I remember watching this movie ordinally when it first came out. I enjoyed it very much, but, this copy on Shudder buffeted the whole time, throughout the movie. It seemed to skip in chunks as well and I only new that because I saw it way back when. Some of the scenes that did not appear with this version were part of my favorite scenes so when they didn't appear I thought how strange that is. The original was excellent but this version just didn't cut it at all for me. I'm going to give it a good score but this one is a far cry from the original version. Not sure why it got chopped up but it didn't flow like the original. Still a good movie. I'd look for an original copy if you liked this, probably worth chasing up.
Marius is def my fav character.Aalyiah is sexy as playing her character (not sure how to spell it). I just have one issue with it the fans have Triton's, that's wrong as the Triton was the weapon of a Greek god. Love the sound track. I have lost track of how many times I've watched it.
Still a classic with an amazing sound track.
This is one of my all time favourite movies. The book is better, as are all of Anne Rices' books. But this movie adaption is extremely well done.
a classic
