Who thinks that the film Queen Of The Damned would have been better if they had kept closer to the story?

While the movie was definitely entertaining, I also felt that it was way off the book's plot. I think that if Hollywood is going to make a film reproduction of a book, especially one in a series, and doubly especially one in a series in which another film adaptation has already been made, they really ought to stay as close to the "facts" as possible, because they must know that the literary fans are going to poo poo it if they don't. Was Anne Rice even on board as a consultant? My guess is no.

I base movies/musicals based solely on my enjoyment of them.  It has to be entertaining and a good story, otherwise its not gonna be a favorite.  As an aside - I definitely agree about Wicked - I LOVE it (both because I enjoyed the story and that I saw it for the first time with my best friend.)

Yes there should be a Scary Movie 5 because Scary Movie 4 wasn't that good. And I know they could do better than that!

I kind of like Interview With the Vampire but it isn't one of my favorites.  I was in high school when it came out on theaters and I loved it back then.  The older I get, the quality of this movie goes down.   I agree that Kirsten Dunst's acting was better than all the others.  If I catch it TV, I usually sit down and watch it.  It has been so long since the last time I've seen it, I can't remember what the conversation is about.\n\nIf you haven't read it already, you need to read the book.  The book is absolutely wonderful.  I love the whole series of the Vampire Chronicles.

it was a little disappointing that some parts of the book were omitted in the movie. truth is if you didn't read the book or know nothing about christian history, then watching the movie would be either too confusing or boring.\n\nthe only consolation was seeing the fab performances of tom hanks and ian mckellen.

The book has so much more just like any book turned into a movie. The movie can never measure up. It is a time thing. If they tried to have it all in the movie they would be 5 hours long.

I think it is really good and the fact that all the histories coincides with the crash scene is great job...\nBut I would like that the picture been a little less graphic or with a less contempt of descriptive images...

Both the movies stunk. I liked the original versions better. No the us studios didn't have an original though on this took it from japan. There is a lot of good horror coming from japan. I think making a previous generation glow via nukes gives them a twisted view of things. but makes for some good movies.

just watch it. it might help if you read the book but prolly not cause if you are like me you'll be so busy bitching about how they slaughtered the book that you will actually miss the movie. So maybe it is better not to have read the book. Now having seen the History Channel thingymajigger on it I would suggest that you go into the theatre with a very open mind,cause some of the things that they are suggesting goes against everything that we have been raised to believe (if you were raise Catholic or Christian) or that you have heard around you (which you can't miss unless you live in a cave but obviously you don't so you know what I am talking about!)

i do think the movies should be more close to the books... but i also know it would be too difficult to do it... but i guess there's when the creative side of the filmmakers get into action...they should try to find the way to do it as close as the book as possible... as a conclusion i just wanna say that i was a bit dissapointed of the last movie... they took out so many things

I don't think so.  I believe that one of the biggest components to making the movie so great was the controversial tone of it.  The movie had great cinematography; but without the edge of the characters interplay, it wouldn't have had a whole lot of substance.

The fact that the Church is forbidding people to see it must guarantee some box office for the movie!  So many people read the book too and I'd go see it just for the locations where it shot.\n\nBTW, what part of "fiction" do these protesters against the movie and religous types NOT understand?  Why are they getting their knickers in a twist over a freakin' STORY?  Cracks me up.

I don't think that the point of the story was that it's okay to lie, but the fact that relationships and feelings can be very complicated. And I think that the story makes people think about how important it is to know yourself and be yourself. Also, I think that at the time the movie took place their relationship would have been unacceptible.

Man, that's a hard one. But I think "Baby Jane" is the\ncampiest, if not for the movie itself, because of the\nback story of Betty Davis and Joan Crawford hating each \nother!

Owner Of A Lonely Heart by Yes\n\nI actually attended a preview screening and reccomended the scene be cut because it went on too long.  When the film was released I noticed they did trim it a little and its funnier now.

To be totally honest, I would remake "The Da Vinci Code".  SO MUCH was cut out of the book and made for a very slow movie.  I would have broken it down and made it into two movies, possibly even a trilogy.
