the best vampire movie ever!!!
rarely when a movie is made based on a book does it truly do the book justice. in this instance, it does the book justice. it is so much like the story that i was amazed that it was possible to do so. it has been my favorite movie for about 6 years now and i would recommend this to anyone who likes vampires. i hope that they do more of anne rice's storys on the big screen, but only if they are more like this one than the way that the queen of the damned was done.

Captivating, Grabs You and Keeps You, The Best Film Ever!.
Tom Cruise is EXCELLENT, this movie tops out at number one for the best performance of Tom Cruise's career. He plays the Vampire Lestat, a vain and ruthless immortal who longs to fill the loneliness of immortality. Lestat comes across Louis de Pointe du lac (preformance by Brad Pitt )in 1791 who is suffering from the death of his wife and child. Louis longing to be released from the pain of living is offered the choice by Lestat to "live forever". This film is the best performance that Brad Pitt has ever given, he plays a convincing Louis de Pointe Du Lac who cannot accept what has became of him and refuses to take human life. Kristen Dunst a marvelous new comer gives an outstanding performance of the Vampire Child "Claudia" who is forever sealed in the body of a 6 year old. Antonio Banderas gives an equally outstanding performance as "Armand" the oldest vampire that Louis comes across during his search for answers to the meaning of his vampire life. This movie is one of the best films since Gone with the Wind or Casablanca, Anne Rice the author of the book Interview with the Vampire is outstanding. Her novels are a breathe of fresh air to the literary community, this is not your everyday vampire novel. Her Vampire Chronicles give depth and meaning to life's age old questions. She makes you think, while taking you into the beautiful centuries of the past. You are sure to come away from this film wanting more.

DOESN'T LIVE UP TO THE HYPE
To begin with, I'm not sure why I expected anything good from this movie, since the novel upon which it is based is itself so overrated. But I guess I keep hoping somebody will recapture the magic of Bela Lugosi's "Dracula" on film. Typically, those hopes were in vain. "Interview" is a pretentious, overblown disappointment from beginning to end, and it's hardly Tom Cruise's fault. The script is unfocused and melodramatic, and the whole vampire-as-tragic-hero concept is ridiculous anyway. The cast is excellent but given their material failure is inevitable. Production values are good and the film looks nice but never goes for the spectacular--this is meant to be a character-driven story, but the characters themselves are too unmoving to carry the unwieldy plot. The best thing about the source novel is the ending, but the movie botches even that. Might be okay if you really think being a vampire would be way cool, but most of us know better than that. Unsatisfying on every level, this is one "Interview" you'll want to miss.
