Vampire Academy Movie (spoilers)

H has been oot all week and I finally got so antsy I needed to do something!  I saw the movie by myself and actually really enjoyed it.  It's obviously not going to win any awards or anything but for its purpose I think it succeeded.  

I read Vampire Academy so long ago I had forgotten some important details that were cool to be reminded of on film.  They had to cut some things out obviously (like I wish they had spent more time on Lissa and Christians relationship) but overall they stayed very true to the book.  I thought the actors were all good and especially liked the portrayal of Rose.  I didn't find movie-Dmitri as sexy as I had pictured him but I think the actor did a good job with the character.  Rose and Dmitri are one of my favorite novel couples so I was totally cheesing at the end.  

The movie is definitely worth seeing.

Re: Vampire Academy Movie (spoilers)

  • Glad to hear it's worth seeing. The trailers make it look like a hack job of a movie.

  • Yay!! I am looking forward to this movie! I am glad to hear it is good! I totally agree with Dimitri. The actor doesn't do anything for me.
  • Yay! I'm really looking forward to this one. Hopefully I will get to see it in the theaters sometime

  • I'm so glad to hear that! When I saw the previews it looked like a Mean Girls remake with vampires.

    I loved this series so was disappointed to see the trailer, but you now have me feeling a little more optimistic.

  • I saw it last night. I actually liked it. For what it was, it was fun and campy and they did a decent job with casting. Rose was awesome. I just wanted to put her in my pocket and take her everywhere with me. Dmitri was cute, not SUPER HOT like he's supposed to be, but he did a good job with the role. I laughed out loud a few times.

    Full disclosure: I had a lot of wine while watching the movie.
