Why must the directors change a movie from the book, to make the movie just seem dumb?

Adela Bezemer-Cleverley It's unfortunate that this happens with so many amazing books being turned into movies. I have to admit I was never fully satisfied with the Harry Potter movies other than the first two. Sometimes the books are just too much for producers to handle! But we shouldn't let the awful movie tarnish our love of Percy Jackson and the Olympians-- to be honest, the thing that bothered me the most was that the main characters looked too old and Annabeth looked nothing like she was described.

Kaleigh - Captain Bubbles ESTP(intj) I am not letting it ruin my love for the books! I JUST FREAKING CRAZY HATE THE MOVIE!! Sorry if your confused, I accidentally commented on my sister Morynn's account before I knew it.


Julia My teacher made us write an essay on how different the book and the movie are. She read the book out loud to most of the classes (not mine. the advanced class had to read it on our own.) and when we were done she showed us the movie.


Kaleigh - Captain Bubbles ESTP(intj) Sweet! She must love HP too.

same here


Andre and Sophie I used to be home-schooled for 4 years but I missed my friends. Now my mom is putting me back in private school.

Casey Short I liked the movie, but it was so far from the book! The movie was good, but they messed it up from the book so much that they probably can't make another movie. Or if they do it won't be hardly like the book at all.


message 886: by Dakota (new) - rated it 5 stars

Dakota It would be better if they didnt use the name Percy Jackson so they could make a movie that relates to the book and still have that movie because it was OK but not great like if they were to make it based off the book...


Andre and Sophie Actually the next one is coming out in 2012. But I see what you mean. Every change they made with the movie was a step backwards from the AWESOMENESS of the books.


message 888: by Dakota (new) - rated it 5 stars

Dakota You explained it better than me lol


Kaleigh - Captain Bubbles ESTP(intj) :) Everyone is correct. The movie isn't HORRIBLE, but, it is so far from the books it almost is.


message 890: by Sarah (new) - rated it 5 stars

Sarah I can't believe that Chris Columbus made the movie so dumb!!!! If he made Harry Potter so good why couldn't he make this the new thing!!!!!:(


Kaleigh - Captain Bubbles ESTP(intj) I.K.R.??????? What is with the movie!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!!!?!?!!


Andre and Sophie Did he write it or direct and write it?


message 893: by [deleted user] (new)

good q


message 894: by Sarah (new) - rated it 5 stars

Sarah He was the Director!:( That why I also thought it was horrible because he does great movie except Percy Jackson! That kind of made me mad!


message 895: by Morgan (new) - rated it 5 stars

Morgan I know! Compared to the book the movie sucked! I mean, it was ok in its own right but it was almost nothing like the book!

agreed


message 898: by Morgan (new) - rated it 5 stars

Morgan exactly my piont! if they hadnt used percy's name it would have been a good movie. but they used his name and tried to base it off the book but that failed miserably


Yasmeen okay..the movie skipped the BEST parts..they just skipped all Percy's journey to the Underworld..it was just Medusa and the Hotel thing and that was it...What about the oracle and the fight with Ares and CLARISSA?


message 900: by [deleted user] (new)

ik......dissapoinnting..... the movie didn't even go w/ the book.. :(
