i read Silence of the Lambs before watching the movie. is it just me, or does anyone else think the movie was lacking somehow? i know the movie was a big success and it had great reviews but personally it didn't do it for me. i love the book and just don't think the movie lived up to it. (no doubt about it however, Sir Anthony Hopkins was brilliant as Hannibal Lecter)

Anytime you read a book before watching the movie it seems you are disappointed. The book has more time to add all the details, plus you get a mental picture in your head. Usually your mental picture is different from the movie, so it tends to make the movie not as good. Just my 2 cents

I think the movie mirrored the book almost exactly. There were only minor details in the book that didn't make it to the screen. I loved it though. I have seen it more than 100 times and read the book, however, Hannibal is my favorite book in the series. Now that movie lacked everything it needed to be superb.

I saw the movie first, so I have a different perspective. I definitely preferred the book, but I do quite enjoy the movie. If you read Hannibal and then see the movie you'll be highly disappointed, I think. There's the most difference between those in the series.

I don't really know what more you expected from the movie. It was extremely well done and entertaining. The cast was very good, especially Sir Anthony Hopkins.
If you are the kind of person who likes to read the book first, you will probably always find that the movie rarely lives up to your imagination.

Silence of the Lambs for particular, no longer purely because of the fact it has gained a plenty greater advantageous quantity of awards than Seven did, even though it became dubbed that Dr. Hannibal Lecter became the #a million villain of AFI's a hundred years. Anthony Hopkins did a good interest portraying Hannibal interior the movie. (:

Tip!
Don't read the book if you think it's gonna be made into a movie!
It is always better in a book.
Only very few film makers have ever pulled it off, there are just too many details in a book that you can't fit into a movie.
I actually think the Harry Potter movies have been pretty good though and I have read the books first.

It always happens that when you read the story you make your own movie in your mind, however i think that the movie itself was brilliantly made and the cast was superb... I am not a big fan of the sequels though... In any case, it is a classic thriller everyone should watch!

I thought it was long and dreary. Sure it was creepy and a classic but it's still boring! lol
