Review of Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010) by Thesilentone — 12 Mar 2014

What is this **** I am a huge fan of the books, and me and my brother used to fantasize about a movie that would be really awesome and it ruined my life. when I watched this movie, I was the most pumped I have ever been in my entire life. and then: What have I just witnessed, the death of my life? Probably. It's like you are a Percy Jackson pirate, and you find two chests, one is the movie, one is the book. You open the book chest and they're are diamonds and rubies, heaps of gold. Then you open the movie chest hoping to be even richer? and you find the chest full of **** and with a single piece of rough amber worth twenty dollars. I felt like the director didnt even read the book and here is why:

1. Where is Clarisse?

2. Where is Ares?

3. (not racist) why is Grover black?

4. They were given the pearls.

5. They dont even go through the Underworld, they just ride Charon's ferry to Hades' fortress.

6. Annabeth is blond.

7. All the characters are about twelve in the book, in the movie they are about sixteen.

8. The Lotus Hotel did not show make them high, it made them not want to leave.

9. Camp Half Blood is not in a forest, it is in a valley. The cabins are in a U shape and there isn't people fighting with swords all the time. It isn't a military camp, its a place fir Half-Bloods to live safely.

10. Percy stays at the river in capture the flag, he goes nowhere. Luke gets the flag and brings it across the lake.

I only want to list ten because this movie frustrated me a lot. I will never watch this again and I do not recommend it to you. Now the reason I rate this as one is because it would be a pretty good movie all on its own, that is not to say that I like it at all.
