Of course, "Silence of the Lambs" is THE classic, brilliantly played - what can I say.
"Hannibal", which like its sequels was unknown to me, proved to be the best of it all. Why? Sir Anthony Hopkins! Amazing performance! One can only admire his Hannibal Lecter (Dr. Fell in the movie). The pureness of his intellect, his total absence of remorse and pity - brilliant!
"Red Dragon" too much resembled "Silence of the Lambs". While it was enjoyable watching something predating the Oscar winner, the new villain was just too likeable, lacking evilness.
"Hannibal rising" had some great acting by the young star and surely has earned his place in its genre. But in comparison to the other three movies, Anthony Hopkins is missing.
Overall, in my opinion, the first two movies are the best of the quadrology.
