The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones

The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones directed by someone who I don't know, with actors in it who I never really cared for, made by a movie studio that was more concerned with cashing in on the youth market than making a good movie - and it shows in every frame of this film.

I didn't really like the book that this movie is based on and the movie version is just like the book version: nice idea but horribly executed.  Funny thing is the movie could have been loads better than the book easily if someone would have actually cared about the material.

The story moves so fast with information and characters that it's really hard to care about anything going on in the movie.  By fast I mean the story is more concerned with getting on to the next plot point than any actual story or character development.  What really pisses me off about this story is that it's actually a good idea - the book was the same way - it's just so amateurish in the way everything unfolds and is revealed that it ends up insulting the viewer in every way possible.  The Harry Potter theft is terrible, childish, and doesn't really make any sense because the two worlds are completely different.  Therefore the theft didn't even need to there to begin with.

If however you do like fantasy specifically urban type of fantasy and don't mind wasting two hours, then you might enjoy this movie.
