Welcome James and Jenna! James, I hope that you love Goodreads as much as I do and get quite a lot of enjoyment out of it.

Feel free to post as much as you feel comfortable and if you have any questions, I'm here to help. :)

Hmm, that's a hard one. I guess Metropolis.

The Lion King or Beauty and the Beast?

Yup!

I guess that one was too easy, lol. ;D

Two Rs and two Ls!

I think you all have managed to touch on the aspects of the movie that I found both appealing and lacking.

For the most part, my favorite character was Simon. He was probably the one that was portrayed best in the whole movie - not to mention, he was pretty easy on the eyes. ;) (If I were Clary, I would've had no trouble picking between movie Simon and movie creeper-looking Jace, lol) I think they did really well with Jocelyn. I mean, she kicked ass with a frying pan and fridge door - so awesome!

But then you have the lackluster characters. Jace... he just wasn't how I pictured him at all. I guess his features were just too... hard and angular. I dunno. He just looked like a creeper. However, the acting wasn't horrible and he kinda grew on me as the movie went on. And I'm not going to even begin with Valentine. What happened to the beautiful, charasmatic guy that Jocelyn fell for and all his friends adored? He looked like a person who had stepped off the set of Pirates of the Caribbean or something!

Like you guys, I totally loved Magnus. <3 I was sooo looking forward to him being involved and he got a whopping, what, five minutes of camera time out of two hours? I think they nailed the wardrobe - it was eccentric enough for the guy (lol, booty shorts!) but his hair wasn't spikey! Plus they ignored the whole fact that Magnus should've had the rune book...

I dunno, as a whole I felt the movie was okay. It was definitely worth the eight dollars I spent on the ticket. The special effects were awesome and the demons looked plain scary! But as far as the movie sticking to the story - it wasn't so great. The fist thirty minutes or so were pretty good, then it just kinda went downhill.

And I realize that the romance between Jace and Clary started in the first book and all, but it was just waaay too forced in the movie. "Oh, we just met fifteen hours ago? Let's make out!" And it wasn't so much making out as eating each other's face and trying to have sex with their clothes on. >.>

Was it great? No. But I enjoyed it nonetheless. And no matter how dismal the box office report, I'll be seeing City of Ashes when it comes out.
