So its just a glorified follow up on hannibal. should see that coming. but man, nothing happends. some gore here, some disgust there. and oh look at how smart and interesting hannibal is. its just alsmost cringe. 4/10: nope for me

No, I can not approve this film with such a good actor as Anthony Hopkins and the rest of the cast including the good Italian ones: Francesca Neri and Giancarlo Giannini. Unfortunately the film is light years far away from the first excellent one: The Silence of Lambs. The thrilling effect has been substituted by a disgusting and vomiting brain eater scene and some other pigs "corrida" which brings the whole film to a very low level. It looks like this serial was mainly a commercial experiment without any real interest in trying to match the level of the previous one. Rating. 3/10

This sequel is not a patch on Silence of the Lambs. The plot meanders along without really building up much tension and as a viewer I felt totally ambivalent about what happened to Lecter or Starling - I didn't care about either of them. What a wise choice Jodie Foster made to not be involved in this one. It could have been much better if it had a decent storyline instead of 3 sub-plots masquerading as one!!! The ending is also predictably unsatisfying. All in all not worth watching except for Ray Liotta eating his own brain - I suppose that at least in terms of gore this was a memorable scene.

One of the worst theatrical movies of the year, if not all time. Anthony Hopkins belittles himself by even appearing in this joke. I can't believe David Mamet and Ridley Scott's name appear on this travesty. The best career move Jody Foster ever made was turning this one down. Julianne Moore was as emotionless throughout as a female Keanu Reeves. Gary Oldman was of course, his brilliant self. He is a crippled victim of Hannibal and the make-up is so good, I didn't know it was Gary until the final credits. but eaten by trained boars??? Give me a break! Rumor has it that he didn't want his name even mentioned in the credits. And frying and feeding his own brain to Ray Liotta...I was laughing at the absurdity, no make that stupidity of this flick at this point. I haven't seen so many people walk out of a movie since Who's That Girl. Pay someone else to go for you if you must, but miss this one AT ALL COST!!!

The first 2/3 of the movie weren't particularly great but they hade strong moments. The tension and acting for example were very good. Also the locations and overall appearance. Hannibal relies a bit too much on nausea and gore this time. Sometimes less is more. But anyways, until this point most of the movie works for me. And then there comes the last third. Oh my god! It alone makes Hannibal the worst chapter in the series. It's full of stupid decisions, delivers an implausible outcome, and it even feels rushed. Nope. The ending ruined everything that could have been an otherwise decent movie.
