While not as good as the first, Hannibal was definitely a very interesting movie. It was very well shot and contained many interesting subplots. The film doesnt suffer much from the lack of Jodie Foster as Julianne Moore does a good job as portraying Clarice Starling 10 years later. While the film has its share of creepy and definitely memorable moments, it unfortunately may be remembered more for its outrageous and sometimes disgusting gore than anything. Guttings, a person tearing their own face off, throat slashings, ravenous pigs, and even a person's brain being eaten are some of the highlights of this movie. I think this film has been unfairly panned by many people. Its major downfall is how people compare it to Silence of the Lambs rather than on its own as an individual movie. I'd give this movie 7.5 out of 10, worth seeing for fans of the original, anyone who likes horror movies, or anyone else who is curious or wants to see this movie. However this is NOT for people who cant tolerate gore or nasty stuff
