Storyline

Living in exile, Hannibal Lecter tries to reconnect with now disgraced FBI agent Clarice Starling and finds himself a target for revenge from a powerful victim.

My thoughts:

Revenge better served cold then it turns sour as the tables turn and quickly bite you in the arse or in this case face! 

I didn't really watch this movie series in order of release date or storyline or whatever I just watched them the moment I found them and so happens that I'm available at the time. I've been meaning to watch this film anyway since I started watching Hannibal (tv series 2013-2015). For some reason way back in the day I shy away or really don't want to watch it due to cannibalism involved even the movie cannibal.

anywho the story telling was quite boring to begin with, a bit action pack in some parts though there are other parts that simply failed to capture my attention. I like the last 20 minutes of the film as it truly put the pieces together I appreciated that especially that last meal OMG! truly disturbing!.

As far as the victim who plotted it all and tries to buy almost everyone who said yes to his plans are simply mad! good thing for hannibal being hannibal. 

Julia Moore is simply ageless I can't believe she still look like this now wow! well as Clarice Starling I think she did a fine job quick kickass you go girl! Although I hope she'd go after hannibal herself overseas. The other characters are pretty much predictable and got what they deserve. Overall I gave this movie  3 out of 5 stars not quite as disturbing as I thought it would/should be. Dunno why I still like the tv series modern day take of this better.

Hannibal Season 2 + some spoilers | Tv Series Review

My thoughts:

I advise to truly watch this show in moderation it's so insane!

WTH! OMG THIS SHOW! UGH! so frustrating! kept me on the loop and on the edge of my seat like are they gonna get him now? how about now? like how? who will die next? will he die next? will Will die next? how about Jack? that season 2 beginning though...

SPOILER ALERT!


OMG! Will NOOOOOO!!!!!! I can't believe Dr Lecter did that to him.

the way Dr Lecter flawlessly manipulated everything was brilliant and scary! this show gives me the creeps

Freddie Lounds death seems truly forced like her character development was nowhere in site and she's not in as much episode unlike in season 1 so I guess that's why they decided to kill her character off but no that's a really good cover though they almost got me there and I'm glad they did it before hannibal did haha I thought her face changed?was it the lighting?make up or what? I think her hair sometimes..extra fluffy anyway,

Dr. Bloom's  relationship with Dr, Lecter also seems forced like seriously Alana seriously? just like what Will said " you said I'm not good for you but he's good enough for you?"(something like that) OMG! ridiculous! I thought it was all part of a brilliant plan they constructed just to get Hannibal admit to his crimes ugh so frustrating! but no Alana seems in love but their chemistry was a bit off putting for me unlike with Will.  I hope something works out for season 3

AND THAT DRUTTED ENDING! OMG! SERIOUSLY?! Alana dialed her phone called for help first after a couple of minutes almost dying later Will was there dialed his phone called for help then try to cover up some of Alana's body to keep  her warm as she lay there by the front door. Most of them bleeding to death a couple more minute later still no cops! no ambulance whatsoever and it's raining and it's just OMG SO MANY FEELS! 

Overall 5 out of 5 stars due to its madness! plus I don't want Dr. Hannibal Lecter come out and get me haha! just kidding ^_~
