Very bad movie, bad casting and the lead actor Jamie has very annoying aka ugly face. I almost slept when I saw it 2 days ago. Before the movie finish my Husband asked me to walk out and and I agree without any doubt.

To be honest not as many people were aware of the series before the movie came in as thwy were with a series such as twilight. And I think now this movie has come out it will encourage people to want to go out and buy the books so they know what happens next. I think they will be suprised at how good the next movie goes if they decide to proceed. I dont know about other places but it wasnt as widely advertised and hyped up hrre in Australia as much as previous potential bloklckbuster series. The marketing of it needed yo be improved and needs to be re evaluated to suit target audience. I loved the movoe but can also see how it may not have made as mich sense to those who had not read the book.

I just love the books and the movie. My husband even liked it 🙂 he said it was the best "book movies" I have ever taken him to see. Really hope they make the others.

I have seen the movie three times. And honestly I agree it could have benefited from better advertising. Honestly not continuing with the next films will be a horrible idea. Everyone who has read the books is looking forward to seeing them on the big screen. And I would go see each of them at least three tomes and I am planning on buying all of the movies on blue ray.

I understand that the film only just made enough to cover the costs but my biggest issue is the lack of advertisement for the film. In the Uk the trailer was never aired on TV, in fact I live on quite a small island, just off of mainland Uk, and the film didn't even come to our cinema! I hope the production company realizes that the lack of advertisement was their biggest downfall and if they give it a chance the franchise can, and will, build momentum as the fan base grows.

I've read the books and then seen the movie, both great but honestly to this day I have never seen an advertisement for it, maybe that was the biggest problem, people don't know about it. I read the books then went online to find a trailer. Maybe it needs to be advertised right now and a whole lot

The preview didn't do the film justice. The choice of opening date was terrible and in my town, it was showing in the smaller movie theater at very inconvenient times – and only had three showtimes per day. Make the second movie and hire a better marketing team!

its not just the advertising though.. they didn't keep close to the book. In the first book valentine gets the mortal cup however the movie portrays that the good guys win. i'm not saying the movie was bad i loved it, especially the famous garden scene. the actors portrayed what they were supposed to. however it didn't link with the book. This could have been pretty big if they'd have done this right the first time around. I agree though they should bring another movie out as long as they stick close to story and adapt it correctly for on screen appearances.

I loved the movie. Honestly it could have done with an earlier release date better advertising. Ive seen the movie 3 times in less than 2 wks. And i finished reading all 5 books in 3 days. I was a fan of the twilight books, but these are so much better. And the movie was way better too. Percy jackson and the sea of monsters was another awesome movie, but it too had terrible advertising. I didn even know they were making a sequel until a month before its release, and even then their were not that many commericals to let people know the movie was being released. I really hope they make the sequel to City of bones, it would be a shame if we didnt get to see what happens.

I think the big problem was the actual release date.
They released it on a Wednesday on a school night. Nobody was going to be able to go to that opening because they had school next day. They should've opened it on a weekend.

saw the movie 4 times. it is absolutely amazing and followed the book as close as it could. they need to advertise it more and get more publicity so that a sequel can be made

look at all this people and how bad they want it, you should definitely make the book into a movie. no pressure, but do you really want to upset all this people who want to see the movie on screens…..please reconsider besides the actors that played the characters did real good, so i don't get of why not make the sequel of city of bones? don't give on this movie please try to at least get it done. i really want to believe that they will make a next movie and that it will come out soon .
have a little faith in this movie.

Please make another one! I agree that they needed more advertisement. I never saw a trailer on TV, I only found the trailer by searching it up on youtube! But I saw it and gave it a 9.5/10, no doubt it! Like Jace said, "Have a little faith." The next movie will be great, I have faith in you guys since the first movie was almost spot on considering how it was a movie and there was a time and money limit so please, please , PLEASE, reconsider it!!! I'm begging you guys! When I heard the news I cried, not kidding!

That was an amazing movie. I can't wait for the next one. I'm betting it'll be just as good if not better! The very first time I have ever gotten to hang out with a friend, we went to see "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones." Best time of my 17 yr. old life!!!!!

YA movie adaptations like The Mortal Instruments could get reboots after first ones failed. I am number four could get a reboot, novel adaptations like Jumper and Eragon could get reboots after the first ones failed. well, WB, DC and Christopher Nolan rebooted Batman with Batman Begins in 2005 which started the Dark Knight Trilogy, Sony, Marvel and Marc Webb rebooted Spider-Man with The Amazing Spider-Man in 2012 and WB, DC and Zack Snyder rebooted Superman with Man of Steel in 2013.
