Too good to not get a sequel.

If The Mortal Instruments got a sequel why can't VA?

It looks terrible to me, but in general, I've learned that no matter how good a movie is or how NOT good the source material is to begin with, people will almost ALWAYS complain that the book was better, which is why if there's a movie coming out that's based on a book that looks interesting to me, I'll wait for the movie and watch it first if I haven't already read the book, because if you're going to a movie wanting to just see the book onscreen, you're either a) basically TRYING to set yourself for disappointment, or b) being disappointed anyway when it's a fine adaptation but holds no surprises, because you read the book. "Wow, that's exactly what I knew would happen." I hate thinking that when I come out of a movie.

I have yet to see the movie so I can't tell you whether to read first or see first (though, except for Pride and Prejudice I'm a big fan of reading first). I will tell you that you should read the books. I know they are YA, but my friends and I are adults who started reading the books and passing them on because the were easy fun reading and really very good and addicting. They were not at all like Twilight and though funny at times, were more serious than the movie seems to be.

We as a group really, really enjoyed them. Now I just hope that the movie doesn't suck.

You can see the movie without it. surely you'll know a little more info and get some feels from the usage of lines from the book, but other than that it can be enjoyed without reading. They give you all the info you need to know in the beginning, to catch everyone up to what's going on. It's really not that hard to catch onto. Hope you get to see it. And Zoey is amazing in this.

I'm a fan of the books and really loved the movie. I noticed the flaws, but still enjoyed myself. The first movie in a series is always the hardest... introducing all of the characters, explaining a rich and extensive world as quickly as possible and still get the plot moving.

I know these books were huge in other countries so we never know what will happen. Once the movie gets released to those other countries they might help bring the sells up. I'm just gonna hope.

If you don't want to read the first book before watching the movie (you should read the book sometime though) this trailer, which should have been shown months ago explains what you need to know. I mean it's explain in the movie obviously, but it's just an awesome video!

I didn't read the books, but it's clear after watching this movie it had the budget of a direct to dvd movie rather than a theatrical movie. The acting talent isn't up to par, the movie looks cheap, etc. This movie seems targeted to an even younger audience than Twilight was.

Still in a state of shock that anybody is so stupid as not to understand why Twilight got sequels but VA wont's.
I really hope that some of these fans never have kids,so their stupidity gene will stop contaminating the human gene pool.

And why is it so bad that these are vampires? You may as well state that because of spider-man 3, Elektra, Daredevil, The two Fantastic four films, Ghost rider, that superhero movies should be gone, and a year or several later from ALL of those Iron Man one came out and yet many epople loved it, not to mention Dark Knight.

You are being racist if you just hate this movie because you are tired of vampires. What if this could become the vamprie mvoie that gets it right? What if those two darn franchises blinded you? Its a shame that they did, but don't take it out on this film. VA HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THOSE FRANCHISES! If you actually watched the mvoie, you will find that story wise they are NOTHING alike.

Twilight is about a romance between a girl and a vampire who introduces her to a hdiden world

True Blood is Vampires that live among humans in the southern states


VA is about two vampire speicies who protect one another from the dangers that lurk within the regular and supernatural world

Yes, all of these share contemporary and realistic themes, but thats about it. As Dumbledore once said:

"It isnt how you are alike, its how you are not".

Imagine if we treated people like this. Thne that would mean all jocks should go away for 5 years, all goths, Africans, Jews, etc. Think about that. We enjoy people as much as ficiton

I think it's sad that it most likely won't get a sequel,the movie ends in kind of a cliffhanger. The possibility of it happening is if the movie pulls a Percy and makes enough money overseas for it to happen.
