Vampire Academy (2016– ) User Reviews

Stop checking boxes

[shaylana-54151 · 4/10 · 18 September 2022]

Stop checking boxes for casting every mouth-breather that claims to be oppressed and manipulating the story to do so. This absolutely ruined Legacies. There are books. Follow them. The show has promise with Julie Plec if they stop this nonsense.

The Vampire Academy books are boasted as fantasy/horror comedy. The series so far is fantasy/horror, with vampires and magic, but no comedy, which is fine.

The series starts out at St Vladimir's Academy boarding school where Lissa, a Moroi royal, and Rose, a Damir guardian are best friends. Rose is not only Lissa's best friend, but is also training to be her guardian. Outside the gates of the Academy there are "undead vampires" called strigoi who are a deadly and nasty bunch and definitely not friendlies to anyone within the Academy walls - so far.

The series is not cast very well, in my opinion. They seem to be trying to get brownie points instead of casting the best person for the role. So far it is coming very close to ruining the series, but there is still some promise in the series. Time will tell.

The names are the same

The names are the same but some differences so far in espoide one Sonia Karp is a teenager ( I think) Mia is a spoiled brat and not insure Just have an open mind Just different than the books.

But why not watch I just hope they don't mess up roses dad which I think they are And Adrian ( the other spirit user) Which they probably are.

Well I wish they let me write this series but it I am glad they made it . I hope it lasts for year So watch it and watch it a lot I need to see it.

I am not sure why I have to write such a long review This is crazy and sonia karp is a teenager for sure.

Yes she is .

I'm very disappointed

Julie Plec, I have zero words. I honestly expected a lot of out you since Vampire Diaries. That show was a master piece but this.... I expected way more. The scenes are cut way to short to where there's zero dialogue and just a lot of music and it's also wayyy over the top for what a vampire show needs to be. I get that with vampire academy there is magic but I would have kept it simple like you did in vampire diaries. Even the movie felt more fluid than this. I felt like for anyone who is a first time watching the show, you should have never just thrown all the vocabulary in the first 30 seconds. Obviously I know the terminology but for people watching it for the first time would be super confused. I feel like you are trying to put a lot of stuff in 45 mins and it just ain't happening. This doesn't need to be fancy smancy just the basics. I get they are two completely different worlds and they are complex in their own right but I loved how simple Vampire diaries felt when I first saw it. There was no high end action sequences or choreographed fight training. I'm sorry but this just wasn't a hit. I wish you brought your eye from vampire diaries to this because then you would drawn in more people. I expected a lot but was ultimately disappointed. I'm sorry but no from me.

Vampire academy hoping for season 2

[jenniferconkel-65907 · 10/10 · 8 December 2022]

It is a really good show you do have to give it time as you have to learn the characters and so forth, but if you like action,drama you'll like it. I'm hoping they do a season 2 as I'd definitely watch it. Love rose and dimitri As their story kept me coming back for more. I do wish they'd done alittle bit more with them but overall I was pleased with it for the most part. However the ending of the season kinda disappointed me as I was hoping dimitri would've went with rose and helped her navigate everything out in the human world. Please renew it for season 2..... give the show a chance and push passed the first episode.
