Review of Hannibal Rising (2007) by Anmol R — 12 Oct 2011
I was astonished to see it both in positive and negative sense. The movie tells the story of young Hannibal and how he turned into a monster. Its pretty fine. Gaspard is too good playing young Hannibal as per the script demands.
But the script is very disappointing for me. They have turned it into a slasher flick. As far as the character and the theme of the series goes, Hannibal should have been shown more with creepiness rather than his hands filled with blood.
It might be great for all the gore lovers but not for me. I was expecting much more. It clearly misguides about the character of Hannibal. They forgot that there was a reason why the character was screened so less without revealing much about his crimes and just giving a nature of his deeds.
The mystery of his character was not meant to be solved and not at all in this way. It turns out to be just a gush of blood without the charm. Not for fans of Hannibal. Others can have a look. Its not at all mature like others in series.
