Malignant (2021)
Could have been great
Really great story. Disappointed because it could have been so good. I'm talking it could have been a 10. However it was so slow in the beginning, coupled with the bad acting, I feel like the 6 rating is somewhat generous. I actually saw this twice, probably because I didn't for the life of me remember it. It was probably 15 minutes in before I realize that I had seen it. Luckily the second time I saw it was on Netflix, so I was able to fast forward through some of it. That's when I realized that the ending was the most exciting part. When I say ending I mean like the last half hour. And the right hands, the story would have been wonderful.
Hannibal Rising (2007)
Great Surprise
Well, no Anthony Hopkins so I didn't expect greatness, but was pleasantly surprised. Gaspard Ulliel did a very good job and has a wonderful look about him. I was caught up in the story about how Hannibal got started. To give an idea of my opinion so you know where I'm coming from, I think Anthony Hopkins is one of the greatest actors of our time and he was brilliant as Hannibal. That being said, I was reluctant to see this. However I can now say I'm hoping for more. The movie was done very professionally. They are saying this is the best since Silence of the Lambs. I now believe them although I did like Hannibal better than most. I don't want to give too much away, just believe me it's worth the time to see it. Just don't expect Anthony Hopkins. Keep in mind this is Hannibal at a much younger age. Go into it with an open mind.
