Michael Ledo 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

Alice Mia The books are probably one of my favourite series out there. I was really excited for the screen adaptation only to be met with one of the worst movies ever made. Everything is cheesy and they skip so many important parts. Shame. They should redo it with the right actors who had 0 chemistry and a whole better director.

Sensiblecuban(k) This was a pretty good movie but I think the way they made the trailer made the movie seem like a little kids movie. I think if they continued it, it would be a really great Sequel series better than twilight. I reed the books and I have to say the story line is original and I would watch the movie series if it came out. I give it an 8 out of 10 just because it could have been better but it seems like they were holding back. Thats another time that networks do not continue what they started at least to the 2nd sequel. I am starting to think these networks can no longer recognize talent or quality any more. It gets frustrating to get involved with a show,movie, or book(that gets made into a movie) and it leaves you hanging not knowing what happens next and have to fight 10 years to get a sequel like Ellen Degeneres.

avidmoviewatcher1221 The Vampire Academy series written by Richelle Mead is one of my all-time favourite series ever. I will continue to re-read the books because they are that awesome. However, I can't say that I would re-watch the movie inspired by the books, mainly because . . . well, it sucked.I feel like there were so many things wrong with this adaptation. Like, the majority - if not all - of the characters were miscast; the actresses who played Rose and Lissa were far from how I imagined them in the books, and they could've cast people who could actually embody these characters I love. The same goes for Christian - I like the actor as Jace in the Shadowhunters, but I don't think he was right person to play Christian. There were so many unintentionally funny parts, and they are, like, the only goods things about this movie. For me, they basically made it Mean Girls with vampires. And to be honest, I don't think it can be compared to Twilight; they have both have vampires, yes, but they are still completely different from each other. It really devastates me that I didn't like this movie. I really, really wanted to, but I really, really couldn't. A while ago, I remember seeing Julie Plec, who developed The Vampire Diaries into a TV show, and who created its spin-off, The Originals, tweet about making Vampire Academy, along with others, as a TV show. And to be honest, I would love that; not only do I feel like I can trust her, but I believe making Vampire Academy is a better idea; they did that with City of Bones, which was rebooted as a TV show called Shadowhunters - which I love - and Tomorrow, When the War Began, which was rebooted into a TV show, as well - though I loved the movie for that. So why not Vampire Academy?Anyway, this adaptation didn't work for me, and I hold out for Vampire Academy to get its second chance on-screen - with a completely different cast (I will come up with my own dream cast), script (and if there are any changes, they have to make sense), and, of course, developers (like Julie Plec).
