Movie Review
Grade: C-
Warner Brothers had slated Queen of the Damned for direct-to-video hell, but then Aaliyah died and this movie based on the third book of the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice was given a theatrical release. I would like to say that the motives behind this were purely honorable, such that they were allowing Aaliyah's last film to reach theaters for her sake, but I doubt the move was anything but business-oriented. In fact, if Warner Brothers had decided to keep Aaliyah's best interests in mind, they would not have released Queen of the Damned at all, because it really sucks - forgive the pun.

Queen of the Damned, by Brittni R.
October 12, 2005
This movie was so good, I was in a trance watching the whole thing. The music was great, Stuart did wonderful. Everyone in the movie was great! I haven't read the books, but i will now. I don't think it matters if it was different from the book, it was still good! Alot of movies that are based on books are normally really different than the book, and they should be, IT"S A MOVIE!
Great job guys!
