Plot From IndieLondon:
“Clary Fray (Lily Collins) is an ordinary Brooklyn teenager until the night she meets the mysteriously tattooed Jace (Jamie Campbell Bower), who turns out to be a half-angel warrior known as a Shadowhunter. When Clary finds out her mother Jocelyn (Lena Headey) has been abducted, she desperately hopes Jace will be able to help. After a whirling golden portal transports her across time and space in a heartbeat, Clary realizes she too has the powers of the Shadowhunters. But can she harness them in time to save her mother?
Clary, Jace and their fellow Shadowhunters endure one breathtaking battle after another against vampires, warlocks and demons—only to discover Jocelyn hid a terrible secret from the fiercest warrior of all: Valentine (Jonathan Rhys Meyers). Cast out from the world of Shadowhunters, Valentine abducted Jocelyn believing she had a powerful tool known as the Mortal Cup. Using her newfound gifts, Clary finds the Cup, only to be brutally betrayed and forced to relinquish it”
Good Aspects:
The plot is original and really involves the viewer.
The action scenes are great and really intense.
The special effects are realistic.
The actor's performances were good and between the actors that played Jace and Clary there was a really good chemistry.
Bad Aspects:
The superboring, sappy, soap-opera look-alike love triangle. (But that fortunately doesn't have much space in the movie).
The movie doesn't stick very much to the book.
For the peole who haven't read the book some parts of the movie might not be so understandable.
My Comment:
I liked this movie even though I didn't like some changes from the book . I liked the special effects and the action scenes but the characters were't really close to the ones in the book.
