A lot of people think anthony hopkins is a great actor ... i'm not one of them ... i've watched him over emote for ages and he still comes across as a pompous ass, completely devoid of genuine feelings and a sense of purpose ... to wit, the contest in the wild with his wife's lover ... he took on a grizzly bear with a match and a magnifying glass to prove his worth as an outdoorsman ... when all he had to do was kill her lover ... hanibal lecter seemed to be a role made for his psychotic aura ... calling him sir is an insult to english society
