Hannibals Return

This was a good sequel - Hannibal returning brought me goosebumps once again with him out of jail at large..Thats bloody fun to me having a serial killer missing for 10 years and returns caused by an old patient of his wants revenge.

However - He gets Clarice involved the dangerous game where she has been looking for him for a long time since after shooting Buffalo Bill. One thing is I wasn't too sure about Moore as Clarice - She was good, but we all like the same actress to play the same person in the story's.

Anyway - Gary Oldman as the villain was superb..evil, twisted and absolute rich..

Good Sequel Indeed!! "Your brother smells just as bad as you do" - Hannibal Lector
