Review of Vampire Academy (2014) by Leon B — 09 Aug 2014

Review:

Personally, I wasn't that impressed with this movie. It reminded me of a CSI for Vampires because there is a lot of investigating and not that much action until the end, when the plot unfolds. The main character reminded me of Juno, who just doesn't stop talking and makes a joke out of everything, but she did add some humour to the movie. I wasn't that impressed with the CGI and the storyline does get confusing in some parts, but it's a watchable film, even if your not into vampire movies. The concept was quite good, which does make me think about reading the book, but I personally think that the Twilight franchise has taken over this genre. Watchable!

Round-Up:

I haven't really seen any of the actors in this movie, before except for Gabriel Byrne who is famously known for The Usual Suspects. Zoey Deutch, who plays the main character, also starred in Beautiful Creatures, which was another mystical type of role and judging by the ending of this film, I'm sure that were going to see her in the sequel. All of the other characters wasn't that outstanding but I blame that on the material. At the end of the day, it's what it says on the tin, which is why it didn't blow up at the box office.

Budget: N/A.

Worldwide Gross: $15million.

I recommend this movie to people who are into there vampire movies about a girl whose about to take over the vampire academy if she can surpass the evil doers. 4/10.
