Even when I enjoy something, I still usually critique the stuffing out of it. :)<br /><br />Haven't seen this one yet (and didn't love the books), but I may give it a go just to see the rubber masks and the hair ... and the hoodie.Kelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00938626223222252300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125434855832556170.post-31841680750893063192014-01-02T01:34:10.668-05:002014-01-02T01:34:10.668-05:00Thanks for this! I loved the books, and so have no...Thanks for this! I loved the books, and so have not seen the movie yet (I was so pissed at the movie treatment of The Hunger Games that I stopped seeing movies based on books altogether). I now might venture to see this, with expectation of a less-fun Jace and less-badass-Isabelle firmly in place. I'd venture the guess that the rat scene would make things less urban paranormal and more fantastical/fey, which doesn't sit well with general audiences (especially if they haven't read the books). I know that the actor playing Simon does a fantastic job in the British TV series "Misfits", and a totally different character, so I expect him to be the highlight. I hope the second movie, if there is one (??) does a better job of sticking to the character-building stuff and not just the action sequences.Beth Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01898921671895123053noreply@blogger.com
