As far as the book goes, the tale was epic. The movie brought the book to life even more wonderful than I'd imagined. This film had a lot to live up to as a sequel... and as a sequel, it failed completely. To enjoy this movie, don't think of it as a sequel. Think of it as a movie all of its own, loosely based on familiar characters. Lestat is no longer himself, but instead rock star vampire with a completely different look and accent. If you can ignore that, and enjoy the loosely fitting perhaps alternate story, you can probably enjoy this movie. Lestat's musical talents are interesting and enjoyable, though I wish they'd done more special effects to his voice. I just didn't find it superhuman enough. On the first note he sings in the movie, his voice is like a dark choir of sound, it's powerful and far beyond human. Later however, his voice seems to turn standard punk rock, nothing special but not bad. Another fault to overlook, then, is what could have been. The movie's rather fast paced, so you won't get bored. It's got good rock sound, vampires crawling everywhere, a decent story so long as you don't expect it to have anything to do with the book. Top it all off with some cool effects. As a movie, it's average, but still good. If you like vampire movies and/or the series, don't hesitate to at watch it. It's not half bad. - Rirath_com Interview vs Queen I hated Tom Cruise as Lestat. I thought he violated the heart of the character. He played Lestat as a fop which to some degree was the misperception of Louis. (Louis didn't know at the time that Toms family was pretty much wiped out and actually was minor nobility and Louis didn't understand until much later Lestats loneliness nor how Lestat had protected him. He also didn't know then that all of Lestats kills even then were justice and not indiscriminate)Tom Cruise came across as a vicious prankster. Although Interview was very sumptuous visually, Tom Cruises portrayal ruined the movie for me. ULTIMATE IN EVERY WAY This movie didnt really appeal 2 me when i first watched it, i only like the soundtrack, so i kept watchin it again 4 the songs, but the more i saw the more dramatic, entertaining and erotic it became. stuart is a spunk who oozez dark sexiness and so is the late aaliyah who showed just how great she would have was and just how far she could have gone. im totally in luv wit this film but if u arnt into dark eroticness then maybe it aint 4 u.
