Now, the movie had a pretty small budget but I think it came across well especially if you read the books and even if you hadn't, the movie explained some stuff.
It had some incredibly cheesy and campy moments and did seem to rely a bit too much on humor BUT with the exception of Mia, I thought casting was perfect.
The final half hour was done really well and was probably where most of the budget went along with "seeing eyes"
I wouldn't mind if Frostbite was made. Love the cast.

I liked the movie of the Vampire Academy. It seemed to outline the book's events very well. Nothing was changed...aside from a little bit of tweaking. I do agree there are some similar actions in Mean Girls but I really did enjoy the movie. Have you read the Bloodlines series? It's the spin off of TVA and the main character is Sydney the Alchemist. The fifth book just came out a few weeks ago. The sixth and final book comes out next year. I can't wait.DlVERGENT wrote:I love this series so much, the movie was such a let down.. It's a shame though, the books were really good. I don't think the producer of Mean Girls should've been producing this movie, he made Vampire Academy look like Mean Girls only with vampires and half-vampires instead of humans.
The book series is still one of my favorites.

I enjoyed the movie, but quality-wise, it wasn't all that. I don't think it did justice to the books. And yes, I've read the Bloodlines series and I'M IN LOVE. Can't wait for the last book but I'm also sad, I don't want it to end ...littlebook wrote:I liked the movie of the Vampire Academy. It seemed to outline the book's events very well.

Okay, I do have to agree with you on that. However, I do really hope they make Frostbite a movie. I want to see who will be cast as Adrian. I think I am just so attached to him as a character that it will be very hard to match up with the Adrian in my head. Then again, I am curious as to the casting. Richelle Mead just created such a perfect being, even if that being is defined by times new roman, black ink transcribed on off-white paper.DlVERGENT wrote:I enjoyed the movie, but quality-wise, it wasn't all that.

Also, I am anxious to see the scene where Rose and Adrian meet on that porch while it was snowing out.

I don't know if you've heard but they are planning on making a Frostbite movie but only if they can raise $1.5M by September 5. I would post the link but apparently I can't because I haven't been registered for a week yet. And Adrian is one of my favorite characters ever so I'm really anxious to know who's going to be playing him. Honestly, I hope it's a total nobody, a new actor, because if it's someone I know, the image I have of Adrian might change and I really don't want that.littlebook wrote:Okay, I do have to agree with you on that.

Oh and: is it just me or does Richelle Mead create THE most perfect characters ever?

Have you read the Bloodlines series? If you haven't, you really should, especially if you love Adrian.Mickaila wrote:I read them a long time ago, I was so in love with Rose, I seriously loved the series but was a bit mad at how it was for a while until the end (Lyssa ftw) but Dimitri was exasperating, I liked Adrian better. I don't think I'll see the movie, but I hope it gives the series some justice.

Wow I had no clue. I really hope they can raise enough. Richelle Mead is such a great author, she does make THE best characters. Have you read any of her other series and/or books?DlVERGENT wrote:
