Review of Hannibal (2001) by Lianna E — 10 Oct 2011
I kind of despised this movie because they murdered the script. Having read the book, I was very disappointed that Clarice didn't end up with Hannibal, that he had to cut off his HAND to get away, and that they just really butchered it.
The only thing I think I truly loved about it was the portrayal of Mason Verger by the inimitable Gary Oldman. The makeup effects were good and he was very much the villain in this one. Anthony Hopkins played his role to the best of his ability, considering the shit that he was given to work with.
Julianne Moore was an okay Clarice, but definitely no Jodie Foster. All in all, this movie kind of fell flat for me. I'll stick to the book version thank you!
