Over twenty years after "Hannibal the Cannibal" made his film debut in Manhunter, the Dr. Lecter saga peters out with this misguided sequel. Full Review |

|
2/5 |
Un intento forzado por seguir explotando el personaje de Hannibal Lecter, vistosamente filmado y producido pero sin otra excusa argumental que intentar explicar lo inexplicable. Full Review |

There are some pretty sadistic torture scenes for the gore hounds -- but ultimately this pointless prequel is about as thrilling as a wet towel. Full Review |

The material knows it is a prequel, and acknowledges such with tactics that consist of taking viewers from beginning to end in the most straightforward way possible... Full Review |

Hannibal Rising isn't much more than appetizer. Full Review |
||
|
|
A ponderous, uninspired portrait of a serial-killer-in-the-making with Webber missing every opportunity to build suspense and deliver chills. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
Uma ótima fotografia em serviço de um roteiro ridículo que se torna ainda mais patético em função do péssimo protagonista.

An origins movie that follows the serial killer's early years. As you might expect, those years didn't involve much time in a sandbox, unless of course Hannibal's spade was used as an instrument of death. Full Review |

1.5/4 |
Each follow-up to The Silence of the Lambs makes further sense of that 1991 film's top five Oscar sweep. Let's hope Rising is the last; it's certainly the least. Full Review |

 3.5/5 |
The most terrifying movie of the new year. Full Review |

And now, the prequel Hannibal Rising, which answers several questions: Where did Hannibal come from? What made him what he is?... It does not, however, answer the better question: Who fricking cares? Full Review |

If Hannibal Rising catches fire, it may spark a new literary trend with Hollywood aspirations--i.e., when old monsters were kids Full Review |

Alas, in our current Oprah-fied, memoir-ridden, tell-all culture, even the great screen villains now suffer from dopey developmental traumas explaining away their misdeeds. Full Review |

"Memory is a knife," warns Murasaki, who lost family in Hiroshima. "It can hurt you." You can only hope the image of the doglike Hannibal, ripping at a victim's cheeks, fades soon. Full Review |

1/5 |
Gone is the nuance, the mystery, the fright factor, in its place a near-campy Dr. Phibes-like obsession with revenge. Full Review |
