Loved the books! But the movie was not very well produced... Even the Mortal Instruments, that also had a lot of very bad reviews... was better than this book adaptation. The cast is good, they are perfect for the roles. The whole movie leaves a very incomplete feeling, it leaves you with the feeling that you were supposed to see something happening that actually did not happen. It did not felt like a movie, it felt like a long trailer.

Book to movie adaptations usually aren't fantastic so I had low expectations for this movie. At the beginning it looked like I was going to end up pleased. The characters were enjoyable, Arriane was exciting and I was looking forward to seeing some more character development with her, as I was with Roland, and Cam, and Molly, and.... honestly every other character in the movie, with the exception of Luce. But it didn't come, even Cam got a maximum of 20 minutes of screen time, Roland was probably there for about 5 minutes and said a total of about 10 words and a few "wooo"'s. This movie honestly needed to be another 30 minutes at least, not to mention cutting out some of Luces brooding. I had low expectations already, but once I got to the end they were even lower. It had so much potential and unfortunately most of the movie was Luce and Daniel brooding which wouldn't have been a problem if there had've been an extra 30 minutes of jam packed action at the end involving all the other characters. This wasn't the case at all, and the ending totally ruined the entire movie. I still had hope for this movie at this point, and I was looking forward to seeing some actual conversations between a few of the characters, and it just ended. Obviously this is only the first book, but I have doubts about another movie being made, and I really don't think that was a satisfying ending. A real shame because I think there was so much potential, especially if the post processing had've been better. A lot of the time the words didn't match the scene on the screen. Super irritating and definitely made the movie feel unprofessional.

TLDR; Hardly any character interactions, supporting characters just stood there in the background of classrooms, total brood-fest of Luce and Daniel, at least 30 minutes too short, unprofessional post processing

I read these books in anticipation for the movie. I've been waiting forever for the movie to release. I finally watched it and as with Vampire Academy they tried WAY too hard to make this something it wasn't. They changed many things and brought in things from the other books. They barely showed the other characters. It was just a big mess to me. I mean maybe if I hadn't have read the books I may have enjoyed it a little more but I would have had SOOOOOOOO many more questions if I didn't know what was going on already. I doubt it will get any sequels due to the fans of the books not enjoying the movie. I would like to see if they could get better as the Twilight movies did but I don't think they will take that chance.

I have read this book for year after year. I read the whole serious numerous times. But I have never been so disappointed in my life watching this movie, It was completely ruined. I waited a long time for this movie and now that I have seen it I wish I didn't because it is nothing like the book, poor acting and graphics and scenes that were completely different including the end scene. I said what the hell at least 4 times a minute.

The Fallen series by Lauren Kate are one of the best YA Fallen Angel series there is, however the movie was not up to the greatness that the books provide. This adaptation was enjoyable, the actors they choose where really good based on their character's descriptions, but something was missed, I hope they make the rest of the series otherwise this movie is laking immensely on the deepness of the story line. It will not make sense at all. I suggest reading the books instead or after you watch this, definitely it didn't do it justice.

This was so bad I forced my self to give it 2. Bad acting, bad story,characters are flat and uninteresting, idea of fallen angels and the reason for being on the earth wouldn't buy even preschool kids... It was like this film was made by bunch of teen twilight fans, and made very badly. Waste of time.

Honestly, this movie is great but, it was also awful. I know a lot of people hate in these reviews but this movie i honestly felt like i should give one too. The movie itself seemed pretty good, the plot and the actors were excellent but, the ending was not an ending. I know a lot of people just say its an open ending, but this was such a bad timing, its almost like the movie started with a budget and just used it up before they could ever finish it and decided it would just end. I have never read the book, and i just found this movie in a trailer, but if you like teen romances and you just want to watch a great movie, then you should watch it. But if you are looking for a really good, deep thought movie, then this is not the one. I really liked it but it went so fast and was so predictable. I gave it 6 stars because it is both great and awful at the same time. Hope you enjoy!

