Title: So disappointing...and I blame David Mamet.
Product review: I've read Hannibal 3 times now - it's one of the best books I've read in AGES, and to see the screenplay butchered the way Mamet has butchered this, is just so horrible. I was looking forward to seeing this movie for so long, after having enjoyed the book so much. What a disappointment. The characters (the ones they didn't omit, and ESPECIALLY Hannibal himself) are flat & poorly developed. The storyline has been sped up & hacked to bits to accommodate the Hollywood standard of a 2 hour film.To be fair, I believe Ridley Scott should share some of the blame for this film's shortcomings. All done & said, this film was really poorly done.
