http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/06/01/Hannibal-Rising----Eat-This-Or-Not.aspx As an amateur chef and budding sociopath, I naturally gravitated to the character of Hannibal the Cannibal in 1986. With whom else could I argue the nuances of the finer points of pancreas vs. thalamus sweetbreads, whilst eviscerating the proletariat with my Spyderco? Alas, this love –- like a wine grape left too long on the vine –- withered away with each passing movie. Perhaps Michael Mann didn’t realize the Pandora’s box he was opening when he directed MANHUNTER. Perhaps Brian Cox and Anthony Hopkins thought they were just having a bit of fun as Hannibal Lecter. Or, maybe screenwriter Thomas Harris saw all that money rolling in and realized that recycling was the easiest and most profitable way to go (hey, if works for Michael Crichton it should work for anyone). This latest installment of the Lecter series purports to reveal the storied and near-mythical origins of the most charmingly evil flesh-ripper ever. I couldn’t wait for this movie to come out. I got goose bumps when I saw pre-release stills of the young Hannibal (the quite sexy Gaspard Ulliel). Male friends were equally drooling over his aunt, the Lady Murasaki (Gong Li –- last seen as the Ice Geisha in MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA). Then, the film hit screens and displeasure ensued. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/06/01/Hannibal-Rising----Eat-This-Or-Not.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/06/01/Hannibal-Rising----Eat-This-Or-Not.aspx#315 This guy is crazy.

Excellent acting and depth of character. I'm usually not one for prequels, but the story really did a good job of fleshing out the Hannibal Lecter; which made me want to re-watch Silences of the Lambs all the more. heatherreid http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/06/01/Hannibal-Rising----Eat-This-Or-Not.aspx#512 Wed, 06 Jun 2007 19:27:12 GMT http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/06/01/Hannibal-Rising----Eat-This-Or-Not.aspx#655 yes lisa sanville http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/06/01/Hannibal-Rising----Eat-This-Or-Not.aspx#655 Fri, 15 Jun 2007 02:13:21 GMT http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/06/01/Hannibal-Rising----Eat-This-Or-Not.aspx#866 I thought this movie was twiztidly diffrent from the others just because of the fact that its not a cop trying to catch a mudering canabal its the canabal's storie on why he did what he did i found that amazing along with the plot and storie line of the whole thing ±JoKeR± http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/06/01/Hannibal-Rising----Eat-This-Or-Not.aspx#866 Fri, 06 Jul 2007 13:07:56 GMT http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/06/01/Hannibal-Rising----Eat-This-Or-Not.aspx#867 Wowza!
