I love Interview....I've watched it three times in one weekend SARAH!
That was fun.

That was so funny. "How about you two don't fall asleep this time so I don't have to sit through this fuckin' movie for a THIRD TIME?"
Ah, John.

I thought the movie was pretty good. Sure it didn't follow the book exactly, but then again, what movies do?

Tom Cruise, in my opinion, did well in this film though I have to say Kirsten Dunst was wonderful. I think the role of an evil, immortal child with a hatred for vampires who dance with the corpses of her diseased mother is appropriate for her. ^^

(btw Lestat dancing with the corpse was one of my most favourite parts of the movie and also I believe the book as well.)

I have the book. I still have not read it. I know. I will, I will.

I love the movie. I thought the actors were fine. I mean, this is a movie where I didn't even think of who was playing who until the movie was over. I also didn't "see" Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise or anyone else while they were acting, I saw their characters. They actually, as it should be when you're an actor/actress, made me forget who they were.

Yeah.


Go die.


:P

LOL .....................


OHH MAybe I will make a youtube remake... with stick figure men!!!

I actually liked Tom & Brad as Louis and Lestat. I was only extremely pleased with Kirsten Dunst as Claudia. Antonio looks nothing like Armand should, but looking how he did in that movie, I'm not complaining.

Egad, really? I loved that movie, and the book!

Considering that Anne Rice herself wrote the screenplay and was involved with the filming of it, I have to say I can accept it pretty well.

I thought Pitt and Cruise were -perfect- for the roles. Sure, they can't equal Lestat and Louis on the physical beauty scale, but they both acted the roles -perfectly-, -especially- Tom, who makes a way better Lestat personality-wise than, oh say, Stuart Townsend from Queen of the Damned.

Banderes was the only one that got on my nerves, actually...even though I usually like his acting. Armand wasn't...augh...yeah. He just wasn't Armand..

Agreed; the book was difficult to get through. The Vampire Lestat...and pretty much all the other books 'written' by Lestat...are much much better.

For some reason, they're the only Anne Rice books I like. All the others are difficult for me to get through..

Not a big fan of Anne Rice, though I do have both movies.

It would be nice if they made a trilogy.

If you compare it to the book and expect it to be like the book, it's rather... bad. So much has changed. Who put Antonio Banderas in that role? He looks about 30 years older than the character he's suppoed to be playing XD Plus, Lestat is supposed to look younger (and have a smaller nose! XD), but I sorta liked Cruise as Lestat anyway O.o And in general, I think the actors did a rather good job, even though they didn't perhaps exactly look as the "real" characters should.

As a movie, NOT compared to the book, I think it's really good. To it's defence you could also say that everything in the book would not have fitted. And it still managed to keep that slightly creepy-not-outrageously-scary feeling. Good thing. It's incredibly beautiful, too. One of my favourite movies. ^.^

Well, you can't really ever expect a movie to be exactly like the book...because when you read a book, you form for yourself what the characters look like. A movie could NEVER be right.

Aside from that, books are long, and unless the director and producer want to make zero dollars, they have to crop it to make it fit into about 2 hours.

I am a huge fan (as most are) of the film and book. There were a lot of things cut out of the movie that were in the book, but thats expected from all movies. I think Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt did wonderful jobs in their roles. Both I think, were beautiful men, and their character was captured well, Claudia most of all!

As for Armand, I was disappointed. They took a young, auburn haired youth and made him a dark haired latino? I don't think so.

I love the movie's plot in general, but then there was Armand, who's a Hispanic vampire..... (O_o?) and Tom and Brad not being cut out for vampire roles...

First Anne Rice book I read was 'The Vampire Armand', then read the others in her Vampire series. So, being intimately aware of Armand's personality and appearance, I was very disappointed with how he turned out in the movie. How on earth is Antonio-blasted-Banderas meant to accurately portray an elfin, waiflike vampire on the edge of adulthood? He's meant to be delicate as a porcelain doll, not looming and tanned.
I like Banderas, in his own place. But he's really not a sixteen-year-old auburn-haired Russian boy, is he?
Yeah, Armand's my favourite character in the books. I know it's obvious.

I have arguments with the whole movie- the bits they missed out, the bits they re-arranged, the casting choices... but Ms Rice has approved it, so it's good enough for her and her fans. Thank goodness I'm not much of a fan.
The ending song is perfect, though.... Sympathy For The Devil is a wonderful redeeming point in the film.

Haven´t read the book so can´t compare, but as a movie I think it´s fantastic. There aren´t so many good vampire movies around, at least not since 1979, and this is very well made. The actors were good, also liked Kirsten Dunsts performance the most, scariest of them all... "Queen of the damned" is the opposite, an all over crappy movie.

I still haven't gotten around to seeing it. I read the book, and I enjoyed it. The best part was the discussion about the pangs of hunger for mortality... but it wasn't something that I would really like to continue reading the series for... maybe someday.. I have the second. But the movie looked good enough, and the direction they went with it seemed to be very.. satisfying. Plus, Anne Rice actually liked it.

I didnt read the book but I liked the movie
The only problem was the hair colour of lestat and armand
By the way Queen Of The Damned was great too but its not a horror movie

Yes I agree. A book made into a movie cannot contain all the scenes in every chapter, the movie would go on for hrs and hrs. With a book you can put it down and read more later. I can't imagine being able to do that in a movie theater.

I liked it, I thought it was a pretty good adaption of the book.
Certainly better than some of the books made into movies I've seen.

I enjoyed this movie, but I enjoyed it for the fact I was completely in love with Christian Slater and wanted his babies at the time.

The movie turned from the book was okay, it's not a horrible adaptation. It left in all the things it needed to in order to make sense, and I actually think Tom Cruise was a perfect Lestat. Arrogant, charming, and deadly.

It could have been better. It stayed pretty close to the book (though not all the way, I'll admit). And they could have picked someone a little less familiar than Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise.

However, I couldn't help laughing my ass off at how they pulled off Lestat dancing with the corpse of Claudia's mother. It was so deliciously obscene. XD

I didn't read the book and thought the movie sucked ass.

There is not one thing wrong with this movie.
