A Book-to-Movie review: City of Bones

Today's review is on:

MY REVIEW

LE PROBLEMS

I actually noticed that there was something different about the movie from the gripping trailer. In the book, Clary is attacked by a demon and defeats it before Jace arrives on the scene (a little stretch, but it made sense, and also made Clary look stronger). In the movie/trailer, however, Clary is saved just in time by her knight in shining armor: Jace. When watching the movie, I did notice that she made several very good attempts at defeating the monster (which was less scary in my imagination), so at least they gave her that.

(Start the video at 2:06 to see what I mean)

There is only one other problem I had with the movie, and that is that they introduced a power that Clary didn't even know she had until the second book. It makes me curious as to how they're going to make the second movie, if there is going to be one.

THE GOOD STUFF

Other than the two problems stated above, this movie followed the book. Jace and Clary fell in love, there was a lot of battles, etc. It was fun seeing something that was on a page and in my imagination as a real-life movie. I bet that when I read the next book in the series, I will imagine the actors and actresses doing the things that their characters do in future books.

I loved the way that they cast the characters as well. I was a little nervous about who they cast for Jace, but he ended up doing a really good job bringing Jace into the movie. Alec (pictured above) was a little hotter than I imagined him, but I'm not complaining. ;)

Well, that's all for now!

See you next Saturday!
