Somewhat interesting vampire movie, but at the same time it is also a bit boring.

Rating: 6/10 (19 February 2004)

This movie has its highs and lows in it, for the most part the first half was good and the second half was rather dull. Ironically, Rice hated the fact Cruise was picked for Lestat, but he did the best job in this picture as far as I could see. Once he exited the movie the energy level went down and I couldn't wait for it to end. The main problem is Pitt, who pardon the phrase, was as stiff as a corpse. Through the entire movie he just seemed bored. Once Cruise left we are stuck with him and then they introduce a very bland Banderos who also offers very little. Dunst does rather good as the girl vampire and Slater is also good, though he is not in this one very much. What to say about the plot, there sort of is none. It is mainly Pitt telling a reporter about his early days as a vampire, nothing to horrific is really featured in this one. Just a bunch of people in those old time clothes. Though it was somewhat good still, mainly because of the Cruise scenes which were funny in a demented sort of way.
