This
weekend Krista (Krista’s Dust Jacket) and I went to see the Mortal Instruments:
City of Bones movie. I have NOT read any of the books in the Mortal Instrument
series and really all I knew about the book/movie is that the main character is
a demon hunter.
Movie Genre
This
movie covers a few different genres. You, of course, have the fantasy element
but at the same time there’s action, mystery/suspense, and even some romance
elements.
Special Effects – Thumbs Up or Thumbs
Down?
The
special effects get a very enthusiastic two thumbs up!! Some of the demons especially rocked!
My Thoughts
As
much as I love seeing books come to life on the big screen, I’m very glad I
haven’t read the books in this series. Without having read them I was able to
go into the movie blind and get the full experience without comparing it to
something else.
The
action scenes were suspenseful, the romancey parts were sweet, and again the
special effects were top notch. I loved it all! This is a movie that I plan to
buy and watch it on the day the DVD is released! And I will force convince
my hubby to watch it also. Who am I kidding; I’ll tie him to a chair if needed
;-)
Some of the random things I said during
the movie
What
the hell is THAT?!?!
Run!!!
That’s
so AWESOME!!
Ooo,
he’s cute!
No!
Don’t do that <Sorry, I can’t tell you
what ‘that’ is>! Put it back! What are you doing?!
Other Recommendations
I
haven’t seen many movies with this type of a fantasy element but I will recommend
World War Z (my review) because of the action.
Aaaah! I have to see it!!!! (I HAVE read the books and I liked them a lot, so I'll have to see how I feel...)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely go see it if you can, it's one that is great in the theater!
