In the past he did some real knockouts, the most memorable for me being Alien and Legend.

How about Blade Runner? Wonderful movie, I thought.

I haven't seen 'Hannibal' (and I probably won't), but I'm still going to offer my two cents here, even though I'm only guessing. If 'Hannibal' is a bad movie, one of the problems may be that it was made from a lousy book. Even while I was reading it, it struck me that Harris may not have wanted to write the book at all. And at the end, I felt that Harris had nothing but contempt for his publisher and his readers. For reference, though, I should say that I liked both 'Red Dragon' and 'Silence Of The Lambs' (the books, that is -- I didn't like the movie made from 'Red Dragon').
