639 wordsFor those interested Hannibal Hannibal For those interested in seeing Hannibal, you ll find greater enjoyment of the movie if you avoid comparing it to Silence of the Lambs, its smashing predecessor. Hannibal has a different style, altered tone, and a sweeping change in story emphasis. In short, it s bigger, simpler, and a bit more predictable.
