very appropriate. :)

It's really very obvious. Haha.


MizziQ a little. :)


Taylor Simons I really don't see the problem here. Just because they are younger in the book doesn't mean they can find an exact role in that age group to fit that person. That is why most actors and actresses are older than their actually role character. So there is no problem with this at all.

except in these books, the age matters because Percy is supposed to fulfill the prophecy when he turns 16, which he was already in the movie, so there is a problem

Yeah, they should've said he was like twelve. Because most actors act a younger or older age.


Sᴀᴅɪʏᴀ i wouldnt have minded if he was like at least pretending to be 14 but the were way off on this


Madeline yeah:(


Sᴀᴅɪʏᴀ now i feel as if everything to be said has been said (unless u guys wanna bring somting els up about it)


Juliet we can just keep complaining about it......lol


Sᴀᴅɪʏᴀ lol like tat post about the movie- why do directors make the movie look so dumb or sumthing like tat???


Juliet yep, I think we had over 1000 comments on that one


Sᴀᴅɪʏᴀ lol tat was funny i stopped posting on that after the 5th page

Please write with normal grammar and spelling...I couldn't get a thing.


MizziQ That's just how she types... Translation:

Allright this is what is so sick, you know how we all were complaining about the ages being way off? Well, I went online to see what the ages of the actual actors were and guess what? The age diffrence between the actors that play Percy and Annabeth are five years! I was like "What the heck!" Who agrees?


Sᴀᴅɪʏᴀ lol sory i get a little carried away sometimes and mostly typos but i'm working on it =D
(and annabeth is 5 yrs older than percy)


Donevan (Zeme) the age of the acter are the age most demigod never survive to i agree.

ikr it's totally off!


Natalie well, they do that in all movies, right? the actors ages are way off.


Samantha Natalie wrote: "well, they do that in all movies, right? the actors ages are way off."

I wonder why they don't choose the right ages. The people have to know that it is way off and isn't going to make all the readers happy...


Samantha Harry Potter had the right age!!!!!

Ditto.


Sofiiiiiiieee y y would they do this to us :(


Danielle Now that I've thought about it a bit maybe the directers thought the movie would appeal to more people if the actors were teens not 12. Idk but it would make sense, the directors have to come up with a way to sell the movie and get people to come spend their money on the movie. Sadly they must think that if the main character is 12 no one would want to watch it (excepting Percy Jackson book fans). Me thinks the only reason the movie did well is because there are so many dedicated PJ fans that came on opening night (me) and days afterward to see their fav book on the big screen. Weren't we disappointed.
