Customer Reviews

HANNIBAL, where are the elephants?

Two elements are missing right off - Victor Mature and the elephants. Annibale (1960) aka Hannibal (1960) (USA) As they say in the Alps, "It is all downhill from here." Now available. Not being too enamored with the book, the movie could not disappoint me. A few characters were combined, and some plot nuances were glossed over; the ending varied from the book. However, the entire feeling was still there. I felt that they were using a lot of visual filters and, once in a while, showing extra scenery for the atmosphere. On the plus side, Julianne Moore fits the part of the tasty Clarice Starling. And you could not make the movie without Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter. See Anthony Hopkins again in "84 Charing Cross Road", where he looks across the table and says, “Very nice, very tasty." The film "84 Charing Cross Road" was exceptionally good, and so was the adaptation from the novel to film. This film, Hannibal (2001), is not just about a man-eating various people, like many critics have written, but it is more in-depth and complex about the relationship between a psychopathic physiologist and an F.B.I. agent. The film is about Hannibal Lecter, who is found to be living in Venice after he escaped the U.S., and Mason Verger, his fourth victim, is trying to get justice done by himself by catching Hannibal and making him suffer. I will not continue because I am afraid that I might give too much away, as the trailer did for this movie. All I have to say is that if you have not seen this movie, then you should definitely go see it, and I would like to praise Ridley Scott for making an even better film than Gladiator. If you have a strong stomach, you just HAVE to see this movie. If you do not, do not watch it.
