December 22, 2008Ooh! Hannibal Rising kind of hurt. You'd hope for something more than his little sister getting cannibalized by war criminals would create one of movie history's greatest characters but the Quick Buck and the substandard revenge plot win out again. Gaspard Ulliel wasn't the worst... ...( read more )

October 6, 2008It was a good film, an unrelenting continuum of insanity ran mysteriously in the background to Hannibal's history and at various points both crossed to chilling ends. It was a good 2-hour film. The acting was good, but not of the Anthony Hopkins level, performances were believabl... ...( read more )

Hannibal Rising is basically a Steven Seagal vigilante movie with a hero who eats the people he kills. At least it's ecofriendly. full review

There is no action-movie cliché too rusty to be wheeled forth. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
As played by French actor Gaspard Ulliel, Hannibal is a playing-card joker: Ulliel performs every scene with the same dimpled smirk, which looks less like an expression than a plastic-surgery mistake. full review

If this picture were a little more ludicrous, just a shade more inane, it might be fun to watch. Unhappily, that is not the case. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
By spelling out the traumas that turned a kind Lithuanian princeling into an epicurean serial killer, the movie reduces a figure of mythic evil to a jumbo case of post-traumatic stress disorder. full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
What Hannibal Rising is, mostly, is a hoot. Gong Li cautions the nightmare-plagued Hannibal that 'Memory is a knife -- it can hurt you.' And let's not forget the classic, 'They ate my sister.' full review

April 15, 2008I love this movie. We go deeper into the past of a younger Hannibal Lecter and his evolution into the famous cannibal we all know since Silence of the Lambs. Gaspard Ulliel in his first English speaking film delivers a terrifying and wonderful portrayl of Hannibal during his youth as he seeks revenge on the war crminals who brutally murdered his sister and ate her.
