Pretty damn bad. Not as bad as the adaptation of Beautiful Creatures (which is one of the best YA series in the past decade IMO) but so choppy and messy, badly directed, the scenes didn't flow well either. And most of the time the actors and the direction seems totally rushed like "Okay, we got to get all this story in 2 hours, chop chop!" It was just totally unsatisfying, and towards the end many of the changes they made just took some of the logic out of the story.
Unless the TV show is just HORRIBLY acted and written (and there's nothing to indicate it will be as of yet) it's almost a sure bet to better than the movie.
Really?! I liked Beautiful Creatures, I thought the kids acting was ok, I did not like Emma Thompson or Emmy Rossum (but I didn't like Ridley in the books either, so it may not have been her, but my deslike of the character projecting onto her), but everything else was alright. Now, if you're saying it was bad because they took took many creative licencies, and strayed too far from the book and changed much more than necessary, then I understand. But aside from that, it really wasn't bad, I'd say it was a million times better than Twillight but then again everything is, so it would be redundant.
Really? Is this supposed to be TMI meet GG? This looks too glamorous... and that is something you'll never hear me say, I love glamorous, but it doesn't go with the characters, aside from Isabel of course. And I was finally getting exited about this...
they put a lto of material into the beautiful creatures they rush things tat never happened untill book three if i remember but i hope someone takes it and do a tv show. There is a lot of material there and the new series is really good.
I thik this one comes from Magnus' party. I think i saw a picture of them with that clothes and explain the outfits, but really what si Isabelle wearing, she si ready to eb ona xmas tree
Ohhhh! but Riley is the best, she si the evil that we love tho if you read the last series about ehr and Link, you will be pissed, Link it's too good for her
I'm not so sure about the image of Clary. It's hard not to compare to the movie but the movie did a good job of casting Clary. Clary is not suppose to be gorgeous and sexy like Isabelle. She is suppose to be different than the girls Jace would have been attracted to.

Both the show title and photo smack of trying to hard to be cool/alternative.
ReplyDelete100x better than movie cast. Big thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteGod, it looks even worse than expected. This adaptation is going to be a trainwreck.
ReplyDeleteJust like the movie was.
ReplyDeleteThis is supposed to be exciting coz it's not? Pass....
ReplyDeleteAt least it'll be better than the movie.
ReplyDeleteJust how bad was the movie?
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't that bad
ReplyDeleteI liked it. It wasn't fawned over like Hunger Games/Twilight were but it was good.
ReplyDeleteThis series moved from pre-production to actual production in a pace that is pretty unusual. It was like "rumored-picked up-cast-shot-done"
ReplyDeletelooks good, but why isnt simon in the picture?

Personally, I liked it. Sure, the book was better, but aren't they always? I really don't get all the hate...

ReplyDeleteAnd I was finally getting exited about this...
It was terrible.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a promo picture for Teen Wolf or Daredevil or something like that. Not sure if I like it...
ReplyDeleteIt looks a poster E! would use for one of their fashion shows.
ReplyDeleteI liked Lilly Collins, Robert Sheeran and Kevin Zegers...
ReplyDeleteRobert should lead an american version of Misfits but that new Clary actress....dat cleavage
ReplyDeleteI like it but looks totally different than what it probably should look like... Def way more glam than the movie

ReplyDeleteI think it's from Magnu's party, that's Magnus' loft. It makes sence
ReplyDeleteOhhhh! but Riley is the best, she si the evil that we love tho if you read the last series about ehr and Link, you will be pissed, Link it's too good for her
ReplyDeleteNot me, I just plain hate her, which is why I skipped that book series, I'm not interested in reading a book based on her.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, it must be that. It would be the only situation where Clary dressed like that would make sense.
ReplyDeletelooks like a shot from "gossip girl" - BIG DISSAPOINTMENT

ReplyDeleteToo bad we have to wait until next year for it to premiere :(.
ReplyDeleteThis is what an ABC Family promotional picture always looks like.
