Hannibal's back for a second helping.

The captivating serial killer is back still with the hots for Clarice Starling.

Definately don't eat during the film, Grotesque ending scenes.

Hannibal is the sequel to 1991's critically acclaimed "Silence of the Lambs" Clarice Starling is played by Julianne Moore in this film, You forget about Jodi Foster's Clarice in "Silence" but there are still similarity's one being Clarice's southerny accent.

Hannibal is more gruesome than "Silence" when it comes to its ending. but it is basically what happens 10 years (7 years in the movie?) after the ending of "Silence". I recommend seeing "Silence" before "Hannibal". "Silence" is still the classic in the series started in 1986 with "Manhunter".

Hannibal is Part Two of "Silence" where we find where Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lector is staying. but we are introduced in the beginning to his fourth and only surviving victim Mason Verger (Oldman with extreme make-up effects) a grotesque looking old man who wants revenge. Verger just looks hideous. I heard several people say "Ewww!" "Gross" and "Disgusting" during the film, we later see how Verger got the grotesque look. Ray Liotta plays a Justice Department agent working with Clarice (Moore) in finding Hannibal.

An Italian investigator (Giannini) has spotted Hannibal and tries to catch him disregarding Clarice's warnings of Hannibal's strength.

The truely gruesome scenes are near the end, and would cause some people to regurgitate (Throw up, spill their cookies) luckily I wasn't eating or drinking anything during the film.

The one setback to seeing this film in theaters is the immature audience, the one in the theater i went to were laughing at the disgusting stuff and laughing at Liotta's bad lines. This is a more serious film, and although Liotta's lines at the end are pretty bad, they still are not funny. 10/10 very good sequel to "Silence" except for the grotesque ending scenes.Anthony Hopkins does great acting as well as Oldman. 95%/100% A bit blurry during the film. Disruptive audience: 95% near the end of the film (for the audience at the theater I saw it at, would be 0% if it wasn't).
