The near-impossible taks and insurmountable problems have been handled by Scott in a proficient if unexciting way. Aware that he can't possibly meet viewers' expectations, Scott has made a different film, more florid, baroque, and tongue-in-cheek.

Scott's elegant, shadowy atmosphere and deliberate pacing make the film a delightfully spooky experience.

There are moments of a good movie buried amongst this over the top thriller. But these moments are all too rare.

Doesn't work as its own individual, self-contained cinematic entity.

Simply a fat slab of sadism.

Thoroughly distasteful. Not for kids.

Hopkins, who is electrifying in almost anything he does, reprises the mastery he brought to Silence of the Lambs. Even in a movie as patchworky as this, he's always compelling.

Hannibal Lecter is the ostensible cannibal of this franchise, but the real cannibals are his creators. I wouldn't be surprised if the next time, they have him endorsing his favorite Chianti.

A dark and complexly entertaining ride, highly generous to multiple viewings.

Hannibal definitely grabs at the emotions, but not the one it's after. You come in hoping to have the wits scared out of you and leave with your temper barely in check.

It is not bad on its own terms, and it is certainly engrossing, but it comes nowhere near the power and sordid glory of the original.

The weight-watchers script sensibly dispenses with several characters to serve a brew that's enjoyably spicy but low on substance.