Fallen is a movie based on a book by Lauren Kate. It should be the first movie in the series but since there were a lot of distribution problems, I doubt this will become a franchise. The book could have been better, but it was decent. Flawed, but decent. This is just kinda lame.

I like how it tried to keep the moody and Gothic atmosphere, but it all just felt amateurish and low budget, I couldn't take it very seriously. The first two thirds are a bit slow paced and then the last third feels so rushed, you don't really get to know anything. You just get a lot of exposition, things just happen but nothing interesting, so the climax just comes off as forced. The one plus of the movie is Lola Kirke as the geeky best friend Penn. She seems to be the only one who actually got into this and tried to make something good. She stole every scene she was in. She's the most memorable character of the movie and she's not even one of the leads. The lead actress is pretty much Kristen Stewart in Twilight. There's really not much difference. The rest of the characters, they are just there. Even that is hard to believe because you just don't notice them.

This was the opportunity to improve the story, but it just made the whole thing worse. I'm not even sure if fans will like this.

Yes..it's a bit disappointing if you compare it to the novel version. Apart from the changes in the movie scene, the whole story line much less the same as in the novel. Some of the details and chemistry between Daniel and Lucinda was not highlighted in this movie and some characters must be clearly described in order for the audiences who did not read the novel to get a deep understanding on this movie. But I do wonder why is the "white peonies" does not appear in the scenes because that symbolize the love between Luce and Daniel. Overall, the whole movie is okay....and I love both of them, Jeremy Irvine and Addison Timlin plays the character of Daniel and Lucinda....

Is there an algorithm that writes these kind of movies and books? Just like all the identical Hallmark Christmas movies, this movie could just have been called City of Bones/The Mortal Instruments/Shadow Hunters, Twilight, Divergent, True Blood. Take your pick.

I'm a HUGE fan of the books and overall I think they did a pretty good job with the movie. Some parts were cheesy but not any cheesier than the entire Shadowhunters tv show and that gets a lot of love. It did end WAY abruptly and with the amount of time it took them to get this movie out I was expecting more. All that said, I still liked it and would like a second one. Some scenes really were beautiful so it made up for anything lacking in my department. You've got your regular things missing that happen with book to movie adaptations but it's easy to get past the little things

The moment story was picking up ,it ended....it felt incomplete , short , poorly directed & edited. May be the second in series could justify the first one.....but the wait is long ....So disappointed. Gave five because the cast was perfect n had the potential to pull it ,if it was written and directed properly.

Acting was really bad, typical high school drama level, and in some cases such as school personnel you would think they had never been in a school. Teen level plot of eye candy lovers with Bible history 101 as their backgrounds as they seem to be immersed in the story of the fallen angels doomed to stay on Earth as a result of the conflict between God and Lucifer (i.e. Satan). The building for these trouble teens seemed like a prop for a Victorian horror set. The CGI was cheap and the dialogue high school level. Scenes were dumbed down, e.g. the students sneaking out for an all night kegger in which kegs appear out of nowhere in this isolated setting.

Having read the book more times than i can count i was really worried about how the film would turn out. Even though the scenes have been changed and and it doesn't match the book i was still hooked and could see the imagined story unfold before my eyes. the background story was still there even if the book wasn't (which to be honest it wasn't) i would still watch again and i would still read the book again and love both. a film cannot be perfect or be true to a fans liking but if u haven't read the book its an interesting watch and possibly love.

