Hannibal Reviews
Gruesome in the extreme.
I understand that the book deals with WHY Dr Lector a brilliant, incisive, and no doubt at one time a kind and gentle man and physician went so insane so as to crave human flesh.
This could no doubt been a wonderfull base to build on but instead this movie ended up being a grossfest with Hannibal convincing the other bad guy at one time to cut his face off as a punishment for his crimes against children, slicing open a Italian detective and pushing him on a type of closeline out to hang over the city like Judas hung from the tree after his betrayal. And the raison d etre, drugging Ray Liotta, cutting open his skull and slowly slicing parts of his brain off, sauting them in a pan and then feeding them to the soon to be lobotomized crooked cop, who in his stupor thinks its delicious.
Yuck. Fooey.
A BITTER TASTE
For all his cannibalism, ol' Hannibal leaves nothing but the bitter taste of a dissapointing movie in the mouths of the general public. His worst crime is the distinct lack of suspense in the film. Hannibal behind bars, left the viewer with only their imaginations to contemplate the horror he was capable of; but now that he seems to swan around Florence unabaited - he doesnt seem that scary after all.Ridley wants us, it would seem, to be amused by the good doctors gory antics, but the joke's on Mr Scott by the film's final 'infamous' scene where Hannibal's true horror is met by giggling in the cinema - at least that was how it was met at the session I saw. One can understand why Jodie Foster did a 'runner' after she read the script, and it's a pity Anthony Hopkins couldn't contain his appetite for another couple of million bucks. As 'Hannibal' draws the Harris trilogy to a conclusion, the three course meal dissappoints with this final rather sickly dessert- that somehow spoils the main meal that was Silence Of The Lambs.
