Hannibal Rising

I was thinking if I should come up with some pun for the title, then I realized that would make me just as bad as the script writers for this movie.

Make no mistake about it, this movie was mediocre. In fact, at certain parts, it was just plain cringe worthy.



Sure, she's pretty hot, but was that really a valid excuse to try and squeeze her into the movie? Her English was bad (though slightly improved from her Miami Vice days) to that point of making me cringe in my seat (that and the glorious amount of violence in the movie). Her inclusion in the movie as Hannibal's aunt and lover (wait.. isn't that incest?) just doesn't really make much sense other then to use her star power in hopes of more box office earnings.

The dialog in the movie was another gripe. It looked like it was written by some 'O' level student for his English essay, not for some movie.

Some particular ones that I found amusing were

"...there is only one word to describe him - Monster."

So many words in the English language and he chose monster.. *faints*

"...love is like a knife. It can hurt you."

That, is a truly horrible analogy. How is love like a knife? *sighs*

The other thing was how the hell everyone in Europe, from Russia to France, actually speaks English (admittedly with their distinct accents)

The redeeming factor of the show would probably be the main actor who player Hannibal Lector. He got that crazy smile and look down pat.
