Well before i say anything i just wanna say that there are eventually gonna be SPOILERS so people that are yet to see this film should not continue reading.
Here is my list:
LIKES
The Maison Virgil character. Spooky, weird and at times funny. The sound effects. Ex: Pazzi taking drags of his cigarettes, when thinking of calling for the reward he rattles with the coins in his hands, the clock at the end etc. The connection with Silence of Lambs. The conversations Clarice listens to, then the whole Hannibal - Clarice relationship. There was one part when Hannibal and Pazzi talk and Hannibal is standing exactly like he was in jail in S of L's. I dont know if u noticed. The brain scene. Shows the madness of Hannibal. I also like the fact that he fed it to Paul i dont know, it made me have this strange feeling. The ending. Excellent as we yet again see Hannibal is smarter then the stupid cops. The last sentences 'my mother always used to tell me to try new things' is a greta conclusion.


DISLIKES
We clearly see that Hopkins put greater effort with the first movie rather then the second but still gives a very strong impresion. The fact that he kisses Clarice by the end. Why the hell did he do that? For me it disturbes the connection they have. He kills to many people. For me Hannibal is supposed to be a very slow killer. He kills the boy that is supposed to get his fingerprints, Pazzi, then another italian dude by slicing his wrists and Paul eventually. For Hannibal Lecter its too much for one movie. Not that i didnt like the deaths but still. He should of stuck to Pazzi and Paul.


What also botherd me at the beginning is that Dr. Lecter is not supposed to have any victims left alive and yet here we have Maison Virgil. Then i thought that he left him alive on purpose so he could suffer the torture of looking like he does. I dont know.

Questions:
-How does Clarice get her hair out of the fridge?
-Whose house was it that the three feasted on the one's brain? Clarices or Pauls? It is a stupid quesiton but i jsut want to know.
-Is the legend of Dr. Lecter a true story?

Give me all your thoughts about my post.
Hannibal 2? I dont like the idea simply coz i think if they put more stuff in they will over-do it and the figure of Hannibal Lecter would be lost.

The house is Paul's, Lecter knows that its not used often so he goes to hide there. He brings Clarice there after she gets shot in the barn and he removes the bullet there. Paul just happens to show up, I'm not sure why exactly he does but you know that it is his vacation house from the phone conversation he has on the way there.

Hannibal is supposed to have living victims, it is mentioned several times in the books and is talked about in Manhunter.
