i completely understand why this movie be make . silence of the lamb be an incredible film a gruesome thriller with a superb story and high jump factor . what i do not understand be why this movie be make . and why anthony hopkins agree to reprise his role a hannibal the cannibal in this terrible and dissatisfying film . there no possible way to spoil the movie any further than go to see it could and but for those of you who prefer to waste your money and dont read on . the film be absolutely horrible . it so bad that the transition from jodie foster to julianne moore become a non issue . the only way to truly enjoy the film be to set your watch and leave the theatre exactly two hour into the film and because up until that point and it quite an interesting thriller . the reparte between moore and hopkins be comparable to hopkins and foster and and the performance by the other character be pretty good . but literally at the two hour mark and the film degrade into nothing but a cheesy d grade horror flick . it sick and and it stupid and almost like the crew run out of filming time and and throw together an end in one day of film . initial buzz over the thomas harris book unsatisfying and bizarre end lead director ridley scott to order a re write . and and honestly and have see the film and read the book finale and i do not know which be bad . please do not waste your money or time on this film and unless youre prepare to leave exactly at the two hour point and because that the only way you will feel satisfied about the saga of clarice starling and hannibal lecter . continue the mystery that make the first film and and the wait for this one and so great .
