Movie Review: Really different...but really interesting,fun and gory.
Summary: 5 Stars
Yesterday I rented this movie at the local Blockbuster today I saw it I was expecting something good,really good and that is what I got OK you have seen the silence of the lambs then the sequel Hannibal did not gave you the information you needed to know but I am not judgeing that movie but it gave you the discovery of Mason Verger(Gary Oldman in Hannibal)and Hannibal(Anthony Hopkins in the silence of the lambs,Hannibal and red dragon and Gaspard Urriel in the feature film)being free the whole movie plus a romance with Clarce Starling(Jodie Foster in the silence of the lambs and Julliane Moore in Hannibal)so in 2002 we got a prequel to the silence of the lambs will it reveal how Hannibal began?the answer is...no it just reveals how Will Graham(Edward Norton in red dragon)caugth him and then no killing for our killer Hannibal the cannibal but still quite good so in 2007 we go deep into Hannibal's past the origin of evil so we sometimes start to feel Hannibal not being so evilhe had a rough start at 8 years when the war stared he saw her poor sister being eated do you think he will stay sane the movie is really different and the carachter does not feel like Hannibal it is like because i saw Rob Zombie's Halloween I feel Micheal Myers not beig so bad because he got bullied since he was a child he is misunderstood and so like that movie this movie has lots of details and the gory scences are just violent and well done Hannibal looks so cool when he licks of blood from his hand when he kills some victim.I actually prefer this to the silence of the lambs the movie is entretaining it gives good details of Hannibal's inside sadness and you get to know much of his familiar.Gaspard Uriell is better than Anthony Hopkins.Hannibal also got a very dramatic performance by Aaran Thomas as a 8 year old child that has a lot of courage against thos Nazis that where evil he is not the badguy they are and when Hannibl puts his mask he looks radical and awesome and we learn he actually was going to be a doctor because they call him Doctor Hannibal Lecter but he is just another kind of doctor this movie gives good suspense and over the top kills the movie is a good horror movie that has also alot of drama,action,thrills,suspense,romance,foreing,war,terror and mystery it has a good plot and it is completely written by Thomas Harris the screenplay is done by him the movie starts in happines but then it turns very dramatic,the war themes are big,the kills are thrilling,Hannibal has romance,his aunt is chinese,the movie is horryfieng,there is alot of detective activity,the action is like Hannibal escaping from the orphanage and the silence is kept the main genre is drama but the second is slasher so if you are a drama fan this movie is for you,if you are chinese there is alot of chinese activity the romantic scene is when Hannibal and his aunt kissing and the end may not be romantic but Hannibal's aunt says him to forgive them that feels romantic the movie is a good movie that has a 100,000% of re-watchibility with 100% value of drama,horror,mistery,slasher and war 50% of romance and even though it is rated R a 10% of family and if you get a gory scale from 1 to 5 it is 5% gory movie.Get it now it is totally good and gives you the legacy of Hannibal Lecter.
Summary of Hannibal Rising (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
(Horror/Suspense) The terrifying Silence of the Lambs prequel that reveals the history of the infamous Hannibal and how he came to be a cannibalistic murderer.Though Hannibal Rising's Lecter (Gaspard Ulliel) is a pussycat compared to Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs, this sequel's story of revenge is grizzly enough to satisfy lovers of Thomas Harris's epic tale. After young Hannibal (Aaron Thomas) is forced to watch his little sister, Mischa (Helena Lia Tachovska), devoured by starving soldiers in his homeland Lithuania, Hannibal vows to avenge his sister's death by slaying those who committed not only war crimes against the Lecters, but also against other families during WW II. In detailing Hannibal's revenge plan, the film investigates the psychological implications of witnessing cannibalism to justify Hannibal's insatiable appetite for human flesh. The most interesting aspect of Hannibal Rising-its analytical connections drawn between Hannibal's childhood traumas and his murderous adult obsessions-is also the film's weak point. The links oversimplify Lecter's complex character. For example, though titillating to see flashbacks of Lecter's sister hacked up and boiled while Lecter visits a Parisian meat market, the reference is too obvious. One learns why he excels in his medical school classes dissecting cadavers, and we're given explicit explanation for why he slices off and eats his victims' cheeks. The story only complicates when Hannibal interacts with his sexy Aunt, Lady Murasaki (Gong Li). When Murasaki educates him in the art of beheading, the viewer sees Hannibal's sword fetish as a manifestation of physical lust. --Trinie Dalton
