If you haven't seen the movie yet, you might not want to read this. It might give some parts of the film away..... This was by far one of the worst adaptations of a novel to a movie I have ever seen. The only thing that the film had going for it was the sound. They did a great job doing sound effects. Other than that, everything abouut the movie was just wrong. The plot was incredibly shallow. The movements of the vampires were wrong. Vampires move faster than the eye can see, which would mean that you would not see trails. Every vampire in the film could fly. I seem to remember that in the book, Lestat couldn't even fly until after he drank the blood of Akasha. So there is no way that the other vampires would be able to. Another MAJOR flaw in the film is that Lestat says that Marius was his maker. COMPLETELY WRONG!!!!!! In "The Vampire Lestat", he clearly tells us that Magnus made him a vampire without any choice, and then jumped into a fire and killed himself. The movie also left out the legend of the twins. Maharet is not the one that kills Akasha, her sister did. To go even further, they didn't kill her by sucking all the blood out of her. They killed her by cutting off her head, then Maharet ate Akasha's brain, and her sister ate the heart. She then became "Queen of the Damned". I guess what I'm trying to say is that the next time Hollywood attempts to make a film out one of Anne Rice's books, they should probably at least read the book first. That way, they might get the facts right.
