Movie Review for Vampire Academy

I'm trying my absolute hardest to form...positive thoughts, but it's just not working for me. I do not understand how my hopes and dreams of my favorite book series to be made into just as addicting movies could go up in flames so quickly. All it took was the hour and forty something minutes that I sat in front of my flat screen and

...

That's the sound of my dreams shattering.

I knew there was a possibility that I could hate it. I watched the teaser trailer and the trailer and I cringed. It looked ridiculous. A joke! 

& I still had hope.

Richelle said that the movie followed the book closely and that the characters were portrayed excellently and that she loved what they did with the adaptation. 

I thought...

maybe I was being too harsh.

That was a mistake.

The casting for everyone was not how I pictured them. I didn't like any of them. They didn't portray any of the characters from the book, in my opinion. Well, there were two that were to my satisfaction. Mason and Christian. Those two were kind of spot on. A plus to the girl that played Rose was her chest. Her boobs were present in just about everything she wore and I saw Rose in that. Lissa's actress was...a horrible actress. Hard to watch that girl. Dimitri was...ugh. I can't go there. He looked so old and just...not attractive at all.

I'm happy that there will probably not be another movie following this one because Adrian comes into the next one and I would HATE HATE HATE for them to ruin him.

It was hard to follow the movie.

Everyone talked SO FAST and that was the speed of the whole movie...fast forward. Even having read the book multiple times, I didn't know what was going to happen because everything just felt off and different and not what it should have been.

The fighting...omg, fake as shit. Like the graphics and fangs. One part that I thought was awesome was Rose flipping this woman over the stairs. It was pretty impressive.

Basically, I'm disappointed with a lot.

Wish it would have been taken more serious for us fans, instead of trying to bring in a wider spread of people. I think it did the opposite. As the super fan that I am, I didn't even go see it in theater.
