Hannibal

It's finally happened, its finally come..yes that's right the sequel to Hannibal has made it to theaters everywhere. Every critic in the world has voiced their opinion on Hannibal, but now its our turn. From voices like yours, here is Hannibal - GYEAH says...

Brunswick Stew's Opinion:

"There are three key ingredients to a great night out. A hot and horny chick named Shawna, getting laid by the hot and horny chick named Shawna, and seeing a great movie.

Unfortunately, I only received one of those three things this weekend. I'll give you a hint...it wasn't the first and second of the trio.

But, this was OK, because the inevitable sequel to The Silence of the Lambs and it's suspenseful plot line proved to be enough fornication for the night. With excellent performances from Anthony Hopkins, Julianne Moore, and Ray Liotta, Hannibal had it all. Senseless violence, gore, cannibalism, annoying foreign people, big goons, and a guy with a deformed face. Hell, the only thing this movie lacked, much like my evening, was gratuitous sex. That was quite alright with me however, since the type of sex scene that would fit this genre of movie frankly makes me sick to my stomach.

For those who haven't caught it in theaters yet, take it from me...it's DEFINATELY worth the admission price. And, for a good laugh, take your girlfriend for a nice dinner before the movie. To show her appreciation, she'll likely throw up that steamed crab that cost you a bundle immediately after the picture enters it's good scenes.

All in all, Hannibal was frankly one of the best sequels to a movie that I've ever seen. With disembowelment, face-biting, stalking, and cooking body parts on a stir-fry...you just can't go wrong."

Aron Rave's Opinion:

"Hannibal... Ah, what a great sequel it will be, full of violence and mystery... WRONG! Hannibal sucks. It blows. It's a major piece of shit. It is not "Battlefield Earth" shit, but it's still shit.

You take one of the coolest movie ever, you take one of the dangerous vilain ever, you take big bucks to have someone with a scary face, and a nice setup for one icon movie. BUT YOU DON'T FUCK EVERYTHING UP! Why should this movie be full of nonsense, of stupidity and technical errors? Good God it the sequel to the Silence of the Lambs! We want blood, we want people get eaten, we want some fucking crazy shots, and on the top of it, something that make all that stay together in an non-idiotic way. Hannibal is a cannibal, how people does he eat? ZERO. He's a damn crazy bitch, how many IMPORTANT (that we care of) people does he directly kill? ONE. The critics said the movie was disgusting by moment, hell, maybe they went to the wrong theatre and watched Suguar and Spice, but nothing made me jump off my chair. I didn't cared one second for anybody in this movie except Hannibal himself. Too bad he had a secondary role.

1.5 stars out of 4, go get first one. Someone screwed up, but I don't think he care: He is now a rich asshole. What a world..."

Goc's Opinion:

"This movie just didn't do it for me. I'm a huge fan of SotL and of course read Hannibal in novel form. I've been following the making of the sequel and waited for this one with baited breath. Then I sat through this movie and I've come to a conclusion. This isn't a sequel, its a whole new movie. Why do I say this? The characters have just changed way too much for me. The things I liked best about Hannibal Lecter are gone, no where to be found in the sequel. What happened to the Lecter who harassed females and often spoke of sex, even asking the Senator how long she nursed her captured daugther. In Hannibal, Lecter was giving women opera collectiables...whats up with that? The reason we loved Hannibal is because he wasn't afraid to ask people anything. He mind-f*cked them and we loved him for it. I just didn't see that in this Lecter. Also the reason I think SotL is so good, is the amazing dialogue between Starling and Lecter, and now we get few words from the two. Too many new characters were introduced, when we all know Lecter and Starling are all we need.

But finally, if there hadn't been a SotL and this was the first movie in a series, I wouldn't be nearly as critical. I just loved SotL so much, and well think about it. It was an AFI Top 100 movie of all time. Say me and you made a movie with our friends and it was one of the best of all time. The second time around would we get a different director, a different star, different writers, and totally change the mood. I know I wouldn't, I wish they hadn't."
