Gosh, this must be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I really love Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles and Queen of the Damned is one of the best in the series. I loved her ideas, all the philosophy and the emotions that were in the book... BUT WHAT HAPPENED??? This movie has nothing to do with the book! They just picked out a few characters they seemed to like, mixed up the whole plot and made a 'common vampire film'. Hello??? Did I miss something? A pity Anne Rice sold the rights to Miramax, and I'm also sorry for Stuart Townsend who does his job as Lestat quite good (well, obviously he was the victim of a very very bad director!) If you liked INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE, you won'T like this! Interview submitted the right feeling, but this movie is crap!
