Why must the directors change a movie from the book, to make the movie just seem dumb?
And if you don't agree with me, then read the 2 comments above^^^Another similar tip:
You don't want to watch it so don't bother :) (unless you feel like ranting)
oh, and btw.... Good job guys! Awesome rantings!
We are so good at it aren't we? :)
YES I agree. WORST BOOK-BASED MOVIE EVER. I'm boycotting the second movie when it comes out... Seriously, COMPLETE plot change and so many characters were not even as they were described in the book. Annabeth had brown hair instead of blonde!! Couldn't they have even dyed it? It's like they weren't even trying. I wanted to close my eyes during the movie because it was honestly ruining how I visualized the characters in these amazing books.
I LOVE DA BOOKS SO MUCH!!! RICK RIORDAN FOREVER!!!
I'll answer the question: Why would you go to a movie that was exactly like the book? A movie ticket costs at least $7.00 where I live, and for that money you can stay home and read the books. I am creating a poll based off of this now.
You would go to a movie that was exactly like the books to see how the director portrays the characters and the places they go and how it compares to your own thoughts. It makes the visuals in your head a little more real. But sometimes they do a terrible job of making a book-based movie and it's disappointing. My opinion is that if they're going to change so much in the movie, don't have the exact title as the book. That way they viewers won't be expecting as much of it.Why are you going to $7 movie theaters? Go to the dollar show.
That's what it costs....
lol, people but yeah i agree with Peter when it comes to that & i LOVE the books so much so i really hoped the movie was going to be good...which turned completely upside down....

WOW!You must have no social life.
Yeah, that's true. Sorry 'bout that. But....I don't know how to act "NORMALLY".
Yeah that movie was hard to take. Soooo cheesy, like a little kids movie, but too scary for little kids to watch. Arrrggh!!The main characters were supposed to be in 6th GRADE for crying out loud! But nooo they grabbed some high schoolers and put too much romantic tension between Percy & Annabeth. Grr.
Truer words were never spoken. Well, almost.
Why did they change the plot entirely? The 3 pearls were brought to Percy in one scene! It wasn't supposed to be the whole quest!And that multiple-headed beast in the museum? That was in THE SECOND BOOK, thank you very much. The whole scene should have been cut completely out.
And of course the thing about Annabeth not being blonde. They do that in LOTS of movies, but I can't help but be annoyed. Such a small detail that wouldn't have been hard for them to do right. Yet it turns out to be a big deal for the fans of the book!!
Yeah, why didn't they dye her hair or something? Or even a wig?
Seriously!Oh and Ares did'nt even show up once!!!!!!!!
There was no scorpion involved with Luke and Percy.
What about the trip to Vegas with the zoo animals??
No 3-headed dog for Annabeth to play fetch with in the Underworld.
The people at Camp Half-Blood weren't supposed to have a CLUE who Percy's god-parent was until much later! In the movie, they all knew since before he even came to camp.
Sigh, I could go on for a long time, I suppose. XD
Me too. I have a KITTY! Sorry, crazy about cats. Cat lover talking here.
The main thing I don't like is that Luke died.THAT DID NOT HAPPEN IN THE BOOKS!!Congrats on your kitten
Thank you. Her name's Mary. She loves me although she doesn't show it. :) Cat's are like that. Sorry animal person talking here.

im a cat lover too. look at my profile pic if you havn't worked it out yet :)
They got my hopes really high on the movie and i watched it when it first came out.................I was disappointed within the first 20 min of watching it.
nice job kaleigh! :)
oh my lord, i dont even want to think about the movie. now, whenever a movie's coming out based on one of my fav books, my friends and i always say "may it not be like percy jackson." everything was just so wrong in that movie that i try to forget that i even paid money to watch it. percy was wrong. annabeth was SOOOO wrong. grover was funny, but still not what i expected. luke was pathetic (who has a gaming system in their CABIN?!) camp half blood was so messed up. there was no kronos, no ares, no clarisse, NOTHING! and the whole "let's search the country to find pearls!" was just stupid if you ask me. yeah, the most i could ever give it is one star. it was just so...so horrible! a disgrace to percy jackson. it's depressing to see such an amazing series go down in flames :( i know one thing: i'm definitely not going to see the second one. (:(:(:greenplanet:):):)
Okay, here's what I think about the movie.
The book is way better than the movie! I wish they would've kept everything the same as in the book. But of course they didn't! :( Annabeth has blonde hair not brown. Chiron is brown not white. And what's up with Camp Half-Blood. There isn't even a hill! Goodness. Everything is wrong. BUT, I guess the movie was okay if you never read the book.

oooh I just got a "CAUTION: unsocialized homeschooler" shirt! hahahahahaha! :)
You're so awesome! I want a shirt like that! And I wouldn't give the movie ONE star. Just half of a star.
I've always wanted to get one but only now have I actually had money. :) YEA!
ONLY half a star to the movie! ONLY!!!!!
GTG guys, sorry my mom needs to get on the computer.
Bye! Oh, also.....Hi again! I don't think anybody is on though.....

who cares! toast is toast! it doesn't matter what color! who cares about chiron's complexion!?!
Yeah I don't care about that....I just care about the bigger things! Although I guess Annabeth's hair is a small thing...But actually it's a big thing because that is partly why Percy likes her.
Nooo, he is brown. I just read it.
hm................mine says white.
Okay, whatever. IT doesn't matter..lol.
I get stressed when people bother with stuff that isn't important. Every page or so people will say "EVERYBODY AGREES ALREADY! The movie stunk and the book rocked. Kapesh?" and then people go "I agree" and then start the whole thing over again. Anyways I think 13 pages is enough unless somebody has groundbreaking info... ? But I have to read this thread because it bothers me when there are red "3 new posts" links on my home page. I think I may be a bit OCD. :)
oh..........................600 comments is a lot

Oh, the part about fighting with Medusa. It was absurd. What the heck Percy put out an Iphone? Sure, the director want this is a kind of humor. I don't know, but I just hate rich kids... oh, never mind. And Grover use a car or a truck or something and run over Medusa and she die?
AND WHERE IS KRONOS!!!!
The book was really really good! I don't know why they make a movie like this. Uugh!
