Saw VAMPIRE ACADEMY last night!! So awesome that Richelle Mead's work is on the big screen! By the end of it though, I had slim hopes that this is going to make it into all 6 movies if they do one book per movie. Yeah, I guess vampires are in right now and while Vampire Academy was such a great read, I don't see how people who haven't read the books are going to see if for the awesomeness that it is.
Everything was jammed pack. My bf who hadn't read the books said it felt like things were going way too fast. There were a lot of things they were trying to fit in there and he could tell many things were probably lost in the movie that happened in the book. It's been a couple of years since I read the first book and there were things happening in the movie where I just wondered, How did they come up with that? I was disappointed that Rose wasn't as bad ass in the fighting department but I'm probably remembering the Rose she turns out to be :) Overall, I do like the actresses who played Rose and Lisa. Rose is hot and she does look like she can kick some ass... eventually. Lisa is cute and sweet.
What I didn't like is Danila Kozlovsky who played Dimitri. I wish he didn't look so old and wanted him to have a muscular slim frame. But the worst is his face - just not attractive to me at all.. whhhyyyyyy did this happen?!?! So I looked up Danila online for more pics of him and he's got some good looking pics out there! Why didn't he look like THAT in the movie?! I hope if there's a second movie, they do something with his hair to bring out his hotness.
Now Dominic Sherwood as Christian - hubba hubba! That's what I'm talking about people!! :) :) :) I really enjoyed this movie a lot. It made me laugh and I loved seeing this set of literary characters on the big screen. I hope there is enough interest in it from the public to make it into 5 more movies. Very cool that lots of my favorite books are coming out soon. I saw a preview for The Fault in Our Stars and will definitely be watching that one. Also looking forward to Divergent!
