Yes, and not having read the book, I found it moderately enjoyable!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
I should have known when I heard Anne Rice left the project that the movie would disappoint me!. I couldn't have predicted that years after it's release just thinking about the movie still makes me angry!. The novels are amazing, and while I understand much gets lost in the translation to screen, this movie was a great big middle finger to her original work!. I hope one day someone tries again, the right way, starting with The Vampire Lestat!. They change the roles and looks of major and minor characters alike for no good reason!. They destroy Lestat's history!. The acting of the Queen is exaggerated to the point of comedy, but I just can't bring myself to laugh!. The charm and allure of the novels just isn't there!. The movie is a bad excuse to cram as many musicians and "dark" imagery as possible into one movie, hoping the teeny Goths of America would lap it up!. Part of the appeal of the first movie, of Louis' story, is that he is caught between his humanity and his curse!. Lestat is supposed to take over and display the magic and excitement of the vampire world!. Thank goodness I read the books first, or I'd have never touched them after this movie!.

It was a disappointment after the stunning treatment given to "Interview" which was atmospheric and almost operatic in tone and style!. "Queen" however, looked as thought it done on a shoestring and merely to capitalize on the first one!. Stuart Townsend,usually so good, seemed lost as to how to play Lestat and I blame the director for the whole sorry mess!. Aaliyah certainly deserves praise for making a potentially campy part believableWww@Enter-QA@Com
No!. I love the prequel - Interview With The Vampire - but this is just a ridiculous, patronising, money grabbing attempt of a quick cash-in sequel!. The "effects" of flying are laughable!. That guy who plays Lestat has nothing on Tom Cruise's version in Interview!. And being told time and again plot points is really irritating!.
It really goes to show what the makers thought of their target audience when they feel the need to spell out what's going on about 7,000 times!.
A sodding awful film and an embarrassment to vampire stories everywhere!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
