Rating: Summary: Wow. Review: I finally saw this movie this weekend, and then watched it once each following day. I was spellbound. ALthough I have always been partial to vampires and the 18th and 19th centuries, this movie went beyond that... with just the right amount of humor mixed into the darkness, it strikes a perfect balance, and Tom Cruise gives an amazing performance (I absolutely fell in love with him, even though he was a completely narcissistic jerk.). I highly recommend this movie.
Rating: Summary: You'll want to be one of them... Review: As an avid fan of anything Anne Rice has written I'd say; watch the movie but don't compare it to the book. The movie in itself is, I think a masterpiece but misses a few points from the book. Nevertheless, I watch this movie over and over again and know the dialogs almost by heart. It is masterfully done and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys vampire movies. Absolutely wonderful movie. Ladies, you'll fall in love with Louis and Armand :-). I for one wish I could join them in their internal quest for forgiveness and justice.
Rating: Summary: A great movie alone, but pales in comparison to the book.... Review: I first saw the movie when it came out in the theaters and have recently rented it to relive this masterpiece of a movie. First I have to say though that it doesn't follow the book all that closely, leaving out important details that build the characters flamboyant personalities. Besides that minor bickering about it, I found this movie to be one of the best and most interesting ever made. It is a combination of horror/drama that manages to expose so many humanistic dilemmas that I doubt will be surpassed any time soon. The only movie out right now that almost but not quite matches the greatness of this movie would have to be The Matrix (which by the way seems to have many biblical conotations to it)
Rating: Summary: COOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLL! Review: This film is so phenomenal! When I found out there's I book (yeah, a film, without a book:) I decided I MUST have it! (I found out today, so I don't have it yet:) It's played really good, the whole atmosphere is entrancing, the story marvellous! When I saw it on video for the first time I watched it once again just after that:) The cool thing is for example like lestat flyies when he bites louis, and all the other things:) How cool can it be in English when it is so cool in german already? I HAVE to get that book:)
Rating: Summary: Best vampire film ever! Review: I recorded this outstanding movie last night on German TV. A friend had told me it was good but I still was not prepared for the exellent performances of Kirsten Dust, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Antonio Banderas and Christian Slater. It was the very best film about vampires that I have ever seen and the very best horror film though I would not classify it as horror at all. Much better than "From Dusk till Dawn" for example. I just can say: "Watch it!"!
Rating: Summary: Lestat Review: I grew up reading the vampire chronicles. They were the very first books I read and I still read them on a regular basis.The film didn't capture the book very well, but as a stand alone piece it was absolutly amazing. Cruise captured lestats personality pretty well but not as good as he could have. Pitt, Banderas, and Slater give expected preformances. Claudia, the name of the actress eludes me but, her preformance is the best in the movie and one of the best I have ever seen. If your looking for a slashem up, don't turn on the lights horror movie go else where. This movie isn't a horror movie it deal with human morals through an inhuman medium.
Rating: Summary: A MASTERPIECE! Review: This film will always live on in my memory. I have read the book and they captured the escence beatifuly. Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise are excellent as the vampires Louis and Lestat.The filmwork and acting is absolutely brilliant and even Antonio Banderas astounded me. This movie is definetely one of the greatest movies ever made. It never frightned me, that wasn't the point of the film though. But it did suceed in making me believe in miracles. That is because this film is some kind of miracle. If anyone did not like this filme, they should be pushed of a cliff. And if you haven't seen it yet, watch it. It will be the only vampire movie that will really make you go "WOW!".
Rating: Summary: Nonesense rambling Review: Ok, how i came to the decision of 4 stars is just too crazy so just listen to my opinion. Well I never saw the movie in 94 but I rented the video and watched it 7 times in 4 days! I am also only 14 like one girl from another review of this movie. And I can probably say I have ok taste for movies. Or let's just say in order to keep my in my see, it's gotta be good. The cast was grand. The best actors and et cetera. First I thought Tom Cruis was horrible for the part until i watched for the 5th time then bam! I loved him! And as for Pitt as Louis, it was just perfect. PERFECTO! trust me on that. There's rumors that Louis was portrayed more innocent than he really was in the book. That I dont know, but I loved him the most. And also like the other 14 yr old reader, I didn't think Antonio fitted Armand too well. Obviously becuase the hair color was wrong and the age is WAY wrong and i'm not too sure about the accent. Onto christen dunst. I was amazed at her acting! IT is really great to see such talented young actors....though she's probbaly older than me. I admire her affectionately. And Slater was great as Malloy. Now, I'll tell why I rated it 4. Well, I have to say for those of you who haven't read the book by Anne Rice under the same name then you probably wouldn't like the movie. I myself didn't think it would make a great impression on those who never read the book cuz I must say I first found it boring. Well as for those who rea her book, you'll LOVE it! And I definitely disagree with the homoerotic playboy thing. Maybe it's there but it isn't meant to be some distasteful homoerotica. I guess it can be consider the true beauty of life and humans that most people dont admit to. There are flaw of course, but the good parts totally covers it and I loved it. Another advice: Read the book!
Rating: Summary: Best Movie Ever Review: This had to be the best horror movie I have ever seen. I don't really think it should be considered horror though. I always thought it was a drama until I went to buy it and my dad corrected me and told me to look in the horror section. Tom Cruise was pretty good, and Brad Pitt was great. Kirsten Dunst was insanely awesome! Antonio Bandaras was good, too. I could go on forever about how great it was. All I can say is "buy it." It is too good to not have a copy of it.
Rating: Summary: Great vampire movie, fabulous storyline Review: This movie is excellent. "Fright Night" is the only other vampire movie that made as much an impression on me. I was very skeptical when I learned that this movie stared Tom Cruise, but he plays his part magnigiciently. What a story! Go see it!
