Should've Gone Deeper

Even though Ridley Scott, who is arguly a brilliant director, couldn't impress me with this one. One of the worst things about this film was it had a horrible time following the book. I felt like I was watching something that should have been much more complex not only for Anthony Hopkins, but also for Jodie Foster. The movie was so poor at displaying Clarice's transformation they couldn't even use the books original ending. I felt that the movie was a mere overview of the novel and never got down to its roots, whoever adapted this screenplay, even if it was Thomas Harris, did an utterly horrible job.
