Queen of the Damned (2002)

It's her time. Her place. The wickedly regal Mother of All Vampires is ready again to rule! Aaliyah plays the title role in this stylish shocker based on Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles. Stuart Townsend portrays Lestat, the undead antihero previously seen in the movie version of Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire. This time, Lestat finds acceptance in a tattooed and pierced world. He's a rock star. And his intoxicating Goth-riffed sound rekindles the desires of all-powerful Akasha.

3 stars for the film itself; 5 stars for the DVD; an average of 4

Here's my viewpoint, QOTD as a movie isn't really the best movie I've ever seen. It has its moments, especially the scene between Akasha and Lestat in the pool with rose petals with the song "Change" playing. That's the scene that got me into the movie. I admit, there are some parts I get bored during. But there are scenes that I absoloutely love. The movie is entertaining though, as well as sexy. And Aaliyah is also in this movie, showing if she was not taken from us at such a young age, she had so much to offer us. Stewart Townsend makes a sexy vampire, though I was actually dissappointed that he doesn't look like he does in the film.

Now, the special features on the DVD are great. I love the music videos. I watch those a lot. And the extended concert footage is really good. I've seen the movie 3 times before buying the DVD. I've now owned the DVD for a month and really have yet to watch the movie. I watch the videos. The songs are great. (And I do admit to having a thing for the bassist in the band, which is a big plus when it comes to my love of the videos). The special features are worth it for me. That's the main reason I bought the DVD too. September 19, 2008

So Sexy and Smart.. I LOVED it!!!

I am not sure why people are giving this movie a bad name. I have not read the Anne Rice version I guess her's is better (like always). Either way this movie was so sexy, Lestadt made me want to give myself to him. lestadt made me want to love him and take care of him. I felt closer to the vampire race. This movie really made mewant to be a vampire. I loved the love story. I LOVED the music! The soundtrack is great for love making;-) One of the top 5 best vampire movies I have seen. July 30, 2008

vampires' saga

From Ane Rice's Books this is one of those that went to film. A good novel and a good movie June 17, 2008

One of My Favorites.

This is one of my favorite movies. I really like the songs and I think the actors did a pretty good job. I love Aaliyah, God rest her soul and I think she did a pretty good job for an inexperienced actress. She could have gone far. I liked the way the story of Lestat went and how cocky he got. I would recommend this movie to vampire movie lovers. June 8, 2008
