VA is so cliché and cheesy it's actually good

I had no expectations when starting to watch this film whatsoever. The fact I had never even heard of it, meant that it's not one of those great vampire films.
And yes, it had some very bad lines ("They say Dimitri is a God, well I'm an atheist, an atheist with a big gun"), stupid jokes, plot that went on way too fast with way too many side plots, cheesy teenage drama and so forth, but not every movie has to be top-quality, does it? As cheesy as this film was I actually enjoyed it, rooted for Hathaway and Dimitri, hoped that Christian wouldn't turn evil like his parents, enjoyed the friendship between Lissa and Hathaway and so forth. Movie doesn't always have to be Oscar-material so you can enjoy it. I liked this film without any particularly good reasons. Almost so much I hoped they'd do a second one just so I can enjoy that one too.

I agree, I watched this with a couple of my daughters a while back expecting to suffer through it and actually enjoyed it for what it was.

No just no. You need to read the books or at least even have a look at them and you will realise that they have completley destroyed it. It is disgusting the way they have made this movie. I understand that it cant be completley by the book, but it would of been nice for them to try and go by the book a little bit. Which they didn't.

well the first book is kinda weak you have to get past that

Well Christain never does someone else does!

Too bad it never got to the second film at least. Plus they should have had Syndey Sage and Adrian and the reeducation camp with Duncan and his Mancetti and then saying your welcome. The therapist puts them in a chair to make them puke about images they say are wrong and then they are released while others enjoy your favorite food

I have and what do you think they could have done better? I think the first book was kinda weak but the second third fourth and fifth were good!

Did you read the Blood Line series?

Oh god I hated Grace Sheridan!

Man that evil woman the chair the puking and then after your done with your education everyone gets your favorite food!

Thank God Syndey got the tattoo neatrilized!
