Ok if you have not watched this movie and you are a City of Bones fan. YOU MUST GO AND WATCH IT!!! I think the movie was a pretty good book to move adaptation. It wasn't perfect but it worked well as a movie. I'm going to try and write this review without any spoilers for those of you haven't' watched it yet. It was very fast paced compared to the book and I just felt like the sequence between each scene was quick. I think the dialogue for me was quite weird as it felt like they didn't explain the 'Shadow World' enough. I'm glad I'd read the book first otherwise I would have been a little confused.

The action scenes were the best. Clary wasn't as annoying like she was in the books, and Isabelle was just plain badass and boy did she brandish that whip!  I was a bit hesitant about Jace when I first saw the trailer and I was sure I would hate him but he pulled it off well. He didn't have the whole cockiness but he did have those good one liners. To be honest I felt like we didn't see much of Alec. I swear there was only like 3 scenes where he actually talked. I just think there was a lot of issues but it was just so amazingly done you don't focus too much on it. The triangle to me was bland and I just thought the chemistry between Clary and Jace was bland as well. Valentine wasn't what I pictured to look like and Magnus Bane's character didn't have the sassiness like he does in the book.

One scene I really liked was with the silent brothers. That was really well done! And I think my favourite action scene was in the Vampire Lair and Jace has that little line saying "Have a little faith." I just thought it was awesome and you see a lot of badass shadowhunter fighting.Also I felt like a lot of things was how I imagined it! I love it when your vision is sort of the same as the movie. The institute was exactly how I imagined it to look like.

Overall I just loved it and the minor issues didn't really matter to me overall. If you don't focus on the comparison between the book and the movie too much then you'll really enjoy it. I really want to see it again because it was that amazing!
If it's out of ten stars I would give it 7/10.
