Having read all the Vampire Chronicles, you can easily follow the story in Queen, but that's one of my problems with this movie. Unless you have read the books, all the motivation for the characters is missing. Lestat's reasons for Having read all the Vampire Chronicles, you can easily follow the story in Queen, but that's one of my problems with this movie. Unless you have read the books, all the motivation for the characters is missing. Lestat's reasons for going centre stage with the band, Akasha's motivation for rising and killing the vampires and the men (not people, as depicted in the movie, but just men), I could go on. In essence, it's all just a bit of flashy vampire camp without even a hint of the depth of the novels. I would love to see someone do a proper Vampire Trilogy, which treats the story with respect. So, if you haven't yet read the books, get to it :-)… Expand

A cheesy, rock n' roll fueled vampire flick. One decked out in gothic attire and flashy visuals. The characters are pretty goofy and the performances are hammy.

Yet it's not without it's entertainment value. We get to listen to some great tunes and everybody looks really sexy. Jonathan Davis of Korn does the writing and performances of vampire Lestat's music. Stuart Townsend just provides those rock star good looks, style, and confidence.

Townsend is actually pretty great here. Yeah, his dialog and performance are both cheesy, but he's totally committed to the goth, vampire, rock star persona. The whole movie is really. The writing isn't all that great, but it delivers a sense of style that's pretty appreciated. I just wished it delivered on more horror.

This vampire doesn't have much bite. You'll plenty of people get munched on, but it's actually not very bloody. It bares it's fangs in a suitable for most audiences kind of way. There isn't really any horror to be found here.

It's just another vampire flick all concerned about the glamour. It's world and vampires are made to look as stylish and sexy as they can. Once again these monsters go mainstream and lose any of the fear they once had in cinema. At least this one is kind of fun and has a great soundtrack to support it. It's nowhere near vampire greatness, but it's far from your worst option. Personally, I just wish these guys would be scary again.… Expand

The beginning of the movie was a mess. The effects were a little dated, but not terrible. The second half of the movie was almost the only part worth watching, too bad you need to see the beginning to understand most of it. Assuming of The beginning of the movie was a mess.
