Hannibal Rising

[Admiral Huddy]

My wife and I had a rare visit to the cinema on Friday. Thought we'd get a night out to ourselves before Cadet arrives.

Although the film sounds like a Middle earth fetish scene, I have to say it's bloody awesome. I didn't receive such good reviews but these chaps must be either sleep or dead already.

Had me at the edge of my seat. What made the film better was the girl sitting next to me, cross legged with 5" high heels pointing towards me. She then kicked them off half way through the film.. I could help but drool :)

Anyway, i thought the opening WWII scenes were cool and Helena Lia Tachovska played an excellant role.

Go and see before I have you for dinner :p

OMG, watched this last night and all I could think was "why?"

I thought the whole thing was utter crap, it tried to explain a backstory just for the sake of it, the acting was awful and the story was rubbish. It just seems as though Thomas Harris is dragging the Hannibal thing out as much as he can.

Terrible. Zero stars.

I read the book, then went to see the film. I've read all previous books in the series, and read this one last, and couldn't see much difference in the way of writing.

The film was okay, but I didn't like the French guy who played Hannibal, and obviously there was a lot of feeling taken from the book that made Hannibal more sinister than he was portrayed in the film.

Over all I enjoyed it as a supplement to the book, but if I saw it as a stand-alone film, I'd have probably been a bit disappointed.

Really, you didn't enjoy the opening WW2 scenes?

Not especially. Maybe it's better on a big screen.

Maybe I was too focused on the girl sitting next to me :D

Maybe I was too focused on the feet of the girl sitting next to me :D

Fixxored ;)
