore took the part after Jodie Foster categorically refused to play in a movie after reading what happened to the character of Clarice from the script...

Yeah, I've seen the movie and I read the book...Silence of the Lambs is still the best...although Red Dragon is better than Hannibal
