Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I think the negative reviews being spewed by jaded critics are extremely unfair. Just because this genre isn't your taste does not make it 'bad'. As a fan of YA lit and fantasy, this hit all the right marks for me. I loved Jamie Campbell Bower as Jace, and I was impressed by what the filmakers managed to fit into the two hours. The actors playing Simon and Isabel were fantastic as well. Great score/sountrack, fast paced story, several funny one liners, and cool fight scenes. I hope the mean spirited attitude of the critics does not ruin the box office gross for this. I think reviewers want to blast anything YA these days because they OD'd on twilight. This is very different and it's a shame it's being lumped in with it. I do hope it does well and gets a good following on DVD/digital release so we get sequels.
