"To love is to destroy." Valentine
And the movie is quite hard to love, no surprise then that it showed a poor showing in the box office. Pun aside, the storyline is quite slow and boring, although some action was pumped towards the middle part of the movie that is sustained and thrilling.
The plot is the common formula for teenage love stories cum vampire movies/horror/thriller genre. Not much is exciting in the movie, except perhaps the suppressed love of Simon for Clary, the homosexual attraction of Alec for Jace and the incestuous relationship, albeit unknowingly, between Clary and Jace.
The acting was moderately good, the special effects are ok, and the originality factor would be a 2 out of 10. I had fun watching it, but can't be missed once you're out of the theatre. I was expecting more from the movie, something is missing though, something that should have made the story more gripping.
