Loved Brad Pitt as Louis
I loved this movie. The only downside for me was:

As much as I like Tom Cruise in everything I've seen him in, I can't help but wish someone more "Lestat"-like had been cast as Lestat. Especially after seeing Stuart Townsend in "Queen of the Damned". Now THAT was spot on. Sexy like Lestat and no bad wig.

But.....LOVED Brad Pitt as Louis. He was perfect in that role. All is forgiven because of Brad Pitt portraying Louis.

Nice casting of Antonio Bandaras as Armand, but after reading "The Vampire Armand (The Vampire Chronicles, Book 6", too bad the actor wasn't more Northern-European-like, or at least had the curly Botticelli-like hair was a big part of Armand's character and attractiveness.

The young Kirstin Dunst was a chilling Claudia.

All in all, a very well done adaptation of Anne Rice's novel but...oh! for a remake with a dangerously sexy Lestat-like Lestat as most of us imagine him...

The Best Vampire Film I Have Ever Watched
I have never watched a film so beautiful, so in- depth, and so mature on vampires. Anne Rice did a great job on picking the right people to make this film. And unlike the film version of Queen of the Damned, a very disgrace to the Chronicles it came from, Interview was very faithful to the story Anne wrote a long time ago. A thing or two was changed, but nothing that affected the movie from it's original storyline.
The actors were amazingly strong and believable and I don't care what anyone says Tom Cruise was the greatest as Lestat. That guy on Damned didn't even take the time to color his hair blonde, for he refused to even look the part of Lestat, while Tom Cruise did everything he could to act and look like him and Tom Cruise poured on Lestat's charm while the guy on Damned was dull and wooden. Tom Cruise did a great job on Lestat, Anne Rice even said so. Brad Pitt was fantastic as Louis and so miserable, exactly like Louis. Armand was played beautifully in Antonio Banderas and yes he was older than Armand actually is but everyone has to admit Antonio did a great job playing the seductive and manipulative Armand. Kirsten Dunst...wow was she a strong character for someone so young. I thought she would hardly be anything, yet as a child she was strong in this film surprisingly. She played Claudia flawlessly. Rea only had a short time in Interview but indeed he stood out as a great actor and of course Slater as the ever curious boy taping the entire story of Louis' held good ground.
Aside from the actors who all did a superb job there was the excellent job on scene and costume and music. All of this was done very well and made this one unforgettable film. The one thing I love about this film though is how it respected the work of Anne Rice's and obviously worked hard to put it in the right mood and put the right actors in to protray the certain personalities. I really respect everyone for doing that, for Interview is a great story that deserved a great film. Anne Rice said she wept when she saw the film, and I didn't weep but I certainly am moved by it. It's my favorite vampire film, and none other has matched up to it for me.

You want cheesy teen fluff you watch Queen of the Damned, but if you want a serious, moving and grown- up look at vampires this is your movie: Interview with the Vampire. It's about a vampire who tells a human a story, about his own life, right at the time when he was born into his life as a vampire. The rest of the film is a rollarcoaster of the vampire's ups and downs and the interesting people he meets along the way with his never ending question: What is the meaning of it all? Sit back and watch a truly amazing tale; if there are vampires, this I believe would be the reality of their lives.

Trulty Entertaining
As an Anne Rice Freak, it would practically be a mortal sin not to comment on the all time best annerice-based movie of them all.

i've watched this movie so many times, i practically know it by heart. i've been watching it for years.

louis, the reluctant vampire, drinks from a dirty little girl he finds in a broken down house sobbing over her dead mother. he's caught by his Maker and companion, Lestat De lioncourt --

"my philospher, my martyr who'd never take a human life!"

-- and runs away, leaving the poor little girl for dead.

lestat, in his utter recklessness and disregard for the consequences of his actions, Makes the little girl into a vampire.

claudia, the child vampire, grows into a woman as the years pass but is trapped in the feeble body of a child. because she will never grow up, she burns with utter hatred for her vampire "fathers" and plans to kill the stronger one and make the weaker one her unknowing slave.

cluadia manages succesfully to cleverly murder (or atleast temporarily hinder) lestat and enslave an utterly devoted louis. even so, she meets her own sticky end in paris, at the hands of the vampire we least expected.

kirsten dunst gives an outstanding performance. her adultlike demeanor is utterly convincing --

"you are evil since you can not be evil! and i shall suffer for it no longer!"

while lestat's frequent comebacks are to die for --

"i assume i need no introduction . .. louis, louis. . . still whinning, louis . . .have you heard enough? i've had to listen to that for centuries!"
