Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
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

When I first saw the Silence Of The Lambs at age 13, it was scary & disturbing and I loved it! but when I saw Hannibal it was a disappointment! The acting was good but the film itself to me was just a let down not as good as the 1st chapter. When there's a dinner scene with Hannibal & Agent Sterling with the brain from the Ray Liotta's character & even the ending inside the plane with a kid, it was straight disgusting! Saw this film once (samething with Red Dragon) and once is enough!

Although it took several weeks for "Hannibal" to arrive, the product was well worth the wait. This steelbook edition is lovely - a definite must-buy for Lecter fans. As for the movie itself, I enjoyed it very much. "Silence of the Lambs" will always be my favorite of the Lecter series, but "Hannibal" is a close second.
I found the plot to be rather slow-moving at first, but this was partly a good thing as it took me a little time to get adjusted to Julianne Moore's portrayal of Starling (which, although quite different from Jodi Foster's, was still well-suited to the character). Ridley Scott builds the suspense gradually and slowly, waiting for viewers to be silently begging for some real action before the plot takes off. Once it does, you will be at the edge of your seat until the credits roll. I found certain scenes in "Hannibal" to be almost more chilling than those in SOTL, and I am still reeling from the end. The acting, as to be expected, was no less than exceptional, especially in the case of Anthony Hopkins.
Both "Silence" and "Hannibal" are works of art, though in different categories. While "Silence" had an intense, gritty air, "Hannibal's" was graceful and smooth, although no less gruesome. Both tones work fantastically for their genre and I love both movies. If you liked "Silence of the Lambs" and "Red Dragon," you will find "Hannibal" to be a fitting end for the series.

This stars Anthony Hopkins who reprises his role as Hannibal lector. He comes out of hiding to draw an FBI agent into battle. A decent sequel which features a grisly ending, worth a rent or two.

The first movie (Manhunter) was interesting, but the guy who plays Hannibal today is the best guy for the part. The first guy did not have the flair that Anthony Hopkins did. I am glad they changed him. As far as the last one in the packet, "Hannibal" it was fabulous (although I had seen it before, my boyfriend did not see it). Thanks for putting all three movies together, the price was about $40.00 cheaper than getting all three movies. Thanks again.

I purchased this item in my persistent attempt to acquire a version of Manhunter that completely restored all the edits that had been made over the years. This ain't it. Get the Divimax version; it has them all back where they belong. I have not played the other two disks in this collection, as I already have Silence of the Lambs and have little interest in Hannibal or Hopkins version of him.
I find it curious that Manhunter and Blade Runner suffered so much from rampant editing of excellent products.
