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

Max Palladini What I don't get with movies from books is why they need to cut out so many important details. It ruins the movie. If they'd just make a disk one and disk to to break the movie up they could produce a film something the fantastic book.


Kaleigh - Captain Bubbles ESTP(intj) Clarisse was one of my favorites!


Cassandra~Batgirl the movie deeply angered me, they mentioned chronos ONCE and they didn't portay him as the bad guy. There was no battle between percy and ares, clarisse at all! Percy was never angry at his father and anabeth and all her siblings have to have grey eyes and blonde hair!( was it so hard to give her a wig!)

I actually got SO angry seeing a photo of "Annabeth." It's like sacrilegious to have her have brown hair! NO NO NO NO NO. BAD. SHAAAAAAME ON THE CASTING DIRECTORS. SHAAAAME.


message 233: by Kaylee~ (new)

Kaylee~ I KNOW RIGHT! I WAS SO PO'D THAT IT WASN'T EVEN FUNNY!


message 234: by Sonia (new) - rated it 5 stars

Sonia Jarmula I haven't seen it, but someone said that her siblings were blond? That's just wrong. They should be chased by Ceberus or something. Or Orks. No wait, that's LOTR, ahaha. I'm sure there are lots of Greek monsters that could teach them a good lesson about messing with the wonderful series... don't you guys agree? ;)


message 235: by Kaylee~ (new)

Kaylee~ yaehits like all true....... the movie sucks.....except poker face part....


Ravenfrozt only part i liked in the movie was the medusa part which was actually in the book. Casting was awful! i mean, Annabeth percy and the rest of the gang are supposed to be like 12 or something.
SHAME ON YOU DIRECTORS. Hey i also went to rick riordan's site and he doesn't look like he is too happy with the movie either.


Ravenfrozt RANTS ON THE MOVIE VERSION OF ANNABETH:
- NO seaweed brain??? i <3 that line. i mean wth, how can u leave out that part?? seriously
- What's with the love interest?? that doesn't start to happen until like the last book. [stupid]
- Annabeth is NOT A BRUNETTE! she is blonde duh.
- Annabeth is not 16, She's 12! major stuff up!
those are my main rants on the character Annabeth [ i wish i could say to the directors faces] i have more but i can't be bothered to typing my other 96 rants.
Please feel free to add on to the list of rants on Annabeth. When we are done let's do percy, then grover and so on. Anybody like my idea???
Sorry for the length of my comment. i only just realised! lol! i could go on all day...

manticores, minotaurs, hydras, medusa, hellhounds


Sᴀᴅɪʏᴀ my dad said they didnt make them 12 cuz its hard 2 find good actors who are 12 and stuff


message 242: by Kaylee~ (new)

Kaylee~ yah.....but still


message 243: by Juliet (last edited May 19, 2011 03:03PM) (new) - rated it 5 stars

Juliet they could have if they put any actual effort into making the movie


message 244: by MizziQ (new) - rated it 5 stars

MizziQ I don't think any teenagers or older would have watched it if they had them 12 in the movie. They were really trying to target a lot of people with this movie, and 12 just woudn't work. I agree they could have done better but I like them older. Besides we really, in the back of our heads, knew it wasn't going to be the same. They might as well make it enjoyable for people who haven't read the book if they can't please the people who have.


Sᴀᴅɪʏᴀ yea and we all no tat ratio is way bigger


message 246: by MizziQ (new) - rated it 5 stars

MizziQ Too bad though. :( I just don't think about the other when I'm reading/watching and I enjoy them...


message 247: by Juliet (new) - rated it 5 stars

Juliet I would have liked it better if there were younger actors, I would have found it more relatable to the story.

Not really. Some of it was cats, waffles, and french toast.
