An absolute joke!
Every character from the book has been distorted into a predictable Disney cartoon of good v evil. Hester is now a romantic, Catherine can nod operate large machinery for no reason, Pod is not even a thing and Valentine was just turned into a sociopathic villain hell bent on being a leader. The characters were all 1 sided and odious to watch not that they even let you get to know them. The train wreck of the ending was distorted from a tale of tragedy a Star Wars style family reunions to a big explosion that physically doesn't make sense because no one got injured by a NUKE and everyone getting a smiling ending holding hands singing kumbaya.
You thought it was in good hands with Peter Jackson but if he had actually read the 4 book sequel you wouldn't have known. The books made sense and the characters had depth of mind rather than just hate, love, power and so called duty bound reasons to do things. When London explodes in the book it is not because of one big push of four teenagers but a war of historians and stalkers and changed minds and why was Catherine just allowed to pull the breaks and save the city like that. COP OUT. It's boring compared to the books.
Special mention of aesthetic hate to Hester's barely visible, dainty scar just gracing her cheek and to Shrike the zombie instead of an indestructible machinery dreadlocked cyborg who talks about love and then just dies for no reason.
