I had awaited the arrival of Hannibal on DVD ever sense I had read Thomas Harris's sequal to Silence of the Lambs. If you plan on seeing this flim, I recomend seeing Silence of the Lambs first, and if you liked the movie, read the book Hannibal. You'll be surprised, because Harris had a different ending.The DVD is packed with an entire second disc that is filled with extras worth watching, the movie is great (but not as great as the Silence of the Lambs), and consider it worth your time and money. That is, if you like movies that will make you think, and not be able to sleep for a week.
