Why was the movie Hannibal so underrated and poorly received by critics?

you have Ridley Scott coming off Gladiator directing a David fucking Mamet screenplay based on some of Thomas Harris' best source material, and Anthony fucking Hopkins reprising one of the most legendary and unforgettable characters ever conceived in film/literature. half of the movie takes place in Florence and Gary Oldman puts on a fucking clinic for any actor aspiring to play a villain in a B-rated horror film.
I understand people were sad that Jodie Foster and John Demme weren't involved but tough shit. the original Hannibal movie had Brian Cox as Hannibal and Dennis Farina as Foster's boss. Julianne Moore was actually a better Clarice Starling than Jodie Foster, less robotic and showing a sliver of vulnerability.

Some of the most disturbing violence I've ever seen was on this show. I think it was mostly French-funded and just aired on NBC in a bad time slot.
Some scenes that come to mind:
Hannibal driving a knife through a guy's brain at his dinner table
The scene where the Asian woman agent is found with her body carefully dissected and displayed in glass panels
The scene where some insane killer is stitching bodies together at the bottom of a silo, and then later when one of those bodies escapes and falls off a cliff
The scene where Hannibal places a comb in the girl's incubator and it causes a spark and she burns alive

Honestly this movie would have done much better in the early 90s; by 2001, the popular taste for the particularly Roccoco tastes of Harris, a guy who wrote two great thrillers and then switched to fan fiction of his own material, was kaput. If this had come out in 1992 it would have killed during that early 90s interlude where the exploitation refugees of the collapsing 80s horror boom were swarming into the UMC bland cinema (your Ordinary Peoples and so on) and giving us glossy schlock like Basic Instinct and Indecent Proposal. Of course, that would have clashed with when Silence actually came out, so who knows.
It’s basically the most “post 1987 Dario Argento” movie that wasn’t an Argento movie.

Harris didn't even want to write Hannibal, so he put in a sloppy hack job
Redhead woman was mediocre as shit
They neutered the interplay and ending of the movie
