Manhunter and Silence of the Lambs are great thrillers. When you go and see Hannibal forget them, because you are going to a horror film. The violence is shown raw and in detail (remember not to buy any popcorn). Acting is great Hopkins is again a great Hannibal, but director Ridley Scott didn't make him as attractive as Demme did. Jullianne Moore is a great Clarice, as much as I loved Jodie Foster I didn't miss her. I even think that for this movie Moore is a better choice. And I also thought the actor who played the Italian inspector was great. But I don't think much of the story, and the ending was disappointing. And as the realistic violence is not my cup of tea I voted 6.
