This should have been really good



what with the talent involved....sir ridley scott, imo one of the great directors...writers david mamet and steven zaillian...and anthony hopkns back as hannibal lecter as well as gary oldman...i dont know how it went wrong....

thats the most dissapointing thing about the movie, the amount of really talented people who worked on it but ended up producing something very average

Sounds really bad but it went wrong because Juliann moore is in it.
Should have re-used Jodie because she was amazing!!

I cant actually stand Juliann - she is the miserable, moodiest actress i have ever seen.
Every film she comes in she plays herself - why why why?

I watched Hannibal once & she destroyed Clarice - I like the film except for her - Clarice was a big headed egotistical bitch like her.
Eurgh just cant stand her

i really really cant believe so many people love this stupid garbage,

they just must be Ridley Scott super fans or just fans of Thomas Harris...
i just cant believe any other reason why people would lower their standards and defend this mediocre terrible mess.

You really don't know what you're talking about Jack, this really is a first rate movie. Tell me though, were there some particular elements you had trouble with? What rubbed you the wrong way? If nothing else I suggest trying it again when you're older and wiser, then you may begin to realize that the movie lacked nothing, it was only your mind and preconceptions and vision that were cluttered and distorted.
