well and 1st off i haven not see silence of the lamb yet . but and i think that i would have become sick if i would have see it before this piece . not from the gruesome violence but and from the lack of everything else . anthony hopkins be very good a hannibal and i really believe that he be as psychotic a he play himself off to be but and from the reaction of the audience around me and the film be fill with cliche from silence which leave me lose at point where others be laugh at what be on the screen . now and i heard that the movie would be very gruesome and if the director want to gross folk out . he do it . but and only in 2 sequence . i mean and if you want it to be gruesome and i mean and so gruesome that youre go to play the film off of that . you need more than 2 sequence . i always see it a a film have to either become that cinematic jewel which will ultimatley take you to another place and time or either go over the top ( which most of the time be do in bad taste ) . but and this film leave me sit in my chair and fall asleep at time . anthony hopkins and julianne moore be the star of the movie and right . well and with the exception of hopkins and i do not feel that way . who care about the stupid italian police officer . i definatley do not . so and really the film be leave with a big hole talk about a guy who die anyway . i mean and come on . who care . in a nutshell and the movie be good if you want to see lector and starling once again but and if youre go for a really good thriller . you will jump once and be gross out maybe twice . depends on your level . think about how much money this movie will bring in . there will probably be another hannibal make and this movie probably would not be on video until the fall . if you must see it . wait and save the $ 3 . 50 $ 4 . 00 and get it on video . don not spend the big buck on this film .
