Wow! I dragged my mother, kicking and screaming, to see Hannibal and we both loved it. Anthony Hopkins was, of course, terrifying and mesmerizing at the same time and Juliette Moore was a better Starling than that woman who played in the first movie was.
The story was changed and large chunks of the 'background' information were removed. I wasn't surprised about that though - the movie would have to be 6 hours long if you wanted the entire novel shown. Those who haven't read the book will enjoy it; those who have will enjoy it as well, however, (can't give to much away here) be aware the ending isn't the same.
Scary? Very. Gory? Yes, but it wasn't 'Freddy part Umpteenth'.
Good movie, but it's not for the squeamish. (You already knew that though, didn't you?)
