So Hannibal TV series is over and Mads Mikkelson completely shits on Anthony Hopkins

[iamgine]

The praise should go to the editing, not the acting.

Everyone knew that the show could be cancelled at any time, so the finale gives enough closure to be satisfying. In fact, as much as I want more Hannibal, I'm fine with the show ending the way it did. I don't think they'd be able to top this season, to be honest. It's not a Deadwood situation.

So the third season is EVEN BETTER than the first two?! I finished the second a couple months ago and it's honestly in my top5 shows ever. Must...start....the finale!

That being said, I have only watched half way through s3 up to the end of the first story... Is the Red Dragon arc good guys?

Yes, it's very good.

Hopkins is better because he portrayed the character in around 3 hours and did it brilliantly.

Mads is given how many episodes now? Therefore, it feels like he is better but he has more time to develop the character.

If Mads was given the role for a 3 hour film....it would definitely suck.

Now I know why your basketball opinions are so bad. You just suck at reasoning in general.

Hopkins just made him seem like a raving lunatic. Total crazy person (and dangerous crazy).

Mads made him seem like simply a total psychopath. I think he was meant to be a psychopath and not just a nutter crazy, so therefore, I feel Mads' performance was better.

You got to ask though, can any other actor perform it just as good? I think not many could do what Hopkins did (or Heath as Joker) while many could do what Mads did just as well because in Mads case it's more directing and script than portrayal.

Mads Mikkelsen is a great actor, I suggest you watch The Hunt if you can find subtitles for it, terrific movie. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2106476/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

It helps that Mads has a reptilian face.

Such a great movie...

I have yet to watch Hannibal, but it's certainly on my list, mainly because of Mads.

The beginning of season 3 might throw you off a bit due to its tone and storyline. However by the end of the series, it definitely delivers and ends in a great way. My favorite finale still remains the one from season two. The final carnage scene was vividly visceral and epitomizes the excellence of Mads' Hannibal portrayal.
