Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments (2016) Boo!

English I did not find the 2013 movie adaptation of Mortal Instruments very impressive, even though I did not find it that offensive either. The basic premise was not so bad, and it was watchable; the actors were pretty good, and the main female protagonist was quite likable. Unfortunately, the anime series retains practically nothing of the movie’s treatment. I do not like the main female protagonist at all, and I find her acting terrible, and I do not find her believable. The rest of her group also strikes me as rather repulsive, and most of the guys are completely slimy and have not a shred of charisma. She affects me in that unpleasant way I had when I watched Twilight, and I have no desire to venture further and see more than the two episodes I have already seen. Plus, there is no point when I do not even find Isabel sexy anymore. The cast is terrible, the atmosphere is lacking, and you can see they are even adapting the narrative in a pretty stupid way. This adaptation is just not any good. 0/10. ()
