Really Surprised!
Excellent adaptation.
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
I'm a huge fan of the triology of Hannibal Lecter (The Silence of The Lamb, Hannibal, and Red Dragon) and I find Hannibal which is done by Antony Hopkins is particularly interesting. This film, however, was the least interesting one. Maybe because there are many details taken out to fit the time duration of the film which weakened the plot.
I know the writers and directors and the like have creative control, but this is almost, no it is, OTW (Off The Wall). Same agent, Starling, out there acting like and obnoxious man. Only this time a lot bloodier and really trying to go over the top with eating habits of Lecter, and his biting habits. He is an old man, even in "Silence of the Lambs", when compared to younger, stronger well trained men. If he was well trained and didn't have Anthony Hopkins body, well, then maybe, maybe, not for sure. Well, he is known for this and that and yet he is still secured minimally, joke and doesn't happen. But Demme and Tally, the director and writer of silence of the lambs didn't do this movie because it was over the top. Anything over the top (because you look at that and not the art) and you will see the names Ridley and De Laurentiis along side. In one scene Lecter (Hopkins) overpowers Krendler (Liotta). I don't care what type of man Krendler was, do you see the difference between the two me? Watch that scene and tell me that old man Hopkins, even if he is Lecter, can, and that easily mind you, hold a hanky on Liotta's face, no way. They make Lecter to be a superhero. This movie, and most of their movies, is so far from reality it insults your intelligence. I don't know what men you people grew up with, but the older guys I saw in my neighborhood and what they did at times, well, let's just say they would have to save Lecter from them. Boy oh boy, men have become sniveling, scared little people. And I don't mean fighting evil, but standing up for what you believe in and then others should do the same no matter who they are. Here is a movie with no focus and is a shock movie and one man (A psychopath) and a woman (Starling) are the only ones that can do anything worth while, in this movie. It shows to go you, this business, primarily, is who you know and not what you know. There isn't any thing good about this movie. Where is a John Wayne when we need him? Thanks James
This movie really show how low our most intrinsic instincts may fall. I don't know what it was about but, to me, there were times when Julianne Moore's role was too expected. I think her character could've been better developed by recreating some sort of romance between her character and Hannibal.On the other hand, the settings where this movie took place where absolutely gorgeous. Including a third language in it was a great movie from the director who made some of the the characters look very reliable. As far as Anthony Hopkins acting skills absolutely flawless.Finally, I think it was a bad a idea to twist its ending compared to the novel's one since it left a feeling of inconclusiveness in this movie.
I must say that after watching "The Silence of the Lambs" I expected more form this one. I was so captivated by Hannibal Lecter and his mind and way of analysing others. And besides, Anthony Hopkins is more than perfect for this role. But however, about the movie - I can definitely say that it was interesting for me. This hole chasing between FBI agent Starling and Dr. Lecter was so good... BUT some moments were too much for me and this is the only reason for my rating. The scene with the brain was too much... and not only this one. "The Silence of the Lambs" was the perfect psychological thriller, without being disgusting.
