amazing is the only word that comes to mind......

Rating: Null/10 (21 May 1999)

amazing is the only word that can describe this movie...i am an Anne Rice fan, and i have read all her vampire chronicles and most of the rest of her books...since the screenplay was written by her, the movie captures everything about the book that should have been captured...Lestat is finally portrayed in the flesh, a chance for all us Lestat admirers to see what he really might look like (though i doubt he looks like tom cruise) tom cruise plays lestat brilliantly, and brad pitt captures every little depressed mannerism of louis....and the most surprising performance was that of kristen dunst...her portrayal of claudia was absolutely horrifying (in the best sense of the word) her character was supposed to be horrifying, a mature woman trapped in a child's body, and kristen was perfect....her make-up made it all the more real. i believe this is one of the most amazing movies of all time, and truly it tells how it is, not how we think it is!
