Hannibal lecter fans: is the new movie worth seeing? the rising....?

...on a whole, I would have to say yes, the movie is definitely worth seeing; however, be forewarned that the events portrayed in the film might just change your views about how you feel about the character of Hannibal Lecter, not unlike how peoples' views of Darth Vader were changed, after seeing "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith".

Although similarly visceral, expect a much more dramatically gripping and intense excursion, rather than the atypical tongue-in-cheek, edge-of-your-seat thriller, as reflected in previous 'Lecter' episodes. Also expect to forge a growing sympathy for the character; it becomes quite clear that Hannibal is reluctantly and uncontrollably caught in events that will forever affect him physically, mentally and psychologically.

In the end, you might not be able to watch "Silence of the Lambs", "Hannibal" and "Red Dragon" in the same light, again; Hannibal becomes a much more sympathetic monster, not unlike the character of Darth Vader, or if you want to go even further back, the Frankenstein Monster.
