The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones

I am a long time fan of this series and was not disappointed. I honestly have no idea why everyone is comparing this to either Twilight or Harry Potter If you are looking for another movie exactly like twilight, this is not for you.

Went to see this film despite some not so good reviews and also after reading the books. Was so glad I did.

Honestly after a series of mediocre YA adaptations this one hits the spot. Yes while the script is a little weak in places the actors tend to do an amazing job with what they have.

OK, first off, I have read the book (though it's been a few years ago) and I loved it.After watching the terrible trailers for this movie and the short clip posted on IMDb, I was honestly not impressed.

The movie was absolutely brilliant.The truth is I have been a fan of TMI for a really long time.

Similar to many recent bestselling fantasy young adult novels adapted to the big screen, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones is another story about a 'seemingly ordinary' teen girl learns about her true identity and subsequently trapped in a love triangle (while trying to accept her destiny at the same time) in the midst of an eternal conflict between the supernatural good and evil.The film is filled with one-line exposition and overstuffed with many interesting fantasy/mythical creatures such as demons, werewolves, vampires, warlocks, witches, with the addition of nephilims (angel half-bloods)thrown in the mix but it never bothered to explore or show the specifics for any of them.

Although appeared to be too long at times and with actors losing the main idea of the movie's plot, the movie is not as bad as one could have thought. Nice computer effects help as well,The issue is that while Lily Collins and Jamie Campbell Bower are trying to deliver their best, Jonathan Rhys Meyers played as if he mixed up the scripts and that one was coming from Tudors – with his performance being a replica of Henry VIII in Tudors…In general, this is not a movie for those looking for answers to their philosophical (or alike) questions, but for a bunch of friends who don't have any other option of killing their spare time (may be read a book next time?

As a fan of the book, I loved this movie! The cast was amazing and I went into this movie worried that it would be a disappointment, but it wasn't!

I rarely write reviews but i saw this movie without reading the books beforehand and found it to be a really good movie. Yes, the plot clearly borrowed from other franchises such as Star Wars ("Clary and Jace, I am your father.
