Well i think there should be another one that is actually like the book. I mean he doesnt throw a trident at his neck they dont even fight in the book. Logan Lerman (percy) very good choice. They didnt even mention kronos.

Gee. I started reading Percy Jackson and the Olympian novels just last Thursday. Now I’m starting the 4th book but before I continue reading, I decided I should see the Lightning Thief movie first so that I’d be able to visualize the characters in the book as to how they look in the movie.

The movie started really different from the book. I constantly reminded myself that movie adaptations from books can’t always stick to the real story. You know, there are a lot of things to consider like your resources and all that stuff. So I felt this need to appreciate the story.

Well, just in the beginning.

As the story goes on, I noticed that my appreciation turned into disappointment. I thought the director and the guys in the production messed a lot. See, they’ve changed the whole story. Its like they just took some details from the book then made a whole new different story. Such a mess. I’ve never been disappointed in movie adaptations until I’ve seen this. Poor Rick. His books are awesome. Now they ruined the story and I don’t think I’d be convinced to watch the other installments (if ever they can still do movie adaptations. unbelievable)

I think they use whoever acted as Grover as Grover because he has curly hairs. PEOPLE! IT’S SO HARD TO FIND A WHITE PERSON, WITH CURLY HAIR WHO IS ALSO A GREAT ACTOR! The Annabelle part was bad, I admit. Ok, ok.

I completely agree. The movie was nothing like the book: Percy was CLEARLY older than 12, Annabeth wasn’t blonde, and Grover isn’t supposed to be… well, uh, African American. I felt as though I was watching a spinoff of the book in a movie, not the actual movie itself. I would also love to see a “Harry Potter” like development, where the audience who reads the books actually grows up with the movies, (I was eleven when I read the first book.) Many of my friends (who have all read the books) think that the movie was forced and that Rick Riordan didn’t really read the script enough to realize that it wasn’t his book.
Despite all this, the movie was good enough for me to spend $20 and get it on DVD. It was great for what it was. Still though, I would’ve loved to see some actual “Lightning Thief” and “Percy Jackson Action,” not… well… what ever THAT was…

I think the movie was great even thought it didn’t follow the book at all. Luckily it followed the same plot line though. Tip if you are going to do another percy jackson movie make it ten times more like the book. One other thing you really screwed up annabeth.
Blond Hair DUH!!

“Great special effects but I just could not get past this Hollywood preoccupation with having to make every hero an American, and set every film in America, no matter whether it spoils the movie or not. For example, sorceres’ apprentice is descended from Merlin yet lives in the States, obviously, and Kevin Costner plays the part of Robin Hood with a broad Yankee accent. But in Percy Jackson they made it one degree more ridiculous by portraying the inheritor of Poseidon’s powers inexplicably as a New York jew. Still, at least he got the brunette goyische shiksa in the end. And no doubt, if Chris Columbus ever remakes “The Ten Commandments” he’ll make sure Moses has a broad Welsh accent, just to balance things up a bit. “
