One of this days, I was going through Youtube and found links to watch The queen of the damned, I had never seen this film, but I had read the book; I had always heard good and bad reviews about it, as you always do, a film is good for ones and bad for others, specially when it's a movie based on a book, so I watched it...
WHAT A MOTHERFUCKING COCKSUCKER BUSFUCKER ASSLICKING PIECE OF WHORESHIT!!!! This movie sucks so many balls in different levels!! The movie is not that bad, but if you know the book you'd rather stick a fat greasy cock in your eyeholes than watching an awesome book get gang banged and fucked like an 18 years old girl in a porn casting.
So, this movie is "enjoyable" is you don't know that it's of a book. I left a comment on the last link of the movie as DTPoe and a guy sent me a message about it, it was a really good review about my comment so i'd like to post the answer I gave (a little edited) as the review of this film, it reveals a lot of the film and the book's plot, so think about that before reading from this point if you have not seen it or read it (and plan to do so). thanks a lot.
-"When i wrote that comment, i never thought it would make such a hit on anyone, actually, i thought all the film fans were gonna rip me a couple of extra ass holes XD
Good to finally find someone who agrees with my opinions, most people have seen the movie but don't even know it comes from the two books (yep, i know it's from The vampire Lestat and The queen of the damned XD) or even know who Anne Rice is.
For the movie I think the change on Lestat's maker was inevitable because of the need of story compression into one and a half hours, but still, in my opinion, I've always felt that Magnus creating Lestat and leaving him for his own was a key on his attitudes and choices farther ahead, many things would have changed if Magnus had been a great loving father or if Lestat had never been orphan not minding who his father was XD Still, i think you are right on the idea that Marius could be his father anyway, but i think the relation between Marius and Lestat works perfectly because of Magnus leaving him orphan. And yes, the separation on the film was so lousy, not the exciting and full of feeling scene that Mrs. Rice describes in her book.
Also, i agree on the statement that a simple storyline works better, but i think that, even being a long story, many things could have been covered as in the book or at least alike, than simply changing the whole plot, It's as if the makers of Interview with the vampìre (to mention a film) had said "Yeah, we are making this book into a movie, but, this characters Lestat and Claudia, no, they have to go" FUCK THAT! It makes absolutely no sense, as if I do a film on Othello, but "sorry Desdémona, no room for you hehe" and hope that it works, and specially talking about the twins, yeah, the plot in the movie works a bit, but you are not watching a movie based on The Queen of the damned and The vampire Lestat, you are watching an "X" vampire movie, as if i ask my grandfather to narrate Moby Dick for me, he's gonna change the whole thing and make up a new ending. I think they were a little lazy in many aspects of the film, sometimes, I've thought the producers put too much effort on the music of the film (which is awesome) rather than the film itself.
Something I always felt displeased, but i think nothing could be done about that, is that, The queen of the damned, In my opinion, is mostly about the origin of vampires and the duality of Akasha, how she tries to make good but as her opinion tells her and how she struggles with what she believes and what is, rather than being a book about a woman that destroys everything and other vampires want dead before she kills them. and it was a big let down that none of that was included in a film called The queen of the damned. As you said, i appreciate the film for some elements, but as i just said, it's an "x" film, not The queen of the damned XD and yeah, the book ending is perfect as you said, the discussion with Marius and the adventure with Louis were key and necessary, and i just hated the representation of that they did in the film, makes me feel like Lestat and Jesse go into David's dispatch in an evil way, not in the naughty playful way i read in the book, not to mention it was Louis and Lestat, not Jesse."-
Well, rip me a new ass hole if you want, i don't fucking care, i could use twenty more, i would spend less time pushing the turd out when shitting. Thanks for reading again, take care.
