2007 Directed by Peter Webber
The story of the early, murderous roots of the cannibalistic killer, Hannibal Lecter – from his hard-scrabble Lithuanian childhood, where he witnesses the repulsive lengths to which hungry soldiers will go to satiate themselves, through his sojourn in France, where as a med student he hones his appetite for the kill.

I detest any film that not only strips Hannibal Lecter of his enigma but turns him into a garden variety psychopath!
Esse filme me surpreendeu, não imaginava que seria tão horrível assim. Esse filme em 15 minutos você já percebe que vai ser horrível, tudo é ruim, as atuações, o roteiro, a história, tudo. Ao mesmo que parece ser uma história de origem do Hannibal, parece ser do Jigsaw de Jogos Mortais, nada faz sentido. Um prequel totalmente desnecessário, o livro em si já é ruim, o filme conseguiu ser ainda pior.
There comes a time in life where you will give a bland, medicore film way too many rewatches because the lead actor is FUCKING BEAUTIFUL. A PRECIOUS FLOWER TO CHERISH FOREVER. This is that film.
In my first year of uni I made all my pals watch this because "Gaspard is fit as fuck". Come an hour later and we're watching him licking blood off a knife, I think that is when my friends decided I was a serial killer.

This was very different from the other movies, not only because it was an origin story, but also because Hannibal as a character felt so different and simple.
The story was just an average revenge thriller, where Hannibal occasionally took a bite of his victims, but other than that it really had nothing to do with the Hannibal Lecter we know and love.
The acting was fine and the actors did the best they could but it was still hard for them to live up to the standards set by Anthony Hopkins and the others.
The movie had some cool kills and it had a good amount of violence, but the story just wasn’t that interesting.…
Gong Li (poor Gong Li) teaches teenage Dr. Lecter (her nephew) Kendo so he can get revenge on the Nazis that ate his baby sister. just hysterically stupid. of course the prequel to the remake of the prequel to THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS was eventually deemed necessary. inexplicably it ended up like a pulp-cartoon knockoff of THE PIANIST but about a serial killer instead of a pianist. and yet admittedly if this plot were, say, season 6 of the TV series, i'd probably be into it (transmedia forever). it already sort of looks like "Hannibal" anyway, with its self-consciously operatic chiaroscuro.
What a terrible shame to sully the majestic spectacle of Silence of the Lambs through sequels with ever-decreasing levels of thought, compassion, energy and, well, let's just say this final piece in the Hannibal collection is dull in the extreme.
Hannibal Lecter makes a great character because he's nuanced, engaging, interesting and thought-provoking. It's hard to imagine how his mind works, and he's clearly much more than just a psychopathic monster. In this film, director Peter Webber and lead Gaspard Ulliel manage to strip away all the intrigue to create an entirely bland, dull and unconvincing Hannibal clone. Most of all though, the performance is dry as a nuns wotnot, and manages to remove any sense of mystique from the…
Damn....it turns out the reason Hannibal Lector is so screwed is because of Hugh Grant's roommate in Notting Hill. I never liked that guy from Notting Hill and now I know why. Gaspard Ulliel plays the young Hannibal who is looking for revenge for World War 2 atrocities. More drama than thriller as we watch boy turn man, man turn into the monster. If you liked the Hannibal movies then you need to see this one for the background of Hannibal.....if not a Hannibal fan...stay away.
An adaption of Thomas Harris's novel of the same name with the author pulling screenwriting duties, a first for the film series, that seems to exists solely to indulge built-in expectations. Can't really blame Harris for going with the safe money; a few Brinks trucks were likely sent to his estate just for his involvement here. His screen translation is less contrived than Hannibal (2001) and Red Dragon (2002) with the look of a handsome historical drama and without an over-the-top Hopkins.
Gaspard Ulliel's Lecter is a walking composite of previously hinted traits. Enduring childhood wartime trauma; he finds a cultured life and a Japanese squeeze as a young man enrolling in med school with psychopathic cunning, flare for illustration,…
Since Hannibal Lecter isn't like your typical horror movie monster I think it's ok to dig into his past, in fact I welcome it. Rising does answer some questions why he is the way he is - half successfully. Where this film shines is the trauma he experienced as a child and really it's the only pain he feels. I think the film does not shine so well in the depth of the character which I think is the screenplay's fault, as well as the filmmakers. Still, I'm glad they made it.
58/100
"Pearls before swine."
In what may be the most embarrassingly ridiculous prequel ever made, we follow Hannibal Lecter's origins as a (seemingly) royal European survivor of World War II, suffering from PTSD and eager to avenge the death of his family. With vengeance in his heart and two painfully long hours to kill, Hannibal sets off to learn the ways of the Samurai in France? Fall in love with...wait what? Suddenly eat raw skin? Become an artist? Become an artist and then a professional medical student? Have no interest in culinary arts or psychology? Use a Russian and then French accent in a bizarre mix of...Frussian?? Constantly see pigs in a visual reference to Hannibal? Hang out in butcheries which…
