I saw the movie, and it's worthy of a topic I feel. Anthony Hopkins and Julianne Moore replacing Jodie Foster are back for part deux.

My first thought heading in to the Gateway Theater in Austin to see Hannibal was that Julianne Moore was no Jodie Foster.
She proved me wrong, sterling perfomance as Clarice Starling, the FBI agent chasing Anthony Hopkins Hannibal Lecter.
I already know what Mike's going to say, why didn't they pick Ashley Judd? But Julianne does a great job, even though she's a bit old for the part.
Anthony Hopkinds is of course stellar. The movie really brings out the goodness in Hannibal, and that he's not just a deranged killer but that his killings elminate evil forces. An idea that takes some getting used to but that was partly developed in Silence of the Lambs.

And I completely missed out on Gary Oldman and Val Kilmer. They were in the movie in major roles but I was fooled. I had no idea they were in the movie till the final credits rolled and I thought "What?" to myself. Oldman played the guy with the eaten up face but how he fit under that mask I have no idea, there wasn't much room left.

as you did, i learned it was oldman during the credits but i don't know how they did that to him. who was val kilmer playing?
i enjoyed this film because i love anthony hopkins and he plays hannibal so well, so charmingly well. and i think that's the main reason i enjoyed this film. critics have been harsh, but it's bringing in the big bucks. ticket sales do not indicate the value of a film but it is bringing them in.

I'm not sure who Val Kilmer played. Without doing a "spoiler"; I'd have to they they left the door open for another sequel, and I would hope they would stick with this leading lady. I can't imagine this movie is the last chapter.

Even if they had picked Ashley Judd I wouldn't have gone to see it :) I don't do gore.

I'm with you, Mike--I wouldn't see it if it starred John Cusack.

It's actually not as gory as you might think. And Hannibal isn't as sinister as you might think. Hannibal jokes are rampant on late night talk tv.

I'm really not in to gore at all, though. I'm becoming squeamish in my old age, I think :-)

Yeah, there were some theaters in Texas that announced before the movie that moviegoers should use their popcorn bags if they started feeling a bit sick.

urgggh...that's gross. I really can't understand why people would want to go and see that stuff. I guess it takes all sorts... :-)

wait a sec, i don't do gore and Hannibal wasn't gore at all. yeah, there were some really sick parts but they weren't gory, like vampire flicks or chainsaw massacres....they weren't gratuitous at all.
