Although I am a high school student, I really enjoyed this movie! It was a very faithful rendition of the cartoons. Matthew Lillard, Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Linda Cardellini play the Mystery Inc. perfectly! Lillard is especially good as Shaggy! Rowan Atkinson was also very funny.
If you want a whole bunch of good laughs, and not have your intelligence insulted, go see SCOOBY-DOO!

I loved this movie!
My mother, my sister, and I wanted to watch a movie together. So when we heard that it would be on HBO in 20 minutes, we all jumped in front of the TV and waited. What a beautiful movie! I don't think there's anything wrong with this film, especially with the acting. I mean... with Helen Hunt, Kevin Spacey, Haley Joel Osment (this kid is AWESOME!!!), Jay Mohr, Jon Bon Jovi, James Cavaziel, and Angie Dickinson, how can you go wrong?!
The script is very touching and well-written. The ending was especially powerful. I'm going to be 20 this summer, and I cried like a baby throughout the last 5 minutes!
Don't listen to what Leonard Maltin says. PAY IT FORWARD is an effective drama that will change the way you look at life and the lives of those around you. It certainly changed mine.

Movie Title: HANNIBAL (2001)
Cast: Sir Anthony Hopkins (Dr. Hannibal 'The Cannibal' Lecter), Julianne Moore (Clarice M. Starling), Ray Liotta (Paul Krendler), Giancarlo Giannini (Rinaldo Pazzi), Frankie Faison (Barney Matthews), Francesca Neri (Allegra Pazzi), and Gary Oldman (Mason Verger).
My Rating: ***1/2 out of **** (3.5 out of 4)
Synopsis: After living under an alias in Florence, Italy, Dr. Hannibal 'The Cannibal' Lecter decides to hunt down, and reunite with, his old "friend", agent Clarice Starling, whom has recently gotten into deep trouble with the FBI.
My Review: The world's most psychotic gentleman is back in HANNIBAL, the long-awaited sequel to THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS!
Anyone who has ever seen SILENCE... or HANNIBAL knows that no one else can play the sadistic Hannibal Lecter as well as Sir Hopkins. In fact, no one else can even say 'Hello, Clarice..." with such subtle menace or awkward politeness. Sir Hopkins plays Hannibal as the ultimate villain, and has the Academy Award to prove it. Julianne Moore gives a fabulous and heartfelt performance as Clarice. Unfortunately, she has been subjected to many unfair comparisons to the original Starling, Jodie Foster. In my opinion, it wouldn't be right to compare them because they play the role differently. Although Foster was good in the role, Moore did not want to play the role like Foster, nor did she want to. She has her own interpretation. Ray Liotta, Giancarlo Giannini, and an unrecognizable Gary Oldman offer splendid supporting work, each role being just as big and important as the other. Besides Hopkins, the only returning cast member from the original is Frankie Faison, who does a great job as Barney.
I think that the romance between Hannibal and Clarice is very strange, yet touching. They could not be any more different, but they are so perfect for each other. Clarice is very loyal, brave, and smart. Hannibal knows this, which is why he respects and loves her.
Director Ridley Scott has done a magnificent job at capturing the beauty of Florence. He also has many other interesting camera tricks up his sleeve.
Scott, screenwriter David Mamet, author Thomas Harris, the cast, and the rest of the creative/productive staff have all done a flawless job in creating a masterful, scary, and gorgeous film!
