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

Andre and Sophie They basically made their own story with the title and the characters.

Evan Logan Lerman played percy. The book was four stars and AT BEST the movie was two stars.

Trini the movie to me was disappointing! they made it a way that you cant continue the movie because of what they made Hades seems like! The movie was stupid to me and it ruined the book! if they werent going to make the movie right then they should've made it at all!

Trini i dont see how since Hades wife shot him with the lighting bolt(i was like WTF @ that part)!


message 912: by MizziQ (new) - rated it 5 stars

MizziQ well they have a contract for two more. idk


Andre and Sophie I KNOW! Persephone wasn't even supposed to be there! And she shoots him with a lightning bolt and seduces Grover? That is just... wrong.


message 914: by Sarah (new) - rated it 5 stars

Sarah Yeah I agree too! The movie was just messed up!


message 915: by Trini (new) - rated it 5 stars

Trini i just think that the director should try to make it somewhat like the book and stop adding extra stuff that dont need to be in there....


Andre and Sophie Exactly!

That's all I've been trying to say! They need to just stick to the book because the book did it right.


message 917: by Trini (new) - rated it 5 stars

Trini i hope that the sea of monster book isnt going to disappoint us that bad.... because all movies are disappointing cuz the books are wayy much better!


Andre and Sophie Sea of Monsters was my least favorite of the series. I can just imagine what they'll do with the movie...


Andre and Sophie Oh my gosh! They completely left out the fight with ARES! They also left out the part where Hades' helm was also stolen and that was why he was after them! Ugh!
Let me just stop thinking about this because it just annoys me even more.


message 920: by Trini (new) - rated it 5 stars

Trini it was my less favorite too but i just hope they didnt do anything crazy like have tyson die or something... who know whats gon happen... smh

Sarah I can't believe that Chris Columbus directed it! He did Harry Potter great so why did this bomb!


Andre and Sophie I wish he had directed the 7th harry potter because it was bad! I mean not bad. Confusing. If I hadn't read the book I probably would have been lost. Also they left out some crucial parts of scenes that they included in the part 1.


Yasmeen Even the ages were wrong...Percy was around 12 years old in the first book..

But Logan looks alot like how i imagined Percy...

I completly agree. But I actually saw the movie first and fell in love, but after i read the books i couldnt believe how much they left out.

Actually they did it was in the museum but that was the only mention.

Dakota Moral watch the movie first that way your less disapointed


Marissa Lipschutz The movie was TOTALLY DIFFERENT from the book. The lightning thief wasn't even right. Also for all you people that are trashing the movie they didn't forget they took it out to make the movie better. But the movie wasn't better!


Marissa Lipschutz Lauren wrote: "The characters were WAY too old, Annabeth was supposed to have blonde hair and grey eyes, Grover's personality was WAY OFF! In the book they didn't go on a big journey to find the pearls!!!!"

You are soo right and Annabeth was supposed to be next to Percy when he woke up and say," Do you know you drool in your sleep?" or something like that. The movie very much disappointed me!!!


Rhiannon The Movie was one of the worst movies based off a book, that I've ever seen!


message 930: by Sarah (new) - rated it 5 stars

Sarah They were going to put the sence where Percy wakes up and see Annabeth, but they thought it would be more romantic if they had that silent stare! That got me mad!


Yasmeen AAAAAAAAAAAH...directors..


Madeline why directors... why?


Rhiannon Directors really.......are....making...me...mad...recently....


Andre and Sophie I WANNA CUT YOUR HEAD OFF CUZ THE MOVIE WAS SO BAD CHRIS COLUMBUS!


message 935: by Sarah (new) - rated it 5 stars

Sarah Wow! I guess we all agree we are mad at Chris Columbus!


Madeline heck yeah!


Andre and Sophie WOOO! TEAM HATE CHRIS COLUMBUS!


Rhiannon Yeah: )


Kaleigh - Captain Bubbles ESTP(intj) Ha ha. Totally. I liked the actor for Hades though. He looked okay. And Grover was bugging me through the WHOLE movie. He was supposed to be funny, and goofy. Not like the movie Grover. Ach!! And they did NOT know already that Percy's father was Poseidon! They didn't figure that out until AFTER the Capture the Flag game. I was SO looking forward for seeing his sign!!!!!


Andre and Sophie ME TOO! Maybe in like 30 years they'll do a remake. And it will be good! And stick to the BOOK!


Kaleigh - Captain Bubbles ESTP(intj) Yeah. Sorry but that reminds me of Tron because they remade that too, didn't they?


Kaleigh - Captain Bubbles ESTP(intj) Sorry! Off topic! Don't listen to me! Well you can if you want.


Andre and Sophie Yeah. Jeff Bridges was in the original and the new one.


P.S. ISN'T GARRET HEDLUND (or whatever his last name is) SO CUTE?!


Rhiannon

It does remind me of Tron. Out of curiosity, I watched the 1st Tron on Netflix. I saw the 2nd one first, and I think it was WAY better. But it makes sense because it's newer!!

He was kind've cute....but I like Taylor Lautner better: )

I HATE THE PERCY JACKSON MOVIE!! Whenever I watch t, I get REALLY mad at the director. Ugh!




message 945: by Juliet (new) - rated it 5 stars

Juliet they cut out the capture the flag scene, well actually they didn't but they made it completely different from the book and I LOVED that part!!!


Rhiannon Me too! Posiedon Rocks!! (don't think I spelled that right lol: )


Yasmeen OMGG Sophie..Garret is really cute :0


message 948: by [deleted user] (new)

AWKWARD. -_-


Kaleigh - Captain Bubbles ESTP(intj) Who's Garret Hedlund or whatever? I might have seen him before just don't know his name. I don't know many actors names.


message 950: by [deleted user] (new)

I'm wondering that too.
