| I thought the Queen of the Damned movie was a terrible, terrible adaptation of the novel. I remember sitting there in the theatre, not knowing whether to laugh my head off, or cry, because it was so bad.
I started reading Anne Rice when I was like around 12, I suppose, so I always have a soft-spot in my heart for her Vampire Chronicles  QotD was my favourite book in the series. I dont think I've ever had some much dislike for a movie adaptation in my life.
Part of the problem was that it tried using elements from The Vampire Lestat AND QotD, and it was just too much and they cut so much out..and it was just..bad. Plus, some of the choices for actors were waaaaay off. I could go on and on
My opinion ofcourse 
As for Twilight..I enjoy the series for what it is..a mindless read. Its not very well writen, and the characters and storylines are kinda lame. And since when to vamps sparkle? But..it is what it is. My favourite character is probably Jacob..which I wasn't expecting. I usually love Vampire characters
ETA: Oh..I just noticed Cryostar's sig about the vamp sparkle  Glad to see I'm not the only one who feels that way.
