Valutazione di juliaperlkvist
I hesitated for YEARS to watch this movie, because Interview with the Vampire is one of my absolute favorite movies and based on the summary ("Lestat becomes a rock star and awakens an ancient vampire queen") it sounded awful, like some cringey fanfiction written by a 14-year-old on Wattpad. Nevertheless I finally decided to give it a chance, and... well it was exactly that.
To get some of the positives out of the way first, there are a lot of very gorgeous aesthetics, some great outfits, and plenty of good music. But that's where the good things end. I can imagine young teens loving this just for the aesthetic feast that it is, but the characters and plot and dialogue are all just painful.
It's hard not to compare this to Interview, and it certainly pained me to see Lestat as an entirely different character. Trying to think of this movie as its own thing helps it somewhat, but it by no means saves it. Plenty of very cringeworthy dialogue, so bad in fact that I almost turned the movie off very early on. The overall plot feels very "hey kids what if we made Lestat a cool rocker dude with leather pants and an open shirt, the kids like that stuff, right?" in the worst possible way.
To my understanding this is two books smashed into one movie, and it REALLY shows. The plot feels extremely rushed to the point where it almost doesn't make sense, and plenty of characters are included with practically no backstory or even context. Who are these people and why should I care? Definitely one of those situations where a movie cannot possibly flesh things out enough in its limited runtime so everything feels rushed and unexplained and hardly makes sense to anyone who hasn't read the book(s).
It really hurts to see that there IS potential here. This could have been a good movie. Not faithful to the books perhaps, but it could have been a good movie. Disconnect it from Interview to avoid comparisons (as well as inconsistencies in timelines and lore), make the dialogue less cringey, maybe remove some characters and minor plot points that there isn't enough time to explain. A musician vampire - who is not Lestat - could work under different circumstances, and a queen of the vampires could also work. Just done differently.
I will simply pretend that this does not exist as related to Interview, just as I pretend season 4 of Sherlock doesn't exist.
