Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant

I went into Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant not expecting much based on some of the harsh reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised. The movie has a unique story, fun characters, and a dark yet humorous tone that kept me entertained. The fantasy world of vampires and freaks is visually cool, and John C. Reilly as Larten Crepsley brought a lot of charm to the film. Sure, it’s not perfect, and some parts feel rushed, but overall, it’s creative and enjoyable. It’s worth a watch if you like quirky fantasy movies. Definitely better than people give it credit for! I gave it 5 stars as a PG film and to counter some of the critic's low ratings.

This movie did not get the love it deserved. As someone who read the books growing up, I was a little disappointed but movies never get it right. Series like these should always be shows because there's just too much detail that gets missed. But as a movie, I loved it. Would've loved a sequel

This is such a great watch. The books and the movie adaption were awesome. The critics suck, if anything put the rating pg11+. Remake it into a TV series!

All deserving of a sequel Cirque Du Freak, Scott Pilgrim, War Craft, Bright, Brightburn & Hancock!

Not sure why the rating on this movie is so low... This is one of my all time favorite must see films. The story was great, though a little overly ambitious in how many books it tried to cover. The cast was amazing and did Fantastic, every character complimented the next. The only sad thing is they didn't do a sequel or trilogy. I think this is going to be one of those films that people warm up to over time because it is to good to just fade away. It gave a nice unique take on vampires without being a bloody mess or sparkling. O and I think this is the best performance John Reilly has ever done. All the actors were great but this was the first time I saw John as a real actor instead of just a walking punchline. It proved he was more than his typecast.

As someone who's read all the books the movie was just this incredible disappointment, not really any redeeming qualities about this movie. Honestly it was heartbreaking that the movie was so bad, I loved the books and was excited to see they had turned them into a movie... Well when I had actually watched it, it was a far cry from what I was expecting. Would not recommend anyone who's read the books to ever see this movie. I wish I could un-watch it.

I've read Darren Shan's books in this series. I loved this movie, as strange as it was and loved John C Reilly as the vampire. Adding Willem Dafoe was a fun surprise. This is not a blockbuster by any stretch of the imagination, but a cult movie it definitely is and I've watched it many times.

I don't see why this movie is getting such bad reviews. It's a bit of fun that shouldn't be be taken all that seriously. It had a pretty impressive cast, and I thought it was rather enjoyable.

Did not stay true to the books
