After reading the four Hannibal series, this is the only one that lacks Anthony Hopkins, which is a pity. In addition, this one is a bit hung with the head of "Silent Lambs" and is suspected of selling "dog meat". Psychologically, this disconnect is just too much compared to the Hannibal in the next three stories. Although the film tries hard to explain the problems in the follow-up, such as why Hannibal can eat people, why he has elegant habits, etc., but the inexplicable Bushido and the Japanese aunt are completely incomprehensible in the follow-up. If Hannibal was so affectionate with his aunt, and skilled in Bushido, it wouldn't have vanished cleanly in the aftermath. So, I have to say, this Hannibal is a piece of cake, this Hannibal is not another Hannibal.
Aside from these, it is still a lot to watch as an independent story. A person with a high IQ, who gracefully eliminates those who eat his own sister, shows murderous intent from time to time, and smiles coldly and eerily—although it is different from the real Hannibal's sense of knowing everything, but there is a different taste, another. On the other hand, it should also be said that the actor's face does look a bit weird, especially when he smiles, it makes people feel shivering, which has little to do with acting skills.
