Queen of the Damned (2002)

Cast: Aaliyah (Queen Akasha), Stuart Townsend (Lestat de Lioncourt), Marguerite Moreau (Jessica 'Jesse' Reeves)
For complete cast info, see IMDb's Queen of the Damned page.

As a lover of Anne Rice's books, I had high hopes for this one. I know many weren't impressed with Interview with the Vampire, but I enjoyed it. I think Queen of the Damned could have been better done and perhaps I didn't need to rush to the theatre to see it like I did, but I still enjoyed it. Overall, they stuck to the same story that I love. Sure, there were changes made. There are always changes when a beloved book moves to the big screen. I think they did a pretty good job with this one, in spite of the fact that (as with any book one loves) some of the changes bothered me.

Worth the rental, but not rushing out to go see it.

Grade: B-
