Seriously, it made lots of money based on the success of it's predecessor (i.e., which was excellent, albeit very disturbing in places), but the sequel is a so-so movie made from a much WORSE book. BTW, it's not the Director's fault (Ridley Scott) nor the Screen Writer's (David Mamet received ultimate credit, if I'm not mistaken), because the book could NOT be filmed as written. The movie is actually toned down; it was much more disgusting! I'm afraid Thomas Harris screwed the pooch on this one, probably because he'd grown to despise the character of Hannible Lecter and was pressured into writing it by his publisher.Hey Victor, didn't anyone warn you not to eat that hot macaronni & cheese casserole during the last ten minutes of the film? :o)
