Hannibal: Hannibal Lecter
built 130 days ago
Hannibal is missing the tension in the original. The urgency here is much less. It feels as if the reason Harris wrote the novel was to appease fans instead of telling a story. This time around, Sterling just does not seem to have the same dimension to her character. If there were a contest of wills between her and Lecter, she would easily lose. It is more than the fact that her railroading is breaking her spirit.

Hannibal first came to the public eye when, with Gary Gygax, he co-founded TSR and brought role-playing games to the masses. Gygax and Lecter attended university together, where Lecter was studying his Doctorate and Gygax was drinking lots of beer. Algor was still working on his plan to use International Sorting Pigeons(ISPs) to store porn and Harry Potter fanfic, and so there was very little for a couple of nerds to do.

Clarice Starling (Julianne Moore) is now famous for her work with Hannibal "the Cannibal" Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), the notorious killer who has since escaped to Venice. After a bloody drug bust resulted in a mother being shot while holding her child, Starling is tormented by her co-workers and various other people. Meanwhile, Mason Verger (Gary Oldman) is hunting down Lecter in hopes for revenge. Verger is the only victim to have encountered Hannibal and survive, but he's horribly disfigured from the experience and has become obsessed with Lecter. While all of this is happening, Lecter is living the good life in Venice, becoming a very respectable yet creepy fellow. Things become complicated though when Inspector Pazzi (Giancarlo Giannini) finds out who he really is. Verger tells Starling that he may know where the great cannibal is and this sets things into motion.
