| Synopsis:
Based on the best selling novel by Thomas Harris, ?Hannibal? continues the story begun in ?The Silence of the Lambs.? Seven years have passed since Dr. Hannibal Lecter escaped from custody, seven years since FBI Agent Clarice Starling interviewed him in a maximum-security hospital for the criminally insane. The doctor is now at large in Italy, pursuing his own interests, savoring the scents, the essences of the unguarded world. But Starling has never forgotten her encounters with Dr. Lecter ? his seldom-used voice still haunts her dreams. Mason Verger remembers Dr. Lecter as well, and is obsessed with revenge. Verger was Dr. Lecter?s sixth victim, and although hideously disfigured, he survived. In order to draw Dr. Lecter into the open, Verger uses Clarice Starling as bait. |

 The Silence of the lambs are way better than these sequels! September 9, 2010
criticalvirgo
When I first saw the Silence Of The Lambs at age 13, it was scary & disturbing and I loved it! but when I saw Hannibal it was a disappointment! The acting was good but the film itself to me was just a let down not as good as the 1st chapter. When there's a dinner scene with Hannibal & Agent Sterling with the brain from the Ray Liotta's character & even the ending inside the plane with a kid, it was straight disgusting! Saw this film once (samething with Red Dragon) and once is enough!
 Beautiful Steelbook Edition DVD; Wonderful Movie August 28, 2010
Denise McMillan
Although it took several weeks for "Hannibal" to arrive, the product was well worth the wait. This steelbook edition is lovely - a definite must-buy for Lecter fans. As for the movie itself, I enjoyed it very much. "Silence of the Lambs" will always be my favorite of the Lecter series, but "Hannibal" is a close second.
I found the plot to be rather slow-moving at first, but this was partly a good thing as it took me a little time to get adjusted to Julianne Moore's portrayal of Starling (which, although quite different from Jodi Foster's, was still well-suited to the character). Ridley Scott builds the suspense gradually and slowly, waiting for viewers to be silently begging for some real action before the plot takes off. Once it does, you will be at the edge of your seat until the credits roll. I found certain scenes in "Hannibal" to be almost more chilling than those in SOTL, and I am still reeling from the end. The acting, as to be expected, was no less than exceptional, especially in the case of Anthony Hopkins.
Both "Silence" and "Hannibal" are works of art, though in different categories. While "Silence" had an intense, gritty air, "Hannibal's" was graceful and smooth, although no less gruesome. Both tones work fantastically for their genre and I love both movies. If you liked "Silence of the Lambs" and "Red Dragon," you will find "Hannibal" to be a fitting end for the series.
 Sequel May 26, 2010
Joseph Adams (Superior, WI USA)
This stars Anthony Hopkins who reprises his role as Hannibal lector. He comes out of hiding to draw an FBI agent into battle. A decent sequel which features a grisly ending, worth a rent or two.
 Hannibal Collection May 25, 2010
Tinesha N. Conway (New York, NY)
The first movie (Manhunter) was interesting, but the guy who plays Hannibal today is the best guy for the part. The first guy did not have the flair that Anthony Hopkins did. I am glad they changed him. As far as the last one in the packet, "Hannibal" it was fabulous (although I had seen it before, my boyfriend did not see it). Thanks for putting all three movies together, the price was about $40.00 cheaper than getting all three movies. Thanks again.

Manhunter restoration March 11, 2010
Aaron Baker Cole
I purchased this item in my persistent attempt to acquire a version of Manhunter that completely restored all the edits that had been made over the years. This ain't it. Get the Divimax version; it has them all back where they belong. I have not played the other two disks in this collection, as I already have Silence of the Lambs and have little interest in Hannibal or Hopkins version of him.
I find it curious that Manhunter and Blade Runner suffered so much from rampant editing of excellent products.
