how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score β the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 53 comments (50 from Metacritic, 3 from TMDB reviews) β 12 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 12 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
It plays better than it reviews β the watch lands harder than the write-ups suggest.
βMake no mistake, there will be a sequel. Clary may not wind up having the same pop-culture impact as Bella and Katniss, but like it or not, this won't be the last time you hear from her.β

βEverything chugs along briskly and reasonably entertainingly until running off the rails a bit with a wildly overcomplicated finale.β
Bruce Ingram, Chicago Sun-Times Β· 63
βIf you love exposition and shapely if bland young actors in leather, skinny jeans, knee boots, Goth cocktail dresses and heavy eye makeup, this may be the movie for you.β
Roger Moore, McClatchy-Tribune News Service Β· 50
βThere are elements worth celebrating. The movie is thankfully less self-serious than the mopey βTwilightβ films. The Mortal Instruments revels in its own camp. But there is plenty of room for improvement. The action flick is overly long, complicated and, even by teen romance standards, cringe-worthy in its cheesiness.β
Stephanie Merry, Washington Post Β· 50
βStart with a heaping helping of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." Throw in some "Percy Jackson," a dash of "Twilight," a spoonful of "The Vampire Diaries" and a sprinkling of "Harry Potter," and you end up with The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones.β

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

βI have not read the books. Judging by the reviews from people who have read them that seems to be a good thing as most of them seem to complain that the movie is not a good representation of the books. Then, when looking at the book ratings at Goodreads there seems to be a rather large spread between reviews loving the book and reviews hating it. If I had read the books I would expect them to sit on my young adult shelf in Goodreads. At least the movie is clearly for a teenage audience. Neverβ

βBad and disjointed movie created at the warmth of Harry Potter and Hunger Games series. Only, this time doesn't work at all. Lot's of FX for an incoherent and boring story. Worst of all, no reason to call this episode "City of Bones" since it doesn't play a major role, at all. At least, not in the movie.β

βI absolutely love this movie and I will die on this hill. Yes it's campy and a bit predictable, but it's light hearted, fun, and entertaining. The acting isn't the best I've seen, but the casting is still perfect. It doesn't align perfectly with the books, but I don't think that scores against it. I've lost track of how many times I've rewatched it. 10/10 flawlessβ
