Lack of good storyline.
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
View MoreI was pleasantly surprised by Interview with the Vampire. Aside from the semi-Twilight-vibe, it's actually a decent drama. And Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Kirsten Dunst give some excellent performances. I'm not saying I'm an Anne Rice fan or anything, but it's a well-made vampire movie.
View MoreIt is an interesting movie, but I didn't really understand what is the moral of the movie. However, some of the reviews here on IMDB can explain it a little better. This movie is definitely better for people who read the book and they will probably understand it better, however, as some people have pointed out here, it is probably about a vampire searching for meaning of eternal life.The movie nicely portrays old times, the decorations, costumes, scenery are quite nice. Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt acting are nice. The main actor in the movie is Brad Pitt. There were some confusing moments in the plot and I'm confused why the characters made certain decisions or certain things happened, so that's why I give it a 7, because even if you didn't read the book, you still should pretty much understand everything that happens. Great example are LOTR movies, where the story is explained quite well.
View MoreInterview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles has an interesting premise, I cool the idea of a vampire tells his story to a journalist, most unfortunately the film is only watchable, I found the tiring film, not pace suited me, the cast is excellent , Brad Pitt very well, Tom Cruise this great Stephen Rea, Kristen Dunst still young in this film, Christian Slater, Antonio Banderas and etc, the soundtrack is okay, the costumes are amazing, the look of the clothes is amazing, not to mention beautiful photography, surely the best thing in the film, the direction of Neil Jordan is competent, more Interview with the Vampire: the Vampire Chronicles is just an okay movie, with a barely tapped cast. Note 6.7
View MoreThis film opens in modern day San Francisco as Louis, a man claiming to be a vampire, starts to tell his story to a journalist. His story begins in New Orleans in 1791; Louis is a wealthy plantation owner but he can't get over the loss of his wife and child a year previously. He deliberately puts himself in dangerous situations but rather than getting himself killed he meets the vampire Lestat. Lestat turns Louis into a vampire but he seems no happier and can't bring himself to feed on people; instead he survives by drinking the blood of rodents; something that disgusts Lestat. Eventually he feeds on the housemaid before heading to a plague infected area of New Orleans. Here he bites the young Claudia, Lestat then turns her into a vampire. Louis treats her like a daughter but as the years pass she has difficulties accepting the fact that she will always be a child and eventually takes her revenge on Lestat for turning her into a vampire. Louis and Claudia then travel to the Old World looking for other vampires; what they find isn't what they hoped for.Vampire films usually centre on those seeking to destroy them of their potential victims so it is interesting to see the story told from the point of view of a vampire. Brad Pitt does a fine job as the emotionally tormented Louis and Tom Cruise is impressive as he plays against type as Lestat. Young Kirsten Dunst is great as Claudia; beautifully portraying the girl who is doomed to never grow up. The story is told in an interesting way and the old New Orleans setting provided plenty of atmosphere. As one would expect from a vampire film there is some bloody violence although less than one might expect. The action is important but not as important as the characters and looking at the question of what it means to be a vampire. Overall this is an impressive film that fans of the vampire genre are likely to enjoy.
