Routine, boring, and typical...

| Jan 5, 2023

Hannibal Rising? More like Hannibal Risible in this truly infantile film that conceives of Hannibal Lector as a superhero in his own origin flick. This tacky, hackneyed idea finds a tacky and hackneyed grammar to boot.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 12, 2022

[Hannibal Rising] shows us the death of a little boy, and the birth of a monster, but at no point does it make us want to look over our shoulder.

In a nutshell, it's all about the hideous ways of killing, flesh-pounding images, slain heads, blood and gore.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 25, 2019

[Hannibal Rising] is a handsome and involving macabre drama, with a pathos that tempers the horror-movie shocks.

The guy's about as intimidating as a mildly irritated kitten, and that certainly doesn't up the creep factor.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 7, 2008

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

| Jul 11, 2008

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 21, 2008

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 14, 2007

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

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 20, 2007

| Original Score: 0/4 | Jul 14, 2007

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...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 1, 2007

Hannibal Rising isn't much more than appetizer.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 25, 2007

A ponderous, uninspired portrait of a serial-killer-in-the-making with Webber missing every opportunity to build suspense and deliver chills.

Full Review | Apr 21, 2007

Uma ótima fotografia em serviço de um roteiro ridículo que se torna ainda mais patético em função do péssimo protagonista.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 17, 2007

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.

| Original Score: C | Mar 5, 2007

Each successive 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.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 3, 2007
