Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

merelyaninnuendo Interview With The Vampire : The Vampire Chronicles3 Out Of 5Interview With The Vampire : The Vampire Chronicles is an interesting take on one's usual vampire tale, especially since it focuses less on the characteristics of it and more on the revenge aspect of it. The chemistry among the characters is acted out and written brilliantly especially in its first two acts where diplomacy brews among them which grows into a behemoth rage of vengeance and spirals out its plot with an eccentric push. It is rich on technical aspects like costume design, art design, editing and sound department. The script is not as smart as the makers think but it surely is gripping enough to keep the audience engaged and invested in it. Addition to that, the makers uses their star power wisely and draws in most of the attention from it.Anne Rice; the writer, has done an amazing work on creating a high pitched tensed drama among its three dimensional characters where Neil Jordan; the director, is merely supporting her on its execution where he should have been more expressive and accurate on his vision. The performance is objective is utterly satisfied by the protagonist Brad Pitt and his supporting cast Tom Cruise, Kirsten Dunst and Antonio Banderas. Interview With The Vampire : The Vampire Chronicles is a thought-provoking but an over-stretched interview which may not be as nutrient but is surely juicy.

2karl- Well this film is gave 8 out of ten its just under 2hrs and an irish man directs neil jordan gets the best of both worlds its like a game of twp halves with tow off hollywoods biggest stars. Tom Cruise and brad Pitt with the up and coming star Kirsten Dunst stealing the show. The book of the same name . The undead are among is and livelier than ever in this box office smash hit. Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt star as young bloods in this film . This film has everything in it . its dark cruise plays an evil vampire and charismatic vampire called Lestat , Pitts character Louis lured be Lesat into immortality of the damned , then tormented by an unalterable fact of vampire life to survive , he must kill Stephen Rea Antonio banderous christin Slater and Kirsten Dunst offer plenty off back up . you would be hypnotised by this film interview with a vampire offers loads of thrill and shocks and fun, people who like dark thrillers

Dalbert Pringle For me - When it comes to the likes of vampire movies - I'd say that they can all easily be slotted into one of these 3 following categories - Good - Mediocre - Awful.And - With that said - I will give you just one guess as to which category I place "Interview".Without question - This dreadfully disappointing horror film's 2 biggest and 2 most damaging deficits were, of course, the total miscasting of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt into the story's all-important lead roles.It was especially the casting of Cruise (Mr. Zero-Charisma, himself) as the "Lestat" character that promptly brought "Interview's" potentially promising story down to an absolute dead halt.It seems that every time I see Cruise in any picture - I'm always left completely perplexed as to why the hell his vast popularity (and roles in big-budget productions) continues to prevail. 'Cause if there ever was a totally vacant, empty-headed, amateurish actor to successfully endure in Hollywood Heaven - Cruise would definitely be the one.

generationofswine On one hand, I always Hated the Anne Rice take on vampires...OK, sure, "Queen of the Damned" was an awesome and fun book that read like a comic book. It was really good but...but beautiful vampires...no.I applaud the Gay thing. It was written in 1976 well before even don't ask don't tell. It took brass to do that and shame on Neil Jordan for leaving it out. The book, I feel could possibly have done a lot for civil rights, normalize it in the mind of Americans and the movie, with Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, and Antonio Banderas, well it could have been as hard hitting as Rage Against the Machine if they left it in.It took pure brass to write in that way in 1976 and feet of clay to leave it out of the movie. And after "The Crying Game?" Shame on the producers. That's probably more their fault than Jordan's.Still, beautiful sensitive vampires? No. They feed on blood, wouldn't they have every BBP on earth? Look when it was set? Louise and Lestate should have syphilis.Besides, they are evil, right? Vampires are evil and that is why Blade and Buffy and Harker hunt them and kill them. They aren't beautiful creatures that you pity and love. They are evil creatures that you kill.Anti-Vampire rant aside...the movie is beautiful. Neil Jordan knows how to make movies beautiful and he pulls out all the stops in "Interview with the Vampire." It is just a stunning movie to watch.And, though I really do hate how Anne Rice writes vampires...I read her anyway. Her stories are always sublime...with the exception of "Queen of the Damned" which was the hard rock version of her otherwise cool jazz stories.Her stories are set in New Orleans--mostly--sometimes Frisco, but they always seemed to remind me of the coldest Chicago winters. It reminds me of when I find myself tucking against the frigid wind as I walk down a street that would otherwise be booming with people and action.Her stories are visceral and sublime at the same time and Jordan captured that well. Even people like me who hate how she writes vampires still read her because of how she writes.The story is as jaw dropping as Jordan's direction.My only lament is that it could have been a civil rights springboard and they passed on that chance to make the world a better place through cinema.
