If you come to watch this movie my advice is to forget that the other 3 movies even exists. We also get to see a tender relationship with him and Lady Murasaki China's Gong Li. We watch the transformation with interest even though it feeds a lot on serial killer clichés. He slowly and inevitably becomes Hannibal 'the cannibal'. And he searches, finds and unleashes terrible revenge on those responsible. We now know from 'Hannibal' the book and this one that Mischa and what happened to her played a very important role in turning Hannibal to the 'dark side' sorry! Star wars. We watch with awe and horror what happened in the early part of his life. That way we will have no expectations and this was set in a time when Lecter was yet to become who he was. Any actor trying to fill Sir Hopkins's shoe will find it impossible but the producers did the smart thing by hiring an unknown French actor to play young Hannibal. That's good strategy.In any case let's talk about the movie. So we don't have any way that we can compare. Thomas Harris novelist was also tempted and the funny thing is the book also comes out at the same time the movie does. I even heard of the idea of creating a prequel of 'The Lord of the Rings' doing rounds in the Hollywood circles Tolkien must be churning in his grave.
