Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

dancedivarocker Loved this show but My God, could Nina Dobrev's character be more annoying and more of a pain in the... There isn't one episode where her character Elena is flattering. However, she redeems herself when playing Katherine. One HORRIFIC character which the show is so (too much) centered around and the other character was truly great. Still I give the show a 9 out of 10, as it's one of the very few series I can stand for 8 seasons. However it is definitely not as good as it's successor The Originals.

alp-50013 THIS IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SERIES! GREAT ACTORS AND STORY!

me_sweety Ok, so I willl very honestly write this review and say that the show started out amazing. The story seemed a typical highschool drama in the first few episodes but then it improves with every episode and honestly speaking , I think season 2 and season 3 are perfection. The character development of all the characters, especially Damon and Stefan, the blend in of the originals and their plot twists, Katherine pierce and her badassery; all these things come together and make season 2 and season 3 perfect. I think the reason the show started going downhill from season 4 is because of two reasons, A) a vampire turned Elena honestly changed the story dynamics and the story became more revolved around Elena and her love life rather than the thriller vampire adventures the audience looked forward too, and secondly they honestly made this recipe of introducing a new supernatural villian backed up by an ancient historical tale who is attacking mystic falls every year and Elena and her friends end up fighting them. Season 5 was literally a ripoff of the earlier seasons, they conjured these stupid creatures called Travellers who needed the doppelganger blood to break the curse. Season 6 was much better though, I enjoyed the new relationship of Damon and Bonnie, Kai was an intriguing villain and the story took pretty unexpected turns. Season 7 and we are back to the same old shenanigans, again there is a revival of some deadly super natural creatures. Honestly speaking , the whole Julian affair and the huntress thing was boring and predictable. Season 8 was still good, although the ending broke my heart. I still gave this series a 8/10 because the first few seasons of this show are a pretty close to my teenage self,this show gave us amazing characters. Stefan , Damon , Katherine , Lexie. Liz Forbes. One of the best things about this show is that contrary to popular belief, its not all about romance, infact, for me it is more about the brotherhood of Stefan and Damon. Stefan and Damon were best friends who ended up as enemies because of their love for Katherine, then came back together after a century reunited by their love for Elena. And eventually, Stefan loved Damon so much that he decided to give up Elena for him because he could see his humanity returning thanks to her. I honestly love Stefan and Damons relationship. Anyways, the point being that I would recommend this show despite the fact that its quality fell over time, because it still encapsulates beautiful characters and story telling.
