One of my all time favorites.

Nice effects though.

Don't Believe the Hype

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I am a huge fan of the books! I have read this series at least 6 times! There were some problems with the movie, I'm not gonna lie. But, I expect a better out come for the next. Ever since I saw the first movie, i have been looking forward to seeing the next one. Please make frostbite. These books made me love reading.

I do not ever do movie reviews but I actually had to say something about this slapped together piece of garbage that these people try to pass off as the movie version of Vampire Academy. First off I would like to say: I love Vampire Academy, it is one of my favorite novel series and I am actually ticked off that they made this pile of hot steaming bull poop.So here are my issues (and this is just the first 15 minutes of an almost 2 hour movie): #1 Lissa has an accent???? She grew up in America, with Rose and Natalie, and They have No accent but Lissa does?!?!?!?! I am really, really confused about that. #2 Rose is half Turkish, she should be pretty well brown, she should look more Persian than white, and is supposed to be shorter and slightly curvy and muscular since she trains all the time. #3 There is no Strigoi fight when they arrived back at the school (I re-read the beginning of the book to verify this because I was SO confused!) #4 Dimitri is not hot, at all, he is supposed to be god-like and drop-dead gorgeous and this guy is a lanky, ugly, weirdo and is Not Dimitri. #5 Why is Rose so Bitchy towards Lissa??? They are supposed to be bonded to each other and all she does is bitch at her the entire movie. #6 Sonya Karp is supposed to be a red-head and actually insane.... Whoever they chose for her did not come off as crazy, just a little nosy.Anyways, I have to stop because I am so very annoyed at this pile of crap they pass off as the movie version of one of my favorite novel series because this movie sucks big, sweaty, hairy balls.

Major SpoilerFirst, i would like to say the story line was all messed up and even when they did a scene from the book they did it all wrong like when Lissa has that nightmare in the beginning. Lissa and Rose share a room in the book, And in the movie they don't. Then their was the motorcycle thing she did in the movie that wasn't in the book. i knew some thing's they might have adjusted but it's like they didn't even read the book. The girl who played Rose wasn't who i imagined Rose to look like, the girl who played Lissa either, they did everything pretty much wrong. The guy they got to play Dimitri wasn't bad but he wasn't good either. And the headmaster as well. If they are going to do book series they should do a TV series instead of movies because when they do book series that are turned into movies they usually don't get it right, rarely they do tho. what sucked even worse was that most of the funny parts are taken out or tweaked. I could give the people who directed this a thumbs up for trying but that's it.

Yes it is true that vampire Academy was better than I expected, but that doesn't mean that it didn't have it's flaws. The characters in this movie in my opinion were very well portrayed by the actors and well written. I especially loved Sarah Hyland's performance in this film, strong and well done on her part. The special effects were pretty cool to see. The script and the dialogue wasn't exactly great, but it was alright. The problem I had with this movie was the pace, the pace in the beginning was very slow and it felt like it was dragging, but it eventually quickens up. The action sequences are pretty fun to watch and aren't too gory. The costume design is well done and sharp. The sex scenes, which there is only about two aren't too graphic and are very sensual and will shot. I did enjoy the budding romances is between certain characters, that was refreshing. I really loved the lead actress and her character, I thought that character was very well done for the film. This movie also has kind of a twist ending which I really loved, I always love a good twist ending! There is also a good bit of eye candy to enjoy, the main male actors aren't too bad to look at haha. Overall, it's pretty enjoyable, but flawed as well. Vampire Academy receives a 6/10 from me.
