I could never watch it because I heard too much about it. I can’t get things like that out of my head, so I steer clear.

Lenny the Clam, I fully agree; he was awesome in that role. Some articles & interviews, following the film's release, quote cast & crew that Hopkins was so "into character" that he scared the crap out of them daily!

The brilliant Sir Anthony Hopkins. Such a lovely, humble man.

what I find amusing is that in the film, he eats liver with a nice Chianti. The book however, pairs liver with Amarone (a much better choice!) but film makers found that too many Americans confused it with Amaretto ( di Saronno) which as you are all bound to know, is not appropriate at all!

Mr. Hopkins played well! I also loved him in 1978's Magic.

Too many people idolize murderers. That's why this sick film made so much money. Having said that, I did enjoy watching it myself. Suspenseful and Hannibal was clever, just a total sicko.

Winning an Oscar for best actor - brilliant. He is only on screen for 16minutes! Just goes to show how powerful his performance was

In that film, Anthony Hopkins becomes Hannibal Lecter. The body moves, the eyes, even the breath is Hannibal Lecter.

I guess I'm the only commenter who didn't like the movie and thus didn't find the acting "great". 🤷‍♀️
