Erika (17788 KP) rated Queen of the Damned (2002) in Movies

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.

It's undeniably 80s, but that's part of it's charm. It's atmospheric with a great soundtrack and a rather impressive cast. Vampires have been done to death over the past however many decades but The Lost Boys really brings a fun yet still fairly scary take on them - there's loads of dark humour in this and yet some pretty creepy scenes too and some twists and turns. It moves at a steady pace without ever dragging, and the final act is an aamzing spectacle- the blood, gore and outlandish deaths are both genius and wickedly funny. My only criticism would be that there are a few cliched and cringey moments, but fortunately these are few and far between and overall this is a hugely enjoyable and entertaining vampire film. Very deserving of being a cult classic.

The story behind this about racial injustice and the issues that are being faced in real life, especially in America, is important and I’d never deny that. I think the problem with this film is that it’s very slow. It starts off well and fairly fast paced, but within the first hour it starts to drag, lose it’s momentum and point, and could easily have had a lot of the filler cut out without detriment to the story. I’m also not entirely sure the two main characters are particularly likeable, especially Queen, and their actions and choices are often rather bizarre and don’t make sense. It’s a shame, because this film is actually well made with a great soundtrack and feel. I just wish they’d cut it down to make a much more fast paced story.
