I had this movie on DVD for years and just had to get it on blu ray. Anthony Hopkins is on of the best when it comes to playing Hannibal Letcher. The man is crazy. You must see Silence of the Lamb first.

Silence of the lambs was one of those rare films that was perfect all the way around. perfect adaption from the Thomas Harris novel, perfect direction, perfect action (especially Hopkins and Foster) and is still regarded as one of the best psychological horror films ever made. when Harris followed up his best seller with a sequel entitled Hannibal, it was a much more darker and graphic book with a downbeat unbelievable ending. having read the book which was awesome, the movie, while not bad, left out more of the more gut wrenching (pun intended) scenes and a subplot which i felt was important. also left out was out to not anger the movie audience. Jodie Foster declined to come back having been told the books ending was going to be in the movie citing it was not something Starling would ever do. while hopkins is still great as lector, Julianne Moore is not Clairece Starling. Ridley Scott did do the best he could but it just wasnt quite good enough. had the studio had more balls and went full on book, it would of been a much more powerful and disturbing film. 4 stars since its descent but not the original.

Hannibal receives a proper blu ray release

Hannibal finally gets a proper blu ray courtesy of KL. Most of the special features that were featured on the original DVD release are here. One thing I wish Ridley Scott would have done was edit most of the deleted scenes back into the film. Still I cannot complain too much. I am thankful we received this classic on blu ray at all.

Good Sequel but won't top the first

Definitely wanted to see the sequel; not as good as Silence of the Lambs. As much as I am a fan of both actresses, it was difficult to accept Julianne Moore as Clarise after Jodie Foster's performance. Definitely worth the watch for a price of a rental.

So you say you're in the mood for a really unnerving couple of hours. You want the hairs on your neck to stand up. You want to see something that would make a cesspool puke! Congratulations! You just hit the jackpot!

As a sequel to Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal does not quite hold up. However, if you can take it for its own merits, it's an intriguing film that, while not amazing, is more than worth your time.

My review is about the Blu-ray, which has a great transfer, but lacks in any real supplements. Love the film, just wish there would have been more extras.

Would've preferred blu-ray had special features like the DVD package did, but nonetheless its merely an upgrade of version.

I probably shouldn't have gotten this movie overall because it will never top Silence of the Lambs. Hopkins though is still perfect as well as Gary Oldham. But I forgot how flat the overall story is in the long term of matters. Ridley Scott is hit or miss a lot of the times but with Jodie Foster not even reprising the role it kind of takes the punch out of the film. Get at your own risk really.

A pretty solid sequel. Falls into the classic "not as good as the book" catigory, but still very good. Wish they ported over all the special from the original DVD though.

I've always loved Silence of the Lambs, but only recently has Hannibal grown on me.
