Posted: 6/10/2007A review of Pan's Labyrinth by shootingstar2443

Posted: 6/7/2007A review of Hannibal Rising by shootingstar2443
This is a very good prequel and the good thing is is that it does not stray far from the book. I think the critics that rated this movie lack the knowledge that is inbetween the lines. I think the critics' general knowledge does not cover or understand WHAT Hannibal is....not just a cannibal. I think Hannibal is an off-shoot of Kristeva's (Murder in Byzantium) theories, abjection. I highly suggest this movie to all fans of Hannibal, it is not pointless and I think the critics need to understand the basis of the movie before making an uneducated 'slam' on the movie and book. Because I believe that Hannibal is an example of abjection and not very many people understand it, the book and movie weren't as big a hit as it should have been. This movie really adds to Hannibal!
