Based on the book by the same name, Hannibal Rising tries (not too hard) and fails (easily!) at recreating the magic of the book based on the early life of Hannibal, and his "rise" as a cannibalistic psycho killer. The screenplay is patchy, the characters are boring, and the movie itself very dull and insipid. Maybe it was something to do with the fact that I was running a fever and watching it on a laptop, but then hey, I have seen other movies in that state too!
Miss it, and you will not miss much.
Yes, read the book, though!
