Hannibal (2001)

Living in exile, Hannibal Lecter tries to reconnect with now disgraced FBI agent Clarice Starling and finds himself a target for revenge from a powerful victim.

One of the more accurate taglines^ I've seen. I'd say adapting a book that was basically a piss-take directed at Clarice/Hannibal shippers was a bad idea. I'd say it was an even bigger bad idea to go ahead without Jodie Foster as Clarice. I'd say it was a triple bad idea to waste Gary Oldman as an Austin Powers villain who's grand scheme is to train pigs to eat Hannibal. I'd say it was a quadruple bad idea to have a scene with a guy eating his own CGI brain. And finally, I'd say it was a quadruple-dog bad idea to turn Hannibal Lecter into an anti-hero.

The Italy subplot feels like a giallo, given the detective and setting. And Oldman is always good. That's about all the nice things I can say.

You really hate this movie

I think I bought this forever ago before I realized they replaced Jodie Foster. She basically MADE Silence for me, so that pretty much has me totally put off already. Especially since, while I haven't seen her Clarice, Julianne is kinda distractingly not Jodie. I am also a bit worried about this overexposing Hannibal's character, and, well, him taking on the MAIN role in general (RE: the damn title)

Missed out on Robin Hood and Exodus, but from what I've seen, it's Ridley Scott's worst movie. That's including Prometheus.

Main character, everyone he kills is an asshole and he's generally justified, will they/wont they relationship with Clarice, etc. He makes sequel Jigsaw look like original Jigsaw.

D'awww. Does the lovable heroine get the mysterious yet (supposedly, somehow, in some twisted fucked up way) sexy bad boy in the end?
:chanel5:

That sounds fucking horrific. And... killer dogs? THIS is the one Bryan Fuller is adapting? I expected better.

So, looked up why Foster wouldn't return. Apparently she, like most people (including fucking Ridley Scott himself, who apparently tried to get the ending at least somewhat changed) hated the idea of Clarice/Hannibal becoming serious lovers/romantic interests

They should have listened :giveup:
