Hannibal Rising (R, 2007)

Well first of all this movie was way more than an R rated film. I think it deserves an X rating. Way too violent and had too much sensuality. But even if you let your kids see the previous hannibal movies, you still might want to see it first. Not a good movie content wise or message wise. Reccomended too adults over 21.

Despite mediocre reviews, this movie was pretty good. I loved the other movies in this series, and I think you really have to see those first because this explains why he did what you saw in those. (Proof: My friend and I have the exact same taste in movies. I thought this was awesome, she didn't see the point.) It had the clever lines from Hannibal that the other movies did, and the actor who plays him is very good, however, he has far to go before being compaired to Anthony Hopkins. The obvious issue here is violence, other than a few sexual references (a reference to a characters p---y is a main part of a plotline.) But as long as the kids/teens can handle gore and can understand whats going on, I think they should be fine. Another thing I found kind of creepy is that after watching this, I realized I sympathazied with Hannibal and understood his perogative for killing the people he did in here. The fact that you realize that you symphathize with him might be disturbing, so may be the fact that Hannibal is considered the "hero" in this movie. So there's not only issues of content to think of here, there's also psychological issues.

Wonderful movie, but not as good as the older ones.

Personally, I loved it. The gore was not as bad as other R rated films (I'm really no gore fan, and I found it tolerable). If you're interested in character development, it is truly fascinating to watch Hannibal Lecter change from a child into a psychopath. As far as appropriate age for viewing, it really depends on the child in question. A mature child could handle it just fine at 14 (I watched it at 14 and loved it), but you really have to know the kid in question.

.....this is terrible in almost every way. Not suitable for 10 year olds like me. PLEASE YOU CAN ONLY SEE THIS IF YOU ARE 18 AND UP BUT IF YOU ARE 17 GET YOUR PARENT'S PERMISSION BEFORE YOU GO SEE IT! Definetely not age appropriate.

MOVIE REVIEW Hannibal Rising is a thrilling, terrifying tale, and not for the faint of heart. Revenge and murder are intertwined throughout the Hannibal’s fate. He finds little comfort as he grows up. He learns how to sate his anger and does just that through killing. He kills those who caused him pain in the beginning. The movie makes cannibalism and torturous actions performed by the main character, seem almost appropriate to achieve justice. I LOVE IT!!!!!

The movie was a little scary and I don't recomend this for kids my age or younger.
