Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Spoiler alert! This is the greatest film ever made. This is surely Nicolas Cage at his best. Cage embodied a vampire so well that I almost felt terrified to go outside my house for two weeks because I truly felt that vampires were real. I died a little inside when the end credits began as I knew that I would never witness a film as brilliant as this one. If there is one downfall to this movie it's that once you see this movie, you will never find one as perfect as this one. That is why I recommend you see every other movie in existence before watching this one as it will truly show the culmination of a 100 years of film history. Or wait until you are on your deathbed and instead of saying goodbye to loved ones, watch this. It would be one hell of a way to go out.

I finally got around to watch the 1988 "Vampire's Kiss" in 2016, and it was about due time, because I had really been missing out on what can only be described as the pinnacle of Nicolas Cage's acting career. You did pick up on the sarcasm here, right?Without knowing what this movie was about, I sat down to watch it, believing that it was going to be an actual vampire movie. And for awhile it also did appear like a vampire movie, albeit a very odd and offbeat one. But then you start to realize that this is actually a movie about a man's decline of mental stability and lack of coherency to perceive the reality of the world around him. And as such, then I will say that director Robert Bierman actually managed to set up the movie in an interesting enough way.However, it was just brought to the point of ridiculousness by the weirdness of Nicolas Cage's acting throughout the course of the movie. Sure, he was portraying a man who was losing his sanity, but it was just too much. And his mannerisms and facial expression was just over the top. And the scene where Peter Loew (played by Nicolas Cage) was scolding his secretary Alva Restrepo (played by Maria Conchita Alonso) in his office, where his expression just turns more and more maniacal is so hilarious. It was so hilarious that this scene alone was worth watching the entire movie for.Maria Conchita Alonso actually did a good job in the movie, just a shame that she didn't have a bigger part in the movie. Nicolas Cage, well, let's just say that he was there all over the screen. This was not his finest moment, but it surely was his most memorable movie moment, no doubt about it.While the storyline is sort of bizarre and twisted, then there is also something entertaining to it. It was interesting to see the decline of Peter Loew and how he started to believe in his own delusions. But as I mentioned just above, it was brought too far by Nicolas Cage's performance.Running at an hour and forty-three minutes, this movie felt more like two and a half hours. It just kept on dragging on and on in what seemed forever. It was perhaps because the movie was lacking momentum and didn't really progress at a satisfying speed, so I was starting to become bored at times.Surely the movie had potential and some aspects of the storyline were really good. But the overall result of the movie was a less than mediocre movie experience, because I wasn't particularly entertained by the movie. And while laughing at Nicolas Cage counts for something, it was hardly enough to lift up the movie as such.

After an encounter with a neck-biter, a publishing executive (Nicolas Cage) thinks that he is turning into a vampire.Okay, looking back from 2015, Nicolas Cage has had one of the most unusual careers in Hollywood. We know he can be a great actor, because we have seen "Adaptation", "Leaving Las Vegas" and others where he just stunned audiences with his portrayals. But we also know he has a habit of picking duds, and at this point he probably has more stinkers than winners.And then there is "Vampire's Kiss", which is a bizarre blend of horror and comedy. It is never quite horror and never quite comedy, sort of existed in this world of nothing... and that just makes it more interesting. That weird accent (somewhere between rich guy and surfer dude). Wow.

What an underrated gem! If you are a fan of Nicolas Cage, this is a must see. Without him, this movie would be awful. Without Nic's tour de force performance this would be a movie you would turn off after the first five minutes of watching it. His performance makes you really wonder how his career would have turned out if he continued to do comedies like this and Raising Arizona. I for one think his career would have been just as successful, if not more. He is absolutely hilarious; every line makes you laugh hysterically. If I had to give this film a letter grade.. Hmm, let me think.. A? B? C? D? E? F? G? H? I? J? K
? Okay, you get the point. (A+ Comedy)
