I didn't like this...

I mean I don't think it was terrible but I don't think it was great either. And I am not blaming the acting either, my issue is really with the plot.

Clarice and Hannibal should not be a love story. I never got that vibe between them.
Why would a person that escaped prison come back just to see Clarice, an FBI agent because she is so alluring?
Why is everyone that works at the FBI terrible?
Her boss got rejected 10 years ago while he was married and is still so obsessed that is he is actively derailing her career?
Why is Mason training pigs to eat Hannibal? There seem like easier ways to kill someone.

This movie/book shouldn't exist. Just No. I like the Italy scenes but I think that's because I just like Italy.

Well Mason is sadistic sociopath so anything he chooses can be accepted to some extend.I mean you can see that he would enjoy the irony of Lecter being eaten alive by wild animals and just from pure sadistic point of view.

I like the cat & mouse dialog between Starling & Hannibal but the movie was just too gory for me.

One of my favourite films.
But yes, if you're not a fan of gore it's probably not for you!
