I think my expectations for this one might have been too high. I know classrooms of kids were enamored with it. The animation was beautiful and the story was good but didn’t blow me away.

So, if I had known this was a Clary/Jace meets historical Ghibli film situation, I would have skipped this one—the second hand discomfort is palpable—but it was a beautiful film with incredible art, masterful slice of life story telling, and a sweet relationship. It doesn’t wrap up as neatly as I would have liked, but presumably they wanted an open ending. I think kids would be confused by the plot, better for a teen plus audience, imo.

Alright, I tried to give this a fair shake despite low ratings because I love vampire movies and Marvel, but not even the delightful Matt Smith could save this one. Really the main cast was good. It was the writing/plot that did it in - broody and predictable.

Look I don’t have any FNAF background knowledge but I thought the first movie was fun, compelling, and cohesive — the second one was a narrative train wreck with many plot holes, bad pacing, and absolutely no good jokes. It still gets a star for cool visuals and fun music and Josh Hutcherson, but overall, I was disappointed
