I'm scarred for life.

Okay, so, last night, my brother and I couldn't decide what movie to watch, so he wanted to watched Percy Jackson and the Olympians: the Lightning Thief. I didn't really want to because I heard it was so different from the books, so I'm just like whatever. When the movie was finished, I didn't believe they could ruin it so bad! It didn't even have the same plot. How could these cruel movie-makers remake our beloved heroes so terribly? I think there were only a few similarity besides the people's names. No Clarisse. Percy has an iPod touch, and the Hermes cabin had electronics. They should know better than to have TVs and iPods! All the cabins seemed scattered, and Percy's was on a lake. And they think Poseidon built it just for Percy? There were plenty of children of Poseidon before the pact was made. Annabeth had straight, brown hair with blue eyes, as opposed to the regular Annabeth, with gray eyes, and curly blond hair. Grover's personality was completely changed. There was no resemblance to Grover in the books, except for the fact he's a satyr. In the beginning, they made it seem like Percy had to come up for air in the pool, even though he can breathe underwater. They acted like Luke and Annabeth barely knew eachother, and there was no mention of Thalia. The scenes with Ares were nonexistent. In the books, it took him less then a minute to get those pearls. They left behind Grover, as opposed to Sally. It said that Poseidon was getting too mortal, but in 'reality' Poseidon would have obviously had to return to his duties as a god, like any other god that has an affair with a mortal. No poison scorpions sent by Luke at the end. They made Luke seem like he was working alone, as opposed to being influenced by Kronos... I could go on, but I really have to eat, and that would be wasting time... So ya. I just want to kill whoever made the movie and ruined our beloved characters and plot. (Well, realistically, I wouldn't... I'm just in shock that someone would dare to do that...)

Aren't all movies of books bad -____-

All movies of books are supposed to be bad. That just makes the books even better. Well, at least that's what I think. xD

I think it was an Iphone, but Percy didn't even have a phone in any of the books... Oh and I have the movie and there's a deleted scene that mentions Thalia :D I seriously enjoyed the movie, but yeah it wasn't alike the book. Like in the book Percy didn't run from camp to get his mother back, he got a quest. My friend and I didn't like the fact that there was no Clarisse...I mean seriously!

But if they added EVERYTHING into the movie it'd be incredible long.

The movie was really good, but you'd have to look past the fact that it's nothing like the book. And I know not a lot of people have read the HP series, because the movies are not like the books.

But still, I think they should have at least stuck to the same plot ]:

It was >.<. Percy had to go find the lightning bolt and he did, they just changed around some things (Ares never had it, nor did Hades loose his hat, but Luke stole the bolt).

I don't think they even read the books.

--I saw the movie first, and I thought it was a really great movie. So, when you think about it that way, as a separate movie, it's really good. Honestly, adding Ares would make the movie confusing and they did a good job of making a good movie. Now, a good book-turned-movie, not so much. But still.--

Me too Nico. I had friend that like had an obsession with the books so then I saw the movie then I read the book then came here.

Subject: Re: I'm scarred for life. Sun Feb 27, 2011 9:31 pm

I finished the series before the movie came out :3

Subject: Re: I'm scarred for life. Sun Feb 27, 2011 9:32 pm

That's a lie, you know that. You weren't even done when I was. :)

Subject: Re: I'm scarred for life. Sun Feb 27, 2011 9:52 pm

I finished the series before the movie, too.

Curse you Peter Jackson!

LOL, Dionysus!!!!! I read the first book then the next day I saw the movie and it was like the last day they were playing it.

Subject: Re: I'm scarred for life. Mon Feb 28, 2011 9:06 am

I finished the book series even before they announced that they were making a movie!

Subject: Re: I'm scarred for life. Mon Feb 28, 2011 3:19 pm

I read the series around last Winter, or Spring. When the book was pretty popular in my school, a few weeks before the movie came out. I remember the Lightning Thief was at the book fair for school, and I was debating on whether to get it. If I never got that book, I would have never known you peoples :]

The movie was rubbish and the busted all of their money on it so now they can't make a sekual. Like Stormbaker.

It would be hard for them to make a sequel without messing up the plot even more ]:

Wow, I thought you walked into your parents doing the dirty deed or something
