I know it might sound very strange, but i was laughing out loud at Hannibal frequently!I just thought it was a lot less 'scary' than 'The Silence of the Lambs'. That absolutely petrified me, but although i still think that Hannibal is an excellent film, it didn't bring that shear terror into me, that i got from The Silence of the Lambs. You would never have heard Hannibal saying 'I've had a good meal there before', when asked about a place by someone in The Silence of the Lambs- yet those comical phrases are rather frequent in Hannibal. It made the audience laugh- not that that is a bad thing, it is just not as origional as the first. I also thought it got a bit stupid because this man is having his brain cut into by Hannibal and he is still alive. It has a funny tinge to it, yet it got a bit far- fetched. The Silence of the Lambs could have actually been quite believeable. Mind you, Anthony Hopkins does not loose his complete eerieness! It is a good film, i do advise it, but if you're expecting the same as the first one, you'll be in for a suprise.

Sorry for the only H rating, but I felt you could have said a great deal more about this film. What you did say was great though, I totally agree with you that it's not as scary as Silence Of The Lambs. I actually fell asleep during Hannibal, as it wasn't gripping enough to keep me awake! If you ever update this with more info. then let me know and I'll happily re-read and re-rate. Thanks Barbara :-)
