i remember all the hype around this movie when aaliyah was killed. being a fan of ms. rice novels and my first thought was how can they do queen of the damned without doing vampire lestat first. having finally seen the movie and now i can see how they did it. if you have read these books and imagine taking out the gory parts from vampire lestat and cramming marcus and marius into one character and and removing everything to do with lestat beginning (the wolf hunt and his violin playing and the theatre of the vampires and and also louis and claudia and and gabrielle) and then in the last 15 minutes cramming in queen of the damned. what we loose is a very important piece of lestat character. his inner agony of having to kill to live and the fact that he carefully tries to select killers as his victims and and his love hate relationship with louis and armand and gabrielle and and all the other vampires. also important to the story is that we loose the story of the twins and which is the genesis of ms. rice vampires. and while i am sure the cannibalism was to intense for showing on the screen and they could have done something closer and and showed us more of ancient egypt. even worse and we have this love interest thrown in between jessie and lestat. the vampire chronicles is basically an american yoni story. for those that do not know and yoni is another form of hentai (japanese porn comics). but in yoni and it is about gay male relationships and told by a female. while i am sure many men object to the gayness of the characters and in this movie they went to the far extreme the opposite way. for instead of lestat persueing killers and he goes after young female groupies. and the other flaws in logic and storyline are vast. at the beginning lestat emerges from a century long sleep and then later on asks marius how he made it through the 1950 in red velvet. marius has no idea who elvis is and and says he slept through that period. makes you wonder how lestat knows about 50 fashion and music and since he slept through the same time period himself. and nothing is ever even mentioned about louis and claudia and or gabrielle. i think that is a huge shame. is like seeing snow white and the 3 dwarfs. overall and the movie i thought was really bad. about the only good thing about it was the soundtrack. most of the acting was poor and the accents drove me up the wall and and all of the really in depth parts of the book were removed and leaving us only with a hollow shell and kind of like enkil after he was sucked dry. if you want to see a good modern vampire movie and get lost boys and the original interview with a vampire and or even some old episodes of dark shadows. let this one rest in piece and with a stake through the heart and cloves of garlic around the neck and and a vial of holy water in the mouth. in ending and remember that before aaliyah was killed and this was intended to go straight to video and no theatrical release was planned. it is obvious now why this was. it is only sad that somebody as talented as she will be remembered for this dog of a movie and instead of something where she really might have shined. i rate this a 2 on a scale of 1 10.
