a5c7b9f00b When her mother disappears, Clary Fray learns that she descends from a line of warriors who protect our world from demons. She joins forces with others like her and heads into a dangerous alternate New York called the Shadow World. Set in contemporary New York City, a seemingly ordinary teenager, Clary Fray, discovers she is the descendant of a line of Shadowhunters, a secret cadre of young half-angel warriors locked in an ancient battle to protect our world from demons. After the disappearance of her mother, Clary must join forces with a group of Shadow Hunters, who introduce her to a dangerous alternate New York called the Shadow World, filled with demons, warlocks, vampires, werewolves and other deadly creatures. Clary is apparently an ordinary girl with a normal life, but when she starts drawing a strange sign and sees things and people ordinary humans cannot, she is introduced by Jace to a supernatural world in which werewolves and demons coexist. As a shadowhunter, Jace is in charge with maintaining peace by fighting against demons, and thus, he helps Clary find her missing mother which holds deep secrets regarding her origins, childhood and special gifts.<br/><br/>This movie features a great fictional world, full of monsters and magic places in which Clary and her friends must fight for survival and a for magical object. It looks great and the CGI is truly awesome but that is about it. Except some thrilling fights, there is nothing more to amaze you. I had the impression I was watching a soap opera much more times than I thought it was an action film. Too much romance, or things related to it, look there&#39;s father, look there isn&#39;t father and such nonsense instead of focusing on the interesting part of the plot. In addition, almost everything related to Clary in the action part seems too superficial and not very well thought, when I was expecting a bit more implication from her. Instead, she focuses of figuring out which boy she &quot;loves&quot; more, thus deriving from the main idea which could have provided a lot more than her sentimental interests.<br/><br/>It could have been a great movie if it had done what this movie is all about. It had potential, it had a good idea, it had a great SF world butalways, they didn&#39;t know what to do with them. Big shame As a fan of the book, I loved this movie! The cast was amazing and I went into this movie worried that it would be a disappointment, but it wasn&#39;t! The effects were great and even though they did change some parts, I still loved it. The only part that was &quot;eh&quot; was when the pop music came up at The Hotel Dumort, but the greenhouse music was fine. I thought the music idea was very original and interesting. I cried three times and sobbed at the end when I realized that it was over (also When the Darkness Comes was playing at the end… the feels overtook me.)The pacing was good and the action scenes blew me away. This movie kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time and I was also clutching my popcorn (I barely ate any….) The books were betteralways, but this can easily be the best movie ever. I brought my friend who hasn&#39;t read the books yet to watch it with me and she loved it! She didn&#39;t find it complicating and she described the movieintense and dark. She went into this movie expecting it to be &quot;just another cool movie&quot;, but afterwards, she said that it was nothing she expected it to be! It was better than she expected! Overall, I think this movie is very fantastic and anyone can easily enjoy it. The nomenclature varies slightly, but there's little new or exciting in City of Bones. For strong female role models and unique fantasy settings, stick with The Hunger Games.
