Hannibal (2001) DVD : "Hannibal" was a solid hit upon its release in February 2001, but, like the "Godfather III," it stood in the shadow of its more superior predecessor. When word got out that "Hannibal" was going to be filmed, expectations were high, and critics gave the movie no love, often comparing it unfairly to the far better "The Silence of the Lambs." But "Hannibal," as a film by itself, is a decent picture, and should be watched with an open mind, flaws and all. Julianne Moore gave a great performance as Clarice Starling, although Anthony Hopkins verged on camp during his revisited role as Hannibal Lecter. Some of the scenes were so outrageously graphic, it was often hard to take them seriously and realize the full horror of Lecter's actions. But for all its shortcomings, "Hannibal" the DVD is a worthy purchase because MGM gave this disc such a deluxe treatment. (Customer Review)
