Hannibal

Hannibal is fun to watch just because of one actor, Anthony Hopkins. There are some roles that become pinnacle roles for actors throughout their career. Ray Liotta will always be remembered as Henry Hill in Goodfellas, Sean Connery will always be remembered as James Bond and many more examples. Anthony Hopkins will always be remembered as Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter. If anything you may just watch this movie specifically for his acting and how uncomfortable he makes you feel during the whole film. It is always fun to watch when you can actually be done watching a movie and you can actually have a part of his acting stick with you once the movie is already over, but that enough is not enough to make me really like the Ridley Scott's Hannibal.

Yes, Anthony Hopkins is the main star of the whole film but that is all it really boils down to. When you go and watch these types of movies, you want to see a big majority of Hannibal Lecter, that is what you pay your ticket for. Throughout the movie he doesn't make much of an appearance until later, we got a short catch up of some characters to get the exposition going but there's no Hannibal. Ridley Scott does a good job with using iconic camera shots when it introduces some characters in the movie that give you a general feel for what that character might be like. The dialogue almost seemed very corny at times with some of Hannibal Lecter's actually being about eating people, he makes it subtle in the movie but it almost seems like when he is talking to some people he just says, "Hey, if you listen really closely to my dialogue I actually eat people and throw a couple puns in from time to time." The camera work definitely adds to the movie, it uses a lot of shaky type camera shots during violent scenes to add a little more ominous feeling. Overall I give this movie a 5/10. It is directed by Ridley Scott and Stars Anthony Hopkins, Julianne Moore, Ray Liotta, and Gary Oldman.
