Movie Reviews: The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones

Jace Wayland, Clary Fray, Alec Lightwood, Isabelle Lightwood and Simon Lewis

Hope I am not too late to be doing this review. I am not really the type of person that watch movie that are related to runes, ancient all these kind of genre but my brother want to watch this and so I agreed. It turns out to be a really cool and interesting movie to watch! Yet, I must say City of Bones was not all action-packed throughout the show but there are humour added to it and it really made me laughs XD

Movie Reviews:
City of Bones had quite a few animated scenes in it especially those cool runes that can be written on hands and used it as a magic power. (How cool is this?) Clary Fray is the descendant of the Shadowhunter Family whose mother, Jocelyn Fray was once a shadowhunter. In order to protect Clary ever since she was young to not get in touch with the demons, part of her memories was blocked with a powerful spell by Magnus Bane. However, as Clary gets older year by year, Jocelyn was being instructed to reseal the spell once she noticed Clary started seeing or drawing the rune symbol because that would be the symptom of the weakening of spell. Nevertheless, Jocelyn never fail to go back to Magnus for the procedures.

However, one day Clary was out with her bes friend, Simon who was in love with her to a club and she was the only one that could see Jace and partner was killing a demon which she does not know what it is at all. She screamed out loud catching the attention of everyone surrounding her, including the Shadowhunters who looked back at her, shocked. She was utterly bewildered about how people could not see what was going on except her, even Simon could not see anything amiss.

Soon, Jace appeared before her and was equally confused about how she could see them as well and that's when Clary saw the rune symbol on his hand and prompted him about what does it mean.

Subsequently, a series of events starts to happen and she began to know about the Mortal Cup that her mother hid it and refused to hand it over to a person called, Valentine (bad guy basically). Therefore, in order to protect her mother and to fight back from those demons who keep pestering her on handing over the Mortal Cup, Clary joined the rest of the Shadowhunters.

Well, of course there are "love in the air" going on and humorous scenes here and there. Overall it was a really cool show, totally awe over the animated demon dog who can be so disgusting and scary and awesome!

Recommended to watch this!
