If someone likes the story, they should read the book though. I do wish it was less show, more story, but the fight scenes were pretty cool. People can take their boyfriends or girlfriends to it as well, and they will probably have a good time too. I may even re-watch it in a few months on a bored Sunday. Casting Jared Harris as Hodge is a bit of a give-away. I always thought Luke was a good character. He didn't have a major role in the movie, I hope he'll get more story next time. I knew I had seen him somewhere, but because of all the hair, he was playing Luke, it was hard. Aidan Turner I didn't recognize at first, although I watched Being Human. Therefore, although he didn't fit my Magnus either, I'd rather have him. It was a bit of a pleasant surprise, because I found Godfrey very cute. I actually imagined him to be uglier somehow. ![]() Some people say Godfrey Gao didn't fit the bill of Magnus. It was especially a let-down, because I always liked Alec. I just imagined Alec as a lot more imposing figure somehow. Kevin Zegers as Alec was a bit of a let-down. I was very glad when he was cast, I always thought he was wasted as the young Grindelwald. I didn't have a clear picture of Jace in my head, but it would have been something like him. Jamie Campbell Bower was properly hot and dark as Jace. I look forward to seeing her in more movies, I think she'll be great. Lily Collins I first noticed in Mirror, Mirror, where I thought how better she was at being Snow White than Kristen Stewart. ![]() I especially liked one fight scene music, so I'm definitely getting the soundtrack. I generally don't pay much attention to the music, but that was a huge plus in this one. The Institute I loved, the demons looked properly hideous, the fight scenes were reasonably exciting. The rest of the plot is explained well, can be understood without the book. It's implied, but I only caught snippets. ![]() All the back stories that they may have is missing. We basically don't know anything about anyone, just Carly. Maybe it was a time issue, or a flow issue, but really, how long would it take to say "Hi, I'm Isabelle, this is Alec, my brother." or something to that effect. I would have liked them to be properly introduced. For example, the people living at the Institute. There were some things that I knew from the book, that was a bit problematic in the movie. It can stand on its own for the most part. I saw the world as if I was still in the movie. Seriously, I came out of the theater pumped up, and that is always a good thing. They revealed a very important plot point, in fact, I think more than one, that doesn't get revealed until the next book. I'm pretty sure the end was different, but that I understand because of the time. Partly, because I read the book over a year ago, and I don't remember much of it. What is important is for the movie to give back the main story line of the book, the feel of the book, and to stand on its own, so that people who don't read the books understand it as well. They are two different mediums, and something that may work in a book, doesn't work in a movie. When I watch a movie that is based on a book, I don't try to compare it to the book too much. I haven't read on, as I felt it should have ended there. Though there were mixed reviews about the books as well, and those I liked. I went to this movie after reading mixed reviews about it.
