I found Hannibal a good follow up to silence of the lambs, though like most follow ups it was not as good as the original. I think it's biggest letdown was the replacement of Jodie Foster with Julianne Moore. Julianne Moore played the part very convincingly and gave strength to the character of Agent Clarice Starling, but did not quite pull off the character as portrayed by Jodie Foster.

The plot did lack some of the suspense of the original, I found I was correctly anticipating the next nuance of the plot instead of being surprised / shocked. It was somewhat predictable. The film did not seem to build up momentum but instead ambled along at a steady pace.

The blood and gore of the film seemed more designed to shock it's audience than to be an essential part of the plot, particulary the revenge he took on Paul Krendler (Ray Liotta) for his supposeded betrayal of Clarice. The idea of a romantic interest between the principal players, although only a suggestion, I found quite sick and unbelievable.

For the blood and gore junkies out there it's one to watch but if you want depth of plot give it a miss.

Hi and welcome to Ciao. :) You put this in the DVD section, but you didn't mention any of the extra features of the DVD. Maybe you should have this moved to the film section for Hannibal and not the DVD.
