Vampire Academy (2014)

Too much of everything

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Rose Hathaway (Zoey Deutch) is a Dhampir, half human/vampire. She guards Lissa Dragomir (Lucy Fry) a Moroi. The Moroi are peaceful mortal vampires who perform magic based on the elements. Rose guards Lissa from bloodthirsty, immortal Vampires, the Strigoi. Rose steals Lissa, who is also a princess, from the academy as they hide out, only to be discovered and returned to St. Vladimir, the Hogwarts for vampires.Like the Harry Potter series, in addition to dealing with serious life and death issues, our girls must cope with being a teen and all the puns that go with being a vampire. Yes, the stakes are high. Zoey Deutch gives us a refreshing performance and I haven't been so much in love since Jordana Brewster in D.E.B.S. The plot has some good unveiling.This is fun teen film.Parental Guide: No nudity. One near F-bomb. Brief sexual situations

Holy moly you guys I am the most baffled person ever?! I can't get over the fact how much fun I had watching this movie. I watched it because I wanted something to really switch my mind off, long day, stress and all, and I wanted something that is so bad that it's already good but - it was REALLY good! :D Yeah of course it was cheesy where it could be cheesy, the fight scenes were sometimes awkward, the editing could have been better, so that non-book-readers understand more of the movie, BUT ALL IN ALL, there were scenes and dialogues where it was just so much more mature than any other vampire/dystopian/young adult movie?! I'm still like, wow. I really liked it, I laughed so much, and not because it was awful. Which I hadn't anticipated would be the case!

Vampire academy is one of the few teenage vampire stories that deviates from the well trodden path of a weak insipid girl falling in love with a handsome rich vampire. Rather it is a story of friendship and all that encompasses a teenage girls life. It's not a story of a swooning girl but rather a girl fights for what she believes in. it's a story filled with an amazing sarcastic humour and fight scene. You never get bored but are hooked till the end. it's a versatile movie i promise even the boys will enjoy. It's easy to fall in love with the characters that the actors portray so well. As with all movies that are based on books and hard core fans will be disappointed bit even they will love watching their dearest characters come alive on screen. It's hard adapting a book but the directors don't do the characters an injustice but rather seem to enhance their qualities. it's a fun entertaining movie to watch to help you relax and forget life for a while. who don't like vampire stories that too one which is entirely different from normal story lines, i am very much thank full to Flickstree for recommending this particular film.

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.
