Erika (17789 KP) rated Queen of the Damned (2002) in Movies
Jul 26, 2020 (Updated Jul 26, 2020)
This movie was a hack job and sought to combine the Vampire Lestat and Queen of the Damned into a movie under 2 hours. It's a poor adaption, and that's all I'm going to say about that.
Stuart Townsend wasn't a bad Lestat overall. Of course, he didn't look like him at all, and his backstory was... again, this was a hack-job. There were numerous plot holes and it just ends... It's strange.
Aaliyah was alright, and I think it suffered because she passed just after principle photography. I'm sure with re-shoots, this film may have been better. RIP Aaliyah.
The best part of this entire film was the soundtrack, written by some dudes from KORN. It was sufficiently moody, and honestly, I wouldn't mind if they scores/wrote the music for the new series. The music is the only reason I rated this as high as I did.
