Hannibal: The Mistake

I've been against since the beginning but I couldn't refuse and resist "the invitation" (if you know hat I mean;) ) for "Hanibal: The Rising". Well, it was much more Rising than Hannibal. Let's see:


Compared to the aboriginal movies "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Hannibal" it is completely STUPID and ABSURD movie full of demented dialogs ("We eat or we die"). These things (and many more) converted the movie into a piece of another shitty movie. The original Hannibal Lecter as a character presented by Anthony Hopkins had a "soul", he would persuade the victim to offer him a piece of it's own flesh on his own will, but not the present Hannibal-punisher, who's got a long way ahead to original Hannibal's practises.

I felt like I'm watching a movie made for current public and trying to show Hannibal more comprehensible = movie based on nauseousness and cold violence. "The Hostel" lovers, your time has come.

+ I didn't understand one scene:
The one in which the Hannibal-to-come is putting the green mask on his head (which became the attribute for his character lately). If I remember properly, he had worn this mask only few times in "The Silence of the Lambs" and it was used to avoid him to bite the servants. "The Silence of the Lambs" is pretty good movie and the best way how to show (and remember) Hannibal as the monster was thru this scene with mask. But the Hannibal as a character has no attachment to this mask at all so I didn't get the point why did they put this into The Rising. It's a crap.



+ the final explosion of a boat, shitloads of stupid dialogs and dumb people in cinema and one would regret that he's on "The week-off alcohol" week :P
