Hannibal is the sequel to the psychological thriller, The Silence of the Lambs starring Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins, and the like. But Hannibal is different. Instead, we have a new age movie with Julianne Moore instead of Jodie Foster. Why, oh why they didn’t chose Jodie again will always baffle me. While Moore does an O.K. job at portraying the original Agent Scarlet, she lacks with what Foster didn’t. Talent. But we have Anthony Hopkins here back as Hannibal Lecter and he tries and tries to pull the movie forward, he just couldn’t overcome the bad directing, bad story, and the supporting actors fall just as flat as his next victim.
The Verdict:
Anthony Hopkins does his best to pull the movie forward, but it suffers from being to thrilling and with too many action scenes. If this is the evolution of Hannibal Lecter, I’m willing to stay stuck in time.
I give Hannibal 2.5 brain entrées out of 5. 2.5/5.
