It doesn\'t have alot of violence but in the scenes that it has the violence it is very grizzly indeed.
I loved sitting in the dark movie theater and listening to the audience cringe at what was on screen. My thoughts was that it was a really good film.
Don\'t compare it to the book, that gets rather silly in todays world where we all know the book will always be a cut above the film.
I agree most the time on the "don\'t compare it to the book" note. But, in this case, I think the movie is better. Did you read the book? If so, you know that some of the book is pretty far-fetched. It is really a trade off. The book had some
really stupid things in it. Which was taken out of the movie. But the book also had a few more characters that was really interesting. Which was also taking out of the movie.
Overall, in this case, I think the movie was better. Thomas Harris went over-board with the book
Hannibal.
Either way, if you read the book or not, you should go see the movie. It isn\'t a classic by any means, but it is still a good flick.
