Title: Does not live up to the original
Product review: Silence of the Lambs was a critically acclaimed success- a compelling, suspenseful, moving movie. What does the movie studio do? Try to duplicate the success as quickly as possible to strike while the iron is hot, and create a sequel. And like most sequels, this movie doesn't live up to the original.Even veteran actor Anthony Hopkins cannot save this movie, in spite of his wonderful performance. Julianne Moore replaces Jodi Foster as FBI agent Clarice Starling, who squares off against Dr. Hannibal, who taunts her from across the Atlantic ocean in obscure ways.I can almost imagine how the script outline took shape. The story seems to be the product of anxious Hollywood pitchmen frantically throwing out ideas to a studio executive, grasping for success. In any event, they have produced a disjointedly contrived story, punctuated with brief scenes of gory violence.If you must see this movie, rent it.. don't buy it.
