Sabzzy123 Did any one one catch the fact that in the movie hades showed his real form !! Uh hello they would be burned instantly. Uh movie people if your gonna do this please do it right or I'm begging u don't do it all


Nya Tomlinson-Horan-Malik-Payne-Styles yeah, the movie was such a disaster. i am guessing that's why rick decided not to let them make his books into movies anymore.


Alexia I agree. The author should have more say in what happens in the movies. I mean, they ARE the ones that wrote it. And did you notice that Annabeth's hair was brown? In the books, it clearly states that her hair is blonde. And they totally left Clarisse out.


asiyah The second book is actually going to become a movie. It's official.


Nya Tomlinson-Horan-Malik-Payne-Styles yeah. it was bad. everything was wrong. i am beginning to think that rick got embarrassed by the results of the movie.

well they are a little late. and this one better be good!


Sabzzy123 I know if I was him I would be embarrassed. He's such a brilliant writer and those dimwitted Holly wood folks screwed it up


Nya Tomlinson-Horan-Malik-Payne-Styles i know. they should be ashamed. it was just a waste of money.


Alexia I would sue. I don't know if that's reasonable, but it's the first thing that popped into my mind.


Sabzzy123 Same here, also I'm ashamed I know this but was any one else super mad when the started playing lady gagas (pokerface) in the casino

no he showed them his other form, 'cause some people believe he's the devil so that was like saying "Do you want to see me as human or as a human or as others see me?"

also, annabeth, percy and all them were meant to be 13. they were FREAKING 16! Annabeth drove a car into medausa (ALSO WRONG!!!)
plus annabeth's eyes are grey not green, luke and Percy did not fight at the top of Olympus, the entrace of Olympus was NOT a door way on the top of the Empire State Building, it was through an elevator!!!! the list goes on...


Sabzzy123 I don't think there's Enough room to list all the flaws


message 14: by Kale (new) - rated it 4 stars

Kale I don't know what happened with this movie. It was entertaining and a good quality film and SFX, but I hated all the changes. Which makes no sense to me because Chris Columbus the guy who directed this film also did the first few Harry potter films which were much closer adaptations. Quite the accomplishment for longer books.

I didn't like the aging up of the characters, made me feel like they weren't serious about the whole series. Annabeth really annoyed me. I just couldn't get over her coloring. The whole time I was thinking how hard it must be to find a blond girl with light eyes in Hollywood. Her and Percy looked like siblings. Normally I'm an advocate of brunettes but a blonde would have made a nice contrast to the trio. I also feel that they only picked a brunette because they wanted to use that Greek actress as Athena. Because shes Greek and would somehow legitimize the film. But she was terrible with that bad accent.

The worst part though was the change to the antagonist and ending. They completely cut out Aries and made hades the bad guy then threw Persephone in there just to have a part for Rosario Dawson, who totally looked like an acient Greek????

And they did have the entry of Olympus in the elevator, but only showed it in the trailer. They did a gqreat job on tqhe posters and trailers I just wish they ould have carried it into the film.

Whoever cast the movie and wrote the script should be blacklisted.


Sabzzy123 Wow I couldnt almost read all that but so true


Anika I don't think that was Hades true form. I just think it was him in a scary form to scare Percy into giving him the lightning bolt.

Oh well way to make me feel stupid


message 18: by Kale (new) - rated it 4 stars

Kale Hard to tell what the filmmakers meant with all the liberties they took with the book.


Alexia There was this whole fight between Percy and Ares on the beach, and they didn't even MENTION Ares in the movie. How ridiculous is that? And I totally agree that the actors and actresses should have been younger. In the movie, the pearls had to be found. In the book, the pearls were given to them.

It is just my opinion. For all I know it might have been his real form. That is just what I thought.

They are so stupid they might even be dumber than Paris Hilton

Y don't they just kill us


Alexia I wonder if Tyson is going to be in the movie, or if he's just NOT IMPORTANT to the movie makers.


Sabzzy123 He better be in it he was my favorite character

They should.

I have a feeling Tyson's not going to be portrayed well. He'll just look stupid instead of really really sweet.


Alexia Yeah.


Sabzzy123 Any one have a sledge hammer ?...

EWW why would they mutilate TWO of my favorite books?! Was just one not enough for them?! I have to stop this from happening...


Sabzzy123 What's your plan


message 33: by [deleted user] (new)

Ok! So I'm gonna go to the studio and let loose a bunch of bugs! They'll be so aggravated and disgusted they'll have to call an exterminator (me). When they do I will be wearing a gas mask and instead of bug poison gas stuff I will spray people poison gas stuff and destroy them all and prevent them from making that movie =)


Sabzzy123 Im lovin it , need an assistant exterminator

Supposedly, they're doing the Sea of Monsters, release date is March 2013. This is according to IMDB, and sometimes their movie details are just rumors.


Sabzzy123 Let's hope this is one of them so called rumors


message 39: by Emma (new) - rated it 5 stars

Emma the movies are so cheesy and weird so i am not listening to movie titles anymore anyone agree?


asiyah Stefanie: I googled it.

Jordan: I don't know why they would do this. And I like your plan.


Alexia :D The plan's a good one. But question, do you even know where the studio is?


Sabzzy123 Umm that could be a problem, quick some one look it up


Stefanie Câmara Manoel wow why do they even kill the books with movies... Clarrisse is a big hero in the end and she's not even in the first movie!!! I do like your guy's plan... hehe

Seriously? I refuse to see it in the theaters, because there is no way I'll let Chris Columbus get money from me for ruining such a beautiful series. Besides, how can the story even continue with all the messes he made of the plot?


Kaitlyn That was so stupid! I mean, did they not think we would notice?


Stefanie Câmara Manoel Kaitlyn wrote: "That was so stupid! I mean, did they not think we would notice?"

i agree... WE ARE NOT STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Kaitlyn Seriously!


Emily the movie did suck :/ i was really disappointed


Stefanie Câmara Manoel why do they do this to us anyway... Riordon would have to wright a whole new series to fit the movies!
