Summary: 5 Stars
Hannibal is, like Silence of the Lambs, an expression of a great tale by Thomas Harris with its main character portrayed by Anthony Hopkins. In Hannibal one sees evidence of the justification of the assertion of many critics and movie goers, that Anthony Hopkins is truly one of a handful of great actors making movies today. The scenes crafted by the director, the make-up and the music, all combine to elevate the suspense in this film. Perhaps of all the great elements that come together to make this film so good, none was more evident to me than the choice of the actress to play Clarice. In this part we are treated to images and performances of Julianne Moore. She is surely one of the most talented, sexy and beautiful women in movies today. If you are a male, whether you are 18 or 75, you are very likely to find yourself wishing for more from her in future films. I have always been an Anthony Hopkins fan and now I find that I am also a Julianne Moore fan. This film holds your attention and it ends with a real dramatic flair as a final gift from a gifted director. Buy it - own it - and look at it often. DVD Review: Foul.
Summary: 2 Stars
Hannibal starring Anthony Hopkins and Julianne Moore is a disgusting sequel to The Silence of the Lambs. Jodie Foster refused to reprise her role as Clarice Starling, she sure made the right decision! Moore is awkward as Starling, she has a hard time tackling the accent. Hopkins is still creepy but that scene with the pigs is so vile, I covered my eyes, ugh! Horrible movie, Red Dragon is better than this.
Description of Hannibal (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Anthony Hopkins is "perverse perfection" (Rolling Stone) in his return to the role of Dr. Hannibal Lecter, the sophisticated killer who comes out of hiding to draw FBI agent Clarice Starling (Julianne Moore) into a high-stakes battle that will test her strength, cunning and loyalty.Yes, he's back, and he's still hungry. Ten years after The Silence of the Lambs, Dr. Hannibal "the Cannibal" Lecter (Anthony Hopkins, reprising his Oscar-winning role) is living the good life in Italy, studying art and sipping espresso. FBI agent Clarice Starling (Julianne Moore, replacing Jodie Foster), on the other hand, hasn't had it so good--an outsider from the start, she's now a quiet, moody loner who doesn't play bureaucratic games and suffers for it. A botched drug raid results in her demotion--and a request from Lecter's only living victim, Mason Verger (Gary Oldman, uncredited), for a little Q and A. Little does Clarice realize that the hideously deformed Verger--who, upon suggestion from Dr. Lecter, peeled off his own face--is using her as bait to lure Dr. Lecter out of hiding, quite certain he'll capture the good doctor.
Taking the basic plot contraptions from Thomas Harris's baroque novel, Hannibal is so stylistically different from its predecessor that it forces you to take it on its own terms. Director Ridley Scott gives the film a sleek, almost European look that lets you know that, unlike the first film (which was about the quintessentially American Clarice), this movie is all Hannibal. Does it work? Yes--but only up to a point. Scott adeptly sets up an atmosphere of foreboding, but it's all buildup for anticlimax, as Verger's plot for abducting Hannibal (and feeding him to man-eating wild boars) doesn't really deliver the requisite visceral thrills, and the much-ballyhooed climatic dinner sequence between Clarice, Dr. Lecter, and a third unlucky guest wobbles between parody and horror. Hopkins and Moore are both first-rate, but the film contrives to keep them as far apart as possible, when what made Silence so amazing was their interaction. When they do connect it's quite thrilling, but it's unfortunately too little too late. --Mark Englehart
