New Times (L.A.)
Since the movie arrives and succeeds as entertaining B-movie fare, we may as well appreciate all of its howls, beastly or unintentional. - 50
Philadelphia Inquirer
At its best, Queen is campy fun like the Vincent Price horror classics of the '60s. At its worst, it implodes in a series of very bad special effects. - 50
Miami Herald
The original rock songs on the soundtrack, which are supposed to make Lestat ''bigger than Elvis,'' are terrible -- a common challenge for movies about fictional musicians. - 50
Chicago Sun-Times
It is happy to be goofy. - 50
Boston Globe
Degenerates into a lot of dull declaiming and attitudinizing, despite a sly tongue-in-cheek quality brought by a preening Stuart Townsend to the Lestat role he inherited from the utterly humorless Tom Cruise. - 40
Chicago Reader
The result is an exploitation movie that seems like it's about something -- though what exactly I couldn't say. - 38
New York Daily News
The main theme is the loneliness of the social outcast. That, plus a soundtrack to wake the undead, and the morbidly entombed presence of Aaliyah, will attract an audience despite the movie's intrinsic cheesiness. - 30
Wall Street Journal
Knows that it's junk and tries feebly to rejoice in its junkiness.
