Thomas Harris is a brilliant author crafting stories that captivate and entertain. His adaptation of his own book into the screenplay was a complete failure of epic proportions. Anthony Hopkins is thespian genius, using his lifelong craft of the act to fully-realized potential as he stepped into the role of Hannibal Lector. Gaspard Ulliel who took on the role of a young Hannibal for this movie was about as a good fit as a square peg in a round hole. He has the acting talents of a cast member from Laguna Beach. It was like watching a high school drama student try to open a Broadway show. Catastrophe would be a kind word to describe this movie.Directed by Peter Webber who’s only other movie to date is the forgettable "Girl with a Pearl Earring" let us down like we were watching the last episode of Seinfeld. Disappointing, uninspired, cheap, amateur, artist of suck. So you take bad acting and a weak director, mix in a poor-adapted screenplay and you get a crap cake.
