I'm not a huge fan of Tom Cruise, and upon realizing that he was playing Lestat I was rather skeptical at first. However, I found his performance outstanding, he just kept surprising me throughout the movie! I still dislike him though lol.

I'm not a huge fan of Tom Cruise.
But I have to say he was perfect as Lestat. In fact I can't think of anyone else in the role.
If any sequels are in the works, they should work quick before Cruise gets too old. -

Tale of the Body Thief (the fourth Vampire Chronicle) is in development, but I doubt Cruise will be returning, though it would be awesome! I didn't mind Stuart Townsend as Lestat and I have nothing against the Queen of the Damned movie (don't judge me) but yes, Tom Cruise is Lestat.

I can't believe you Tom Cruise haters still haven't gotten over yourselves about him after all this time!!When are you guys gonna let it go.I mean his jumping on couches and Scientology beliefs are the real reasons why you guys didn't like him in this movie right?

I've never been a fan of Tom Cruise. However, I've read IwtV, The Vampire Lestat, Queen of the Damned, Tale of the Body Thief, and Memmnoch the Devil, and I have to say that I find Tom to be perfect.
I mean, Lestat is such a pompous, bratty, elegant, playful, clever, sensual, eccentric, dramatic ASS! He's a rockstar of a vampire. He's awesome and he's not afraid to show it. I think Tom portrayed that wonderfully.
He also got the sadness and loneliness of Lestat in there, which I think would have been difficult for any actor to do. Now I can't read the books without getting glimpses of Tom Cruise in my mind.

This was the first film I saw that proved to me Tom Cruise was really an actor. Before this, I had only seen him in some of his blockbusters - none of them Mission Impossible - and I assumed he was just a movie star who made any movie he was in watchable due to charisma. But boy, I was in for a surprise when I saw this; I didn't see Tom Cruise on screen I saw Lestat. And till this day, I have to say that I don't think anyone could have fit the part more perfectly than Tom Cruise. Many are just not willing to give the guy a fair chance.

I think Tom Cruise is an outstanding actor, i don't give a beep about his scientology thing because it just does not interest me at all, and indeed,
in this movie he played Lestat with such strengh,accuracyit is simply amazing.
Tom Cruise is a star, no doubt, but more than anything he's a first class Actor. -

I never did understand the hate. Yes, Cruise has a preferred character style (as do many "great" actors). But when he does break his style, he nearly always pulls an outstanding performance. Ok, his social life may be considered "odd," but I really do feel that his hate is a case of, as The Greatful Dead put it, "can't see the song for the singer."
