Hannibal Rising

Post by Tsukiyumi »

I finally got around to seeing this, and I really don't get why everyone trashed on it. The only reason I can think of is "Anthony Hopkins wasn't in it". I thought it was quite well done, and finally vindicates the stance I've had since Silence of the Lambs: Hannibal is the good guy.

Did no one else see this, or are you all just not fans of the franchise?

Havent seen this one but I've seen the other ones.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Everyone who liked the other ones should see this one. An explanation for his persona was warranted, IMO, and the one given was excellent.

I saw it... as I recall I thought it was pretty fair, but nothing special.
