Guten Abend Mein Herrin,
I don't write spoilers. This is a very good movie, & a fine member of the SotL storyline. Really a nice expansion on the plot. One problem: Julianne Moore. I've nothing against her, but feel she let this film down badly. She simply didn't "Bring it." I thought Foster was snubbed for this role when it was released. In order to have the money to pay for Hopkins. I was wrong. She took a pass on it. IMHO, Ms.Moore barely acted @all in this. An unemotional Poker Face through most of the film. You get little or no sense of her turmoil, motivation, or pain. Looks like this is the last in the series, a fine job.

Ten years have passed since Dr. Hannibal Lecter escaped from custody, ten years since FBI Agent Agent Clarice Starling interviewed him in a maximum security hospital for the criminally insane. The doctor is now at large in Europe, pursuing his own interests and savoring the scents and essences of an unguarded world. But Starling has never forgotten her encounters with Dr. Lecter, and the metallic rasp of his seldom-used voice still haunts her dreams. But Mason Verger remembers Dr. Lecter, too, and is obsessed with revenge. Verger was Dr. Lecter's sixth victim, and though hideously disfigured, has survived to rule a vast financial empire. What a great movie. Excellent story line and brillantly acted by Anthony Hopkins and Julianne Moore. Intriguing and very creepy.

Doesn't Disappoint!!

It's so different from its predecessor Silence of the Lambs, yet it is equally engrossing. It's dark comedy driven by suspense, and it delves into the love story between good and evil. I can't speak highly enough about how thrilling this is to watch!

"This Film Floors You!"
Added 10/7/2009
I recently watched "Hannibal" again and I realized I forgot how good a film this is. Directed by Ridley Scott (most famous for "Thelma and Louise") "Hannibal" stars Anthony Hopkins in the role that made him a household name. As Hannibal Lecter Mr. Hopkins is sophisticated, articulate, and most of all terrifying in his attempt to keep the FBI from recapturing him after escaping police custody in "The Silence of The Lambs". I'm not a fan of sequels but this movie works. With an excellent script "Hannibal" is one of those cinematic masterpieces both in story content and look. A lot of the film was shot in Europe and the background adds to the mood of the film. Julianne Moore replaces Jodie Foster in the Clarice Starling role and it is evident, but according to reports Foster couldn't be persuaded to return. Five minutes into the film, however, you forget a different actress is playing one of the biggest parts which is a testimony to the wonderful actress Moore is. "Hannibal" was also a boxoffice smash grossing over $350,000,000. This exquisite two disc set features an array of bonus features that will pleasure the most ardent Hannibal fan. Included is an alternate ending, commentary by Scott, over 35 minutes of deleted scenes, a great featurette on the making of the movie, TV Spots, and more. "Time" magazine calls "Hannibal"..."Thilling". There are also two prequels to "The Silence of The Lambs", the first of which is called "The Red Dragon" that recounts the story of how Lecter was originally captured and there is "Hannibal Rising" that documents Hannibal at a young age and how he became a monster. Both films are worth purchasing.
