I found this movie a great one! It had a great storyline, and I liked how the reality was formed into the story, where Clary couldn't see the world as it was after what had passed between her and Jace. However, I personally do not believe them to be related, for the storyline would be too cliche in my opinion. That is exactly why I adored how Clary just steps onto the bike with Jace and they ride into the distance, without any clearance of what would be in store for them and their relationship in future. I close off with what has been said before, I really enjoyed the movie.

I thought this was a great movie it went along with the book. It did however leave some stuff out but what movie based on a book doesn't. I can overlook that its way better than the TV show. I want to know when are they gonna come out with the NEXT one?!?! The characters were well picked and they did a great job playing their parts. I am so serious about another movie I think the producer and everyone period done a great job. No movie is perfect so what it kept my attention the whole time. So I have to say I was entertained and have watched it several times and and it still catches my attention. I honestly can't stand the TV series. It goes way to far from the books and disappointed me this movie was awesome.

I cannot fathom all the criticism of this film. The actors are beautiful and touching and connected in their characterisation. It is worth watching the movie just to see their faces that are sensitive to every nuance of the interactions. Each scene is carefully crafted and is a masterpiece. The lead actors Lily Collins and Jamie Campbell Bower are a work of art.The film is 'busy' admittedly but not hard to follow. I never lost track. The creativity in every scene is beautiful. Watch it a second times and it is even more stunningly captivating.So superior to the TV series in every way......

OMG! I love this movie. I can watch it over and over again. The story and the characters are so good. I've read all the books and i don't mind that they don't follow the story line. The movie is still great. The actors play the characters so well. Jamie Campbell Bower plays Jace so good, hes really like the Jace in the books. He is perfect for the roll. Lily Collins also play Clary very good. All the actors has really captured the small things that makes there characters so special. I really really hope that the movie makers will continue with the City of Ashes movies. The books deserve to be made into movie series. And that the same actors from City of Bones follow, because it's them that makes the movies so good. I sign this to make the City of Ashes move happen. Will you sign to? https://www.change.org/p/martin-moscowitz-save-city-of-ashes-movie
