Rating: Summary: not that bad Review: I watched this movie on cinemax and it's really good. And Aaliyah looks hot. But its's too bad shes dead oh well.
Rating: Summary: A Horrible Film!!! Review: This film is a disgrace to Anne Rice, the Vampire Chronicles, and to Anne Rice fans all over the world. "Interview with the Vampire" is one of the best, if not THE BEST vampire film ever made. Within the first five minutes of watching Queen of the Damned....I was sobbing my eyes out because I had wasted money on this film....and because the filmmakers ruined the books. Stuart Townsend as Lestat? - Give me a break!!!! He was unbelievably horrible....There is only one true Lestat de Lioncourt and that is the magnificent Tom Cruise! Queen of the Damned, the film, was absolutely disappointing!! The actors were pathetic, completely overacting their way through the whole film, the set design was nowhere on scale as with Dante Ferretti's work in "Interview with the Vampire," and the direction was a joke considering they didn't have Neil Jordan to helm the film. Also, QOTD, lacked the beautiful craftmanship and work of makeup/special effects maestro Stan Winston. If you want to experience a wonderful, thought provoking, moving, and serious dark film about vampires....I suggest you buy "Interview with the Vampire." Other than that, I would say save your money - and tears on QOTD. I hate this film so much, that I don't even want to write out the whole title!
Rating: Summary: Complete Butchery!!! Review: If you are a fan of the Vampire Chronicles, DO NOT see this movie!!! I was disgusted by the ruin that was made of Anne Rice's works. I bought this film not having seen it before hand, and it was a total waste of my money. The story line vaguely resembles the actual story and yes, if you've never actually read Queen of the damned you might like it. However, true readers should stay away as it will leave you with extreme disappointment and a bad taste in your mouth. If i could give this film zero stars I would!!!!
Rating: Summary: Only for Fans Review: Okay I have read the reviews on this move and realize that it is not liked overall. I understand anger by viewers at its shortcomings, and if you have read Anne rices stories the movie could come as a disapointment. I on the otherhand am drawn to its mysterious portrayl of Lestat and its beautiful choreography. I f you are a true fan of the stories of Lestat than this movie gives an interesting view on him. If you know nothing about Anne Rice or her stories than yes, as another reviewer mentioned, the characters may seem to have no backround. But then if you aren't really a fan then you probably don't even really care. I liked this movie, and yes of course the dark and sexy Lestat. Yes townsted is definently a "guilty pleasure". As is this movie-though I dont consider it a bad thing.
Rating: Summary: Much anticipatied-but a true disapointment Review: I was very excited when I heard they were making a sequal to Interview and went to the theatre to see the movie. By the end of Queen of the Damned I was furious. The only way you should see this movie is if you have never read the book. The story of the Twins is gone. I had thought that maybe they combined The Vampire Lestat and Queen of the Damned into one movie since they overlap so much-none of Lestat history so you don't understand in the movie why this gathering is so important to Lestat and Akasha. Why she let these vampires live. The portrayal of Lestat looses all the contriversaial casting of Lestat that Tom Cruise gave it. Despite trepidation and after many viewings Tom Cruise played the Lestat that LOUIS DESCRIBED perfectly. The self doubts that Lestat occasionally describes in himself are never described by Louis. Irregardless if you love the books or collect the books or movies go ahead buy Queen of the Damned-but keep the shrink wrap on.
Rating: Summary: I'm Loving It Review: I am in love with this movie, I loved it so much i bought the books! and interveiw with the vampire 9it is dull im comparrison to this magnificant film!) Stuart Townsand is so hot in this movie he'll make you want to eneter the dark world! :P
Rating: Summary: Are there words that can describe it? Review: The movie was nothing short of horrible! Having read all of the books and being a huge fan of the Chronicles, this movie just annoyed me. I swear to you, if it had a plot I need some help finding it! This movie demonstrates what Hollywood usually does, turns a great novel into a gothic-gore-fest. I mean it reached a point where they were just taking a woman's work, her life's devotion, and destroying it under the guise of her characters! And to the person who mentioned Armand - boy do I know where you're coming from (same thing with Lestat). I will say this, I actually thought that Aaliah did a good job with the script she was given. She was very convincing as the character the producers created. Interview with the Vampire was a great film that did justice to Anne Rice's work. The entire cast (especially Cruise, Pitt, and Dunst) was terrific. With that being said, here's something I found hilarious - apparently the main producer of Queen of the Damned wishes that he had been given the opportunity to work on 'Interview!' Apparently the film didn't live up to his expectations and he could of done so much more with it. I think I speak for most people when I say that I'm glad that he was kept the hell of way from that film. At least there is one movie that Anne Rice fans can admire.
Rating: Summary: See it for yourself before blindly taking in bias... Review: I read the other reviews and then decided to judge for myself. The result is that I loved the movie. Without reading the Ann Rice books, I still was able to follow the story line and found it entertaining. It was great and the singer Aaliyah was wonderful. It was as if she had become the character in real life and just as you loved her---the evil character she portrayed caused you to not see her but the evil Queen and hate the Queen. One could really see the talent that this woman possessed. Her acting was perfect for this part. The world has lost a wonderful star of such talent. Watching this movie has caused me to become interested in reading the Ann Rice books and become a fan as a result. See it for yourself before blindly taking in the bias of others.
