Hannibal Rising, 2007

This movie isn't as bad as you've heard. Sure, it's different from the other Hannibal films (which, in turn, are all quite different from one another), but what were we expecting? A kid jumping down elevator shafts, biting people's necks open? C'mon, it was never gonna be that movie. This is an ORIGIN story, and as such, it is paced differently with a different set of criteria. For what it is, 'Hannibal Rising' works just fine. But it stops at 'just fine'. It's not a great film by any standard. How could it be? You can't explain how a character like Hannibal came to be because his existence is so very unlikely. But for the 'hard core' out there, there are some gruesome and quite violent scenes, just not on a par with the other films. If you liked the previous ones, this one at least deserves a chance.
