This show is good.
I just watched the midnight show.
My Review:
Gore scenes are a part in this film. As it has been a while since i watched something this gore, i totally enjoyed myself with the film. A nice storyline also.
Even my friends who were not so keen on watching but got dragged agreed that the film was great, albeit too much of gory scenes.
My Rating:
-
speaking english horrible gong li is.
-
Love it!
I love the scene where that man dies in the small pool of green water amidst the dead bodies, and Hannibal closes the doors of it, stands on one of the windows, and taps it, waving goodbye.
-
I have read almost all the books and watched the movies in the Hannibal series, so I suppose I should watch this one too, but then I'm a bit afraid of the expected gory scenes....like how his parents die, and how Misha his sister dies....
-
Silence of the Lambs is still a favourite.
It stood out among all because of the casting. -
Definitely!
The sequel with Julian Moore playing the Jodie Foster role....hmm...just didn't feel right.
