Rating: Summary: Good to the last drop! Review: An intelligent treatment of vampirism with incredible tunes, fine performances, eye-candy actors and direction non pareil. Nice script as well. Great date movie.
Rating: Summary: Way too short! Review: I don't think this movie did the book justice. There just wasn't enough of the movie to cover even a quarter of the book. Most of the vampires were great, but there was also a lot of bad acting in this movie. There should have been some bigger names in it. The main characters are fantastic. The blood content was good. I'll buy it.
Rating: Summary: *cough Cough* Review: Ok, well... I am a great fan of Anne Rice, and was absolutly thrilled when I heard they where coming out with "Queen"...well Rice fans, prepare to be angry! The WHOLE book was destoyed, nothing but the names resembled the mystifying story of Rice, how dare them take the liberty to disfigure such an awe-inspiring involved book and turn it into a teenie boppers rave night out! Lestat is virtually powerless...and get this, falls in love with the young, dim-witted, raver Jesse...there is too much to be angry about, so Rice fans, get...ready... and indulge yourself this shallow tale of wanna-be thrilling 13 year old entertainment...
Rating: Summary: Cool! Review: I went to this movie expecting to be disappointed because let's face it sequals are never as good as the original and in my opinion the book [stunk]. But the movie was very good. It definately wasn't as good as Interview but in it's own way it was good. It focuses on Lestat instead of Louis which I never did like. And also I thought they should have incorporated "the Vampire Lestat" (originally the sequal to Interview in the book series) in which Lestat tells his story to the world and he starts up his band called the Vampire Lestat. This movie incorporates some of that book but there is a part in which Lestat as a mortal has to fight off a pack of wolves which leads to Marius finding him. But they left that out. If you like vampire movies and action movies you will most likely enjoy this film. It had very cool special effects. Not to mention this was the last film that Alliyah was in. What a piece to be remembered for a bloodthirsty vampire. Ha Ha!
Rating: Summary: awsome Review: this is an awsome movie, especially if ur into the whole vampire thing. stuart townsend did an amazing job as lestat! the movie is just really great and too much for words its just really really awsome, you just HAVE to see it!
Rating: Summary: It's more of a comedy then a horror flick(& not on perpose) Review: This movie bit hard. The script was funny, the special effects were [bad], the characters were OFF, The acting hurt me deep in my soul, and the plot was nonexistant. It begs the question, how much worse could the director possibly have made this movie? unless Freddie Prinze Jr played Lestat I don't think it could have gotten any worse. The movie theater [took] my money and I am resentful for it.
Rating: Summary: Oddly very pleased Review: I went to this movie set up to not like it and after I got over my dislike of the fact that they changed lestat's benafactor and little story points I found a very "Pretty" movie. well worth seeing and buying.
Rating: Summary: Only one star because I can't rate it lower Review: Avoid this movie at all costs. I could feel the intelligence rushing from my head as I watched it. It really doesn't get much worse than this. This movie has it all. The guy who does his own thing no matter what the consequences. It has Aaliyah with an inconsistant, dodgy accent, and a Ministry of Funny Walks worthy gait. A huge climactic battle with two friends turned enemies suddenly friends again kung-fu fighting side by side. I think if the stars of this movie were ugly, it would never have been released.
Rating: Summary: the best movie Review: this movie is by far the best movie i have ever seen! i think that Stuart Townsend plays Lestat better than Tom Cruise, (i think he played lestat n interview with the vampire) any ways, this movie is hot bcuz of the vampire "stuff"
Rating: Summary: Defending my Honor Review: I must admit, I saw the movie: Queen of the Damned before reading the books. That does not make me an illiterate Vampire Chronicles fan. In the past month or so I have read the first three chronicles and am now on the fourth. It has bothered me tremendously how the movie seems to simply use Anne Rice's characters with a completely different story. I think the producers wanted to make the movie easier to understand, though it made me confused once I read the books. I mostly would like to know what Anne Rice thought of the movie. The characters were PERFECT, I can't think of one who I would picture differently. So Marius isn't what most would expect. Big deal?(it does say once-in-a-while in the book that Marius had his hair cut short, does it not?) Get the sight of Tom Cruise as Lestat out of your mind because Townsend was the perfect image. Now let's see, I know, if I were reading this I would say to myself, blah, this is a girl under 21 giving Queen of the Damned a good review because the character was hot. She's probably a teeny-bopper who knows nothing. Believe me that's not what this is, I despise all that. My thoughts after seeing the movie and before reading the books were that the storyline was somewhat weak, and compared to other vampire stories, i thought it didn't make any sense. My advice, if you haven't read the book, read it. If you haven't seen the movie, go see it.
