What a impressive film. Has anybody else seen this? I went with the wife last night, and wow... extremely well done. I was afraid it was going to be pretty shoddily thrown together, but boy was I wrong.

The kid who played Hannibal was just down right wicked at times. The plot was excellent, even if a little morbid. A must see if you are a fan of the first two.

A solid A+ in my book. I won't go into a ton of detail to spoil any of it, but it was a very impressive ride. Not an Action flick, mind you, but drama thru and thru... and I loved every minute of it!

I was dissapointed as this Hannibal was just a twisted and brutal murderer. I wish they would have gone into the psychological realm a lot more and had more dialogue between him and the police officer. Those scenes were the best in the movie. Yeah, I know his technique and motives are refined through time but I saw this main charactor morphing into the villain in Saw rather than the Hannibal in SOTL.

I loved reading all of Harris's books. Hannibal was a POS IMHO. I'm go a see Hannibal Rising but I'm not going to visit this thread again because I like to be not conditioned by opinions and facts giving the movie plot away.

But that's how it all started! REVENGE!

I can see your point, but I actually think the movie was so much deeper than just that. It was extremely psychological, as it shows his progression into who he became. He was a cannibal. Hannibal loves to eat flesh and brains. How could this guy's childhood be any different?

As I said again, I was throughly impressed.
