Ridley Scott’s stint on the Hannibal Lecter franchise arrives on Blu-ray.

Anyone fancy a chianti?

Sadly, this brings the lecherous Krendler to the attention of Lecter.

Of course, Lecter is smart.

Hes not going to just walk blindly into the hands of his would be captors.

Hopkins, as Lecter, is still brilliant, though occasionally the dialogue he delivers is clumsy.

All said and done,Hannibalisnt a dreadful movie.

Its not as good asSilenceorRed Dragon, but it still stands up relatively well.

Taken on its own merits, however, it is interesting, if occasionally overly self-indulgent.

ExtrasRidley Scotts commentary on the film drifts from insightful to dull.

He speaks with passion, covers many interesting topics but occasionally his anecdotes are just dull.

Theres nearly 35 minutes of deleted scenes with a commentary by Ridley Scott.

3 stars

Some of the scenes would have worked in the film, but others were definitely worth leaving out.

Theres interesting points of view from the cast and crew which make it definitely worth watching.

Somewhat disappointingly, were offered fewer extras than were featured on the original DVD release.
