SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Now I love the books but even as a standalone movie this is awful. The editing is rushed and makes no sense, one scene Rose is climbing out a window and without even a cutaway or anything in between we get Rose and Jesse about to make out.The characters are sort of like they are in the book but there is far too much attitude. Lissa is meant to be gentle and kind and although the darkness from the spirit does get to her she never takes it out on Rose like THAT. Rose is OK, her behaviour is pretty close to the book and one of the only characters who should be behaving like that. Kirova, my god I just, I was stunned at how aggressive she was being. In the book she's frustrated and doesn't quite understand the situation with Rose and Lissa, she threatens to send Rose to the blood whores but she treats Rose like that because she broke the rules not because she hates and loathes her with every ounce of her very being. OK movie we get it we need to hate her, especially when she pulls out the syringe, seriously movie. Lastly we have Queen Tatania, first of all the Queen is supposed to come in when they are all sat down at tables and the Queen will move around chatting to the Royals if she wants to, its considered a great honour to have the Queen stop and talk to you so that's why its a big slap in Lissa's face when the Queen SUBTLY says while commenting on the power of her names that the name does not make a person. She doesn't just point and scold and she definitely doesn't mention the dead animals (Why the cat, it was a bird in the book), its not meant to be private it is meant to be overheard but she doesn't just say it outright and then she goes on to say I hope you'll turn it around somehow, just no.No, just no, you got the Strigoi right guys good job but um YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SEE THEM UNTIL THE END OF THE MOVIE or at least ROSE ISN'T. That's why she loses the fight at the end not just because its Natalie but because she's the first Strigoi she's ever faced but no you had to introduce them at the very beginning so the audience knows about the 3 types of vampire. You couldn't have just I don't know showed the Strigoi attacking someone who is not Rose.Lastly, there was no mention of Dhampir's biology and genetics. No acknowledgement to why Dhampir's exist and why they protect Moroi which I would think is pretty damn important to the plot especially for Dimitri and Rose as the reason they shouldn't get together isn't just Lissa's safety.I just don't understand why they added so much that wasn't in the book, rivals that don't exist and the cliffhanger at the end makes no sense if you know about Strigoi and how they live.But one thing I liked, a teeny weeny bit, was the last action scene because of Rose's talk with Victor and Natalie as Strigoi was pretty cool, I especially liked when it cut back to Rose and you could see the guardians dying in the background.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME. What is this piece of trash movie, who funded paying for it, and how did they get such a god actor like Zoey Deutch to BE IN THIS MOVIE. WOW, let me preface by saying I really do enjoy movies and try to give them the benefit of the doubt. But watching this movie took every ounce of my will to live. The actors are horrible, the plot is as stupid as it can get, and you literally HOPE more of the main characters die because god knows it would make this movie a little more interesting. ANYTHING, if ANYTHING could redeem this movie, it would be Zoey Deutch's character because at least she has some inkling of a personality, her quips are sharp, and she's got moves. But literally that ray of sunshine is drown in this pile of horse poop. PLEASE DO NOT WATCH FOR YOUR OWN SANITY. Consider this a warning.

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.

Absolutely loved this book series. The movie was terrible. If you are contemplating watch this movie, don't. Its a waste of time. I highly recommend the books. The movie seemed like more of a parody than a book adaptation. When the movie rights were first discussed, I was very excited to see one of my favorite series played out. Disappointed doesn't even begin to describe what I felt when I watched this movie. It was even worth the five dollars I paid to go see it in theaters. The story line was completely butchered and the acting fell flat. The actors were not similar to the book descriptions, and their acting was terrible. The movie appeared to be more of a comedy than an actual developed plot. I would NOT recommend this movie!!