The teenager Lucinda "Luce" Price (Addison Timlin) is brought to the Sword and Cross reformatory by her parents to comply with a court order since she was accused for the death of her boyfriend Trevor (Leo Suter) in a fire. However Luce blames shadows for the incident and is considered lunatic. On the arrival, Luce is instructed about the rules and regulations in the school and has contact with the rebel student Cameron "Cam" Briel (Harrison Gilbertson) and then with Arriane Alter (Daisy Head). She visits the library and is welcomed by Miss Sophia (Joely Richardson) that gives books for her and is confronted by the weird Molly Zane (Sianoa Smit-McPhee). Then she befriends the student Pennyweather "Penn" (Lola Kirke) and she feels attracted by Daniel Grigori (Jeremy Irvine), who saves her from a falling statue of an angel. On the next days she is courted by Cam and Daniel and has flashbacks from Trevor's accident and an apparently her past life. She also has a class with Miss Sophia about the war of the angels and the falling angels. When Penny and Luce research with their friend Todd Hammond (Chris Ashby) about Daniel, they find a XIX century picture of Luce and Daniel. However there is a fire in the library caused by shadows and Todd dies. What is the secret of the Sword and Cross?

"Fallen" is another silly romance indicated for young teenagers and fans of "Twilight" only. Adults will probably find it desipient since after so many centuries angels should be more mature. The screenplay is not good and there is no explanation why the fallen angels live at Sword and Cross. The concept of angels with lightened wings is original and the soundtrack is very beautiful. And that is all. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Fallen - O Filme" ("Fallen - The Movie")

Note: On 18 March 2023, I saw this film again on Blu-Ray.

Honestly quite enjoyable. I'm surprised there are such bad reviews. I really liked it however it became too hard to focus on the movie and I had to look away from the screen each time the lights were flashing and flickering. Gave me a major headache and thank god I grew out of having epilepsy because it would've triggered a seizure. They don't have a warning for epilepsy at all and it's quite...maddening. Plus there's a bunch of scenes with the flicking lights that are about 2 mins each so it's very overwhelming. That's the only bad thing about the movie and the fact there's no sequel. The acting was really good in my opinion and it had my full undivided attention unless the lights were flicking which is great cause my ADHD always makes it hard to finish a movie but not this one 😁

I wish that I could give this movie 0 stars but I can't. I've read this book countless times over the years and I loved it... it's one of my favorite book series and I could read it a million more times after this and still be in love with it when I read it. But I'm telling you... DO. NOT. watch this movie if you have read the book, or even if you haven't read the book. They did a crap job on the movie: the actors/actresses were crap, the way they portrayed the story line was crap, they scenes that they did include from the book were so twisted that it's almost as if I didn't even recognize it, and they left out a whole bunch of scenes that I feel needed to be in the movie. I just feel as though they could've done a lot better on the movie and I'm disappointed that I wasted an hour and a half watching this... this monstrosity of a movie and I could've used that hour and a half for a lot of better things. I just did not like this movie and they did a crap job and I wish that they could've done more with this instead of doing what they did. It almost feels as though they put it together quickly and did not even read the book. Do not waste your time on this movie... I wish I didn't.

As a fan of the books, I've waited for a while to see the movie, and even tho' they could have done a few things better, and I wasn't thrilled with their choice of actor for Cam, I still feel like they did and overall good job. I'm really happy I got to see it and I hope they really do make that sequel. Bummer that for some reason it wasn't shown in cinemas, just kinda feels like they had some bad luck with the advertisement for the movie. Either way it's definitely worth the watch, it might not amaze you but it will not leave you high and dry.

First let me say that for me to not give a movie at least an 8 there has to be some serious issues. I don't like giving negative or constructive criticism reviews. I typically find things to like that might be on a deeper and not surface level. That didn't happen here.

So I did not read the books so I didn't know what to expect, but I did expect there to be some actual closure at the end of the movie or a full lead up introducing a second movie (which I don't think ever happened) the character development was seriously lacking. I get the whole dark and broody thing but the movie still left you guessing if certain people were good or bad. No information on why some characters may have gone from light to dark or dark to light and what the backstory is. I saw where they were going with it but it seemed like what should have been a much longer movie or at minimum a couple of movies was edited down into a watered down story. Totally left me wanting more and let down that I would never get more. I feel incomplete and confused. All of that said, the actors did an impeccable job in playing the characters. I enjoyed the movie and the cinematography was amazing, but it just left me with questions and wanting more, including an ending that had conclusion. I really do wish they had made a follow up movie.
