Dissapointing to true fans of the series...

Rating: 7/10 (23 March 2004)

I saw this movie before reading the wonderful book by the same title, and I was holy dissapointed when I read the book. The movie excludes some small scenes which make the book the best. Also, the transition of Interview with the Vampire from pages to the screen seems to have lost the raw humor that was present in the books.
The movie wasn't bad, not by any means. But it wasn't as good as the book. I couldn't have picked a better Lestat myself. I adored Tom Cruise in this movie. His hair, his accent, his raw sexual energy! Ah! It makes me want to love him, and I usually hate his acting. Brad Pitt was ok as Louis, but his hair was the wrong color and his accent p***ed me off. It was supposed to be more southern, not Californian.
Overall, the movie was ok, but as a fan of the books by the lovely Ms. Rice, I am a bit dissapointed. ***1/2 out of *****.
