This is not a movie about killers, horror, or crime

Rating: 9/10 (15 July 2013)

Although everybody praises the performance of Welsh actor Anthony Hopkins, this films gets a lot criticism for the same reasons. Some say it wasn't scary, some say it doesn't match the book, some say all the science is wrong... well. I have an answer for all that. And the answer is really a question: who cares? I don't know if I'm really the only one but this movie was not about the horror, nor the gross/creepy factor. This movie was yet another movie about life. That's all. This movies is quite an experience. And although some say that Foster's acting was not good... her performance was convincing for me.
This is, in fact, an all around great movie. It has a plot that keeps you not only entertained, but also glued to the screen, seeking answers. It has great acting. It has various lines of moral lessons. It has charming characters, and cliché filled villains (Dr. Chilton is actually a villain, didn't know if you guys... like... you know). This is definitely a must watch for all times. An all around 9/10.
