Vampire Academy

The book series is amazing. I've read it multiple times. But this movie is terrible. I created an account just to tell you exactly how terrible. Rose Hathaway is nothing like her character description. She was meant to be curvy, sultry, and tan. Rose in the movie was skinny, awkward, and pale. Dimitri Belikov is supposed to be attractive. The plot is incredibly rushed. I realize that it's hard to fit the book into one movie, but there is *no* need to take out important scenes while adding in pointless ones. Everything is incredibly tacky. It felt as if the viewer was being force fed way too much information at the beginning. The dialogue was way too cheesy. I started watching it with low expectations, but I still overestimated it. This is the worst film adaptation of a book I've ever seen. And yes, I have read and seen Eragon.

I just say this movie! And I must say, I literally loved it! I don't know why so many people are giving it a bad rating. Sure, there were some minor changes, like the cat, but that is expected in book to movie adaptations. It happens! My best advice to people is not to go by reviews, actually go watch the movie and decide for yourself! You can't tell if you will like a movie based on someone else who possibly went in with a closed mind because they didn't have high hopes to begin with. I can tell you that I went in with an open mind. Yes, they changed a few things, Yes, the movie went by fast, but it was good! Like, really good! My only problem with the film was that it didn't start up again once it was over. I will be going to see it again and again and then buying it when it comes out on DVD. Vampire Academy is not the next Twilight or Harry Potter, it is the one and only Vampire Academy. Decide for yourself if you like it! :)

Disappointed. The actors were okay and could have done a better job, but considering how the writers butchered the story and made it so cheesy, I am inclined to forgive them. Yes, this is geared toward teens, but please.....As the grandmother of teens and young adults, I can attest to the fact that.....Contrary to popular belief.....most teens are highly intelligent, and this movie could have been done on a much higher level.

I loved the books as a teenager, I don't know why it took me six years to get around to watching the movie but I didn't miss out on much, I'll tell ya that! It's a high school movie disguised as a fantasy/thriller, plain and simple, but that's fine It's not terrible... until it is. I would've even said I liked it until the cringe speech at the end by Lissa, cutting off the queen during the assembly and preaching about how teenagers shouldn't be catty. God, that's an oxymoron if I've heard any. 5 stars are for Zoey Dutch and her charisma. She did what she could with what she was given and I'm only sorry that we won't see more of her as Rose (and Dimitri calling her Roza *swoons in Russian*) eventhough I'm glad there isn't a sequel. So yeah, it's nothing on the books but we already knew that didn't we.

This is my first review on this site, I've watched plenty of movies, good and bad. This is not in either of those category's. It's simply, awful. People who give this a 10 (or above 5) don't have a single idea what a movie is supposed to be like. And for those people I advice watching a single movie out of the top 250 rated movies on this website (some of them might be bad as well, but not on this level of bad). I was gonna say watch a decent movie, but those people wont have a single clue what a decent movie should be like. This movie is bashing Twilight, but they're actually worse than Twilight, how ironic. I couldn't finish watching this movie, it was just too painful to watch .

Honestly, I don't see how anyone over the age of 10 can think this tripe is anything near entertaining or even watchable. It's honestly probably the worst film I've ever seen. The script, the acting, the production value is all just awful. Just plain cringe worthy.

This is the first time i have written a review, I usually just read them but i was so shocked by all these good reviews i had to. I read the whole series and LOVED the books.With that being said, the movie sucked, it was just such bad acting. I was most disappointed in Rose Hathaway. I loved her in the book, and the movie just did not do her justice. In the book she was a bad ass and serious about being a protector to Lisa, while also having that smart ass personality, this is not how they portray her in the movie. All these good reviews must be from people who did not read the book. I don't think we will be seeing the rest of the vampire academy books on film.

Vampire Academy is far from great. It suffers with its fast pace, confusing topics, bad characters, and a terrible script. The story itself isn't so awful but the characters just don't make it fun. The main love interest, Dimitri, was so bad. His acting was flat. I could clearly see the other actors/actresses trying their hardest, though. The music selection for this movie was terrible and did not fit the movie at all. However, I will say that the directing and fight scenes were great. At least it's entertaining.

Wow! This movie is great! its fun and true to the book! I LOVE this movie as much as I love the books!! It is a very good adaption. It's a funny and amusing and has interactions that everyone can relate to. It on the stresses importance of friendship and has a strong and funny female character that is very lovable because she is strong and independent and very different form most main female characters in movies.It is better then Twilight and its is a fresh fun take on vampires. The story is a good one and it only gets better. It over all is a GREAT movie and a MUST see. Take a group of close friends and enjoy this EPIC movie. Its very much worth it! The love for this movie can not be expressed enough!

I went into this movie knowing it was to be a comedy/ action movie but boy, the one-liners were so cheesy. You have movies like a haunted house 2 out and you know they are just stupid goofy movies. The comedy in this movie was even worse than the parody movies.Maybe if I was a teen, maybe it would have been funny; but unfortunately I am a 32 year old male with a pretty good sense of humor in which i did not find not one thing funny in this movie. Sorry but it sucked..... literally. With that also been said I see why it was such a dud once it hit theaters; must have been word of mouth. Unfortunately it was this or That Awkward Moment for today's matinée but I turned that off 15 mins. I should have did the same to this.
