Yeah they changed a lot. For one thing percy aged like sixteen or something while in the book is he like twelve. And annabeth is a brunette who is actually twenty six in real life. Bleugh!

so yeah just curious
So I heard they are making the second into a movie... That means since they changed alot in the first even more wil be different in the second.! Not sure what i think about that.
Please...remake it with a decent producing team.
Hmmp.. I hate it that they ruin the book..
i know theres some parts that are like crucial to the next movie so my guess why there isnt a next movie yet is cus of that
The movie didn't have Ares...I actually liked him!
Annoyance! That movie was really nothing like the book!!! I mean, the reason for going to medusa's and all those other places was all wrong. Plus, they didn't have clairisse and ares, so how can they make the second movie right?
the movie was horrible compared to the book two thumbs down
they are making The Sea of Monsters into a movie... EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! my friend said that the movie was awesome and i looked her like she was crazy...and she wasnt kidding. i agree with u clara, scream!!!!!!!
Percy never even met Ares! And when they were in the underworld in the book Persephone wasn't there!
the movie wasnt anything at all like the book there are a lot of important pats missing!
what about the prophecy and him turning sixteen?!!
A half-blood of the eldest gods,
shall reach sixteen against all odds...
i mean, he's already sixteen in the first movie! how are they going to do the prophecy?! they made a mess of the book.

They changed sooooo much that I was a little bit dissapointed... I thought he was suppose to be younger.
this is sooo ridicalous (ridiculious)!
its virtually impossible for them to make another movie

I think everybody who had read the book would realize. The movie was not as great and as hilarious as the book :)
It was missing the humor, action and all. It was definitely a terrible movie.
Do you think I should watch the movie??? Reply...
I agree, it sucked, except for the pen scene, that was hilarious :)Zsiddiqui wrote: "Do you think I should watch the movie??? Reply..."
if you've already read the lightning thief, no, you shouldn't because it really has nothing to do with the book, but if you haven't... well, there's not much to lose then
I read the series, everyone says that the movie is amazing! Basically, I'm 50/50... I'll ask a few people then get back to you!
i'm not sure how you could miss it if you read the book at all. the movie is one of the worst things that's ever happened. you change that much crap, the story falls apart. they needed to smooth it over with a completely different story line or something lol.
PS. I wonder if the directors read the book...
well i dont know who ur considering "everybody" c uz theres a different book discussion and litteraly EVERYONE hated the movie
Zsiddiqui wrote: "Do you think I should watch the movie??? Reply..."well... personally my answer will be no... just avoid the movie if you have read the book...
I also hated how the quest concept was to find the pearls....
The movie was quite different from the novel, though sometimes it is an attempt to simplify things for the viewer, but they should not leave the hard-core important parts out.The movie could have been better..
I was so mad at the movie!! If they would have changed the Harry Potter movies that much, people would have freaked out!! This book could have worked in film just as well if they would have followed the story line!!
This movie was crazy, it was almost like they made up a movie and through this book in along for the ride!

This book could have worked in film just as well if they would have followe..."haha. 'tis ironic as well as funny that you shall bring up that tonpic, Leah. In the harry Potter series, they do leave out some important parts and change it up/ add parts. for example, they skipped the whole scene where harry is in argus filtch's 'office' and harry finds this thing that says "can't do magic as well as other? well try-" and so filtch hates harry because harry found out that he was a quid. that is why filtch hates him so much. anyway, that is why filtch thinks that harry killed mrs norris. in the same event, the words that were written on the wall when mrs noris was petrified weren't written in blood. i could keep going, but i must give you an example of a time that they added.
in the second game (in the movie) and/or the first game that malfoy plays, harry catches the golden snitch right away, there is no chase for it between harry and draco.
i am forgetting right now but there was one part in the movie that they switched.
now you can see that (even though im only giving weak examples) the harry potter movies did leave some improtant parts out. you guys must have either: not been paying attention to the books or not paying attention to the movies.
THEY HAD NO CLARISSE!!!!!! THEY HAD NO TOILET SCENE!!!!!!!!! HOW THE HECK CAN PERCY AND ANNABETH AND GROVER DRIVE?????? THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE 12!!L!!!!!'!!!!'!!!!!!!!!!
They also had technology at Camp Half Blood; which is bad because the monsters can track with that.The prophecy was never heard of.
The cabins are in a U shape.
No Ares! (who plays a huge part in the book)
No abandoned amusement park where Percy and Annabeth run into a trap.
Oh and they showed Hades true form TWICE! Anyone who sees the Gods true form dies.
..... there are just too many things
The movie was really lame and I thought that the book is more interesting than the movie.(Duh) And when I heard there is a movie coming out I was kinda looking for the fight with Ares and the part when Clarisse drinks toilet water... :(
he-hem! do u guys just skip over waht i said. first u guys say that harry potter was executed well, but when i try to tell u details that might cahnge ur mind, you dont care.and i have one other thing that in harry potter is TOTALLY DIFFERent: hagrid is suppose to be a giant. not liek a human that is tall, but a monster looking thing/ ogar type. so HA!
Oh I am hilarious!!!!!!!
Anyway.... I wasn't even talking to you in the first place. I said I did because i thought the movie was missing things. SO GET YA FACTS STRAIGHT!!!
Well technically, be quiet with the muta truka thing and nope. I read every comment before i started mine
why should i back off
in the movie Percy was way too hot!it was distracting
haha
HELLS YES!
just look at Annabeths hair colour!!!!!WTF!!
just look at Annabeths hair colour!!!!!WTF!!
After watching it, I was very angry. I watched it again and made a large list of everything that was wrong. It was about four pages in size 11 font. Plus, I forgot to put down some things because I was basically writing the list during the entire movie.
@Maria B. Mescudi/ Grahamwhoa,whoa, whoa slow down there guys take it down a notch no need for anger!...
i think so also, which is why i dont like book movies, but twilight, EVERYBODY wants to watch TWILIGHT, :P just because of some hot guys, its so shallow, but i hope someone messages Eoin Colfer before they make his Artemis Fowl movies, a story plot thats as good as those deserve perfection!
yes! that is soooooo true!
i didnt even say anything
