Vampire Academy

Vampire Academy directed by Mark Waters and written for the screen by Danial Waters.  Based off the Noval by Richelle Mead.
Starring Zoey Deutch, Lucy Fry, Danila Kozlovsky, Gabriel Byrne, Dominic Sherwood , Olga Kurylenko, Sarah Hyland, Sami Gayle , and Claire Foy.
 The film is about two girls who have very unique qualities.  Rose Hathaway (Zoey Deutch) a Dhampir, half-human, vampire, a guardian.  Lissa Dragomir (Lucy Fry) a race of magical creatures called Moroi.  Lissa is also part of the royal family, she and Rose are bonded, that make them a bit more powerful than usual Moroi.
    Dimitri Belikov ( Danila Kozlovsky) a Guardian and Also a Dhampir.  Dimitri is to bring the girls back to school, while transporting them back, the party of mythical creatures are stopped by the blood-sucking vampires known as the Strogoi.  A fight breaks out and Dimitri and his other Guardians kill the blood-suckers.
   We now open in the School of gifted students, Moroi and Dhampir.  St Vladimir Academy, training for the Guardians and magic lessons for the Moroi.  The girls are friends with Natalie (Sarah Hyland) daughter of Victor Dashkov (Gabriel Byrne).  The school has a blood bank with humans who volunteer their blood to students.
  A mystery, a blood bond, and a Harry Potter style film, the only diffrence is that the Potter movies were good that this one falls short.  The characters had real potential but the dialog and storyline struggled to move, and flow. This films cast was huge which made it a small delight , but that's the only good aspect of the movie.  The fight scenes were terrible, dialog was meaningless, it had to many issues.  
   Vampire movie it's not, it had the mythology but fell short on story.  They even went as far as to make fun of Twilight, why? When your film went nowhere.

Director: David Ayer Writer: Max Landis Cast: Will Smith (Daryl Ward), Joel Edgerton (Nick Jakoby), Noomi Rapace (Leilah), Edger Ramirez (Kandomere), Tikka (Lucy Fry), Veronica Ngo (Tien), Alex Meraz (Serafin), Happy Anderson (Montehugh). Opening sequence: Imagine a world where Elves and Orcs, humans, are on one planet. Have to imagine they're part of our society so that the experience could be more real. The film Bright takes on a journey that to me is unbelievable. With that being said, this film received some pretty bad reviews. Guess the critics needed a new movie to pounce on since Star Wars made their day. Well let us get to it, shall we? Without further adieu, Bright. Review: The film takes place in a very different world. Imagine fairies, Orcs, and Elves being apart of that world. Los Angeles, lunch-time. Daryl Ward ( Will Smith ) waits for his partner, Nick Jakoby (Joel Edgerton). The gang is nearby, one of the Orc members reaches for his shotgun and
