I have to say, I anticipated a much better movie. Things were left out as always when a book is adapated for the silver screen, but there were things that were completely changed from the storyline. I’ve long been frustrated with movies that have done this, and this was no exception. Truthfully, I had expected this movie to be on par with Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal, but Hannibal Rising wasn’t even close to the same quality. I’d watch it again, perhaps as part of a Hannibal Lecter movie marathon, but I certainly won’t spend the money to purchase it or rent it again.

I’d give this 2 out of 5 stars.
