This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Absolutely the worst movie.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
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
I feel like they had many really attractive people in this movie to make up for the bad acting skills. But some scenes were not too bad. I think the actors were not good at expressing sadness, shock, or anger. There were also quite a lot of actors that I have seen before in this movie. It is not terrible, but not the best movie I have ever seen (actually not even close). It is funny, because the first time I saw this movie, I thought it was such a good movie, but the second time I watched it, i really had a lot of criticize about it.
I suppose the premise for VAMPIRE ACADEMY, the latest vampire-themed young adult film adapted from a book, is TWILIGHT meets HARRY POTTER. That's certainly the theme here as the plot involves age-old aristocratic vampires, both good and bad, and the students of a vampire academy who swot up on vampire lore.What it amasses to isn't very much at all. This is a weak emulation of a typical American high school movie complete with grating British accents and some truly horrid performances from the young cast members. Indeed, some of the actors in this I found completely excruciating, particularly the leads. Their dialogue sounds hollow and feels false, which is little surprise considering how it aches to be oh-so-hip and down with the kids.As is usual for this genre, a couple of old-timers are wheeled out like forgotten waxworks; Joely Richardson and Gabriel Byrne are the ones foolish enough to sign up in this case. Olga Kurylenko is here too, although she has so little screen time that I wonder why she bothered showing up on the day. The whole film is a joke from start to finish, with rubbish direction and some of the fakest fight scenes I can remember watching. The only wonder comes from wondering why they bothered shooting it in the first place.
I finally watched vampire academy on cable and all I can say is that it's completely not what I expected. If you are a fan of the books you will absolutely love this film. The main characters are well played. You will love the fun script and face pace. All I can say is sequel pleaseThe scenes give you a good flow from how the books set up the scenes. I am very excited to this band of actors p,ah the roles through the series of books and Give us a view into this world. The film drives us into the world of these young royal group of vampires coming of age and facing what we all know too well.
