I went into the movie with really, really low expectations so there wasn't much it could do to disappoint.
It wasn't terrible but it wasn't amazing, spectacular or anything that made me want to run right out and buy the series. Visually it's a pretty movie but there's no substance.
One of the things that really stood out were the ridiculous names, like Clary Fray, that scream Mary Sue. Oh and Jace is totally 'Draco in leather pants'*
*Why Draco in Leather Pants? Oh well, the person who wrote this series started out in the HP fandom and is responsible for the Draco in Leather Pants meme: http://fanlore.org/wiki/Fanon_Draco http://fanlore.org/wiki/Draco_Sinister
I loved that series and the reference. Thank you for the reminder. Maybe I should reread. Don't you wish they made a movie based on it? It would be so good. :)
