After her mother disappears, Clary joins forces with a group of Shadowhunters and enters Downworld, an alternate realm filled with demons, vampires, and a host of other creatures. Clary and her companions must find and protect an ancient cup that holds the key to her mother's future.

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
That was an excellent one.
Good concept, poorly executed.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
This movie was good people just suck. I don't know how this didn't get a sequel but that horrible TV show is in its third season.
This movie is just like Dragon Ball Evolution But worse
Can't really add anything not mentioned before.But must say it's funny how most good reviews are made by profiles who ONLY ever commented on this movie...friends/family members much? :P Shame IMDb is corrupt with ratings based in this way any1 with enough fake account's/friends can rate up even worse of production's... Overall utter junk compiled from little of every series/movie u can think of from Dracula to Buffy the vampire slayer.Sad attempt at scrounging some cash from fans...Would recommend to watch only to producer's/director's who wanna learn how NOT to make movie.
THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS: CITY OF BONES is yet another young adult fantasy adaptation of a popular novel. This one clearly ploughs HARRY POTTER and TWILIGHT territory, detailing a story that's extraordinarily similar to the famous tales regarding the boy wizard, except swapping genders and adding demons to the mix.Truth be told, it's not all bad, and it's hard to see why this was such a flop on release. I for one enjoyed it more than various instalments from the HUNGER GAMES or DIVERGENT franchises; it has a faster pace and more action, for a start. It's hardly a great film, but as a kiddie version of a type of BLADE storyline it's not the worst.The biggest problems here are the attempts to shoehorn in a typical twee and cheesy teen romance courtesy of the foppish Jamie Campbell Bower, which leads to some excruciating scenes. Plus, Lily Collins (MIRROR, MIRROR) is hardly what you would call a great actress - her eyebrows do most of the work. Robert Sheehan is another embarrassment. The older cast members are much better - Jonathan Rhys Meyers has a ball as the villain, and the likes of Lena Headey, CCH Pounder, and Jared Harris put in solid support. The demonic special effects (CGI, of course) aren't too shabby, and I enjoyed seeing the various beasties the film has to offer, even if some of them are heavily derived from the likes of WRATH OF THE TITANS. Bear in mind this isn't good enough to merit another watch, though; it's too much derived from what's come previously.
