THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS: CITY OF BONES

Welcome to 'The City of Bones'- Jace Wayland to Clary Fray; The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones

Hello bookworms! I've finally watched TMI City of Bones movie yesterday. So after 2 years of building anticipation,it hit the theaters and I was ecstatic to the point of almost jumping up and down along the way to the movies. I read some of the critics review and to say the film was poor would be quiet an understatement. Of course, I know better than to expect a movie adaptation to be as good as the book itself (with exception of The Lord Of The Rings-both book and film adaptation of the trilogy give me chills).

Anyway, as I was saying the critics has given reviews that sent The City of Bones film to the gutter. Feeling the start of disappointment growing, I went ahead and watch the movie. Now the thing is there are some parts of the movie where I would have change from the start. Let's say the casting issues. People have been complaining about Jamie Campbell Bower as Jace (I know folks, I was pissed when Alex Pettyfer turned down the role- he was the perfect Jace by description but oh well), but Jamie actually made a pretty good arrogant, cool Jace. He's not as bad as I thought when he was cast. Though, I have to say he's too skinny for my liking. If only he buffed up a little more, he would have fit Jace's description even better.

THE BOYS OF THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS

   “There is no pretending," Jace said with absolute clarity. "I love you, and I will love you until I die, and if there is life after that, I'll love you then.”― Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

Familiar with Will herondale? Jace Lightwood? Magnus Bane? I could name a few more boys in the Shadow World, which no doubt so fascinating and enticing characters that pulled us deeper into the complex stories. In each installments, there are at least one or two boys who had captured the hearts of both readers and the female characters. 

The many versions of Jace

         Jace Lightwood are definitely the TMI (The Mortal Instruments) heartthrob. With his tawny, golden looks what's not to like about Jace. Described as leonine, smouldering hot, and eyes that look gold in the sunlight with long eyelashes, he's cocky, arrogant, and but that is part of his charm that drew Clary *cough- and most female characters and readers alike- cough* in the first place. Jace has an untameable nature and he never told a lie (except for the few occasions when he's protecting his family). So never ask Jace's opinion about anything unless you're ready for the truth. 

Then there is Alec Lightwood. If you prefer the black hair paired with striking blue eyes boys, then Alec will surely fit into your type. Shy yet the most level-headed of the bunch. He's sensible and will protect his loved ones without a doubt. Moving on, we have the party-loving, fun High Warlock of Brooklyn: Magnus Bane. If you're into guys with exotic cat eyes (literally) and wears rainbow coloured pants, then Magnus might be the guy for you. He's not picky about his choice of partners (he's dated both men and women, nephilim and downworlders, even a djinn or two).
