WARNING, Before I
start this review I do need say that this review is going to spoil a lot from
both the book and the movie Percy Jackson the Lighting Thief, so if you
have NOT read or watched the movie I would recommend going and doing that now,
or proceeding at your own risk, if you have or don’t care please continue, now
the review.
There was so much going for this movie it should have been
amazing, but there were so many things wrong with it, I don’t even know where
to start. Compared to the book the movie is like a bad fan fiction it’s sad. Well
I’m going to start with the minor details and move on to the bigger ones as we
go. Before I continue I will say that I could not remember all of the thing
wrong with the movie so I did go to the website Book Journey to get some more
so I will leave a link for the page down below.
The first minor thing wrong with the movie compared to the
book was Annabeth’s character. Now the character was portrayed correctly but in
the book she is blond and in the movie she is brunet. Now this is a major
problem, but it just annoys me how easily that could have been fixed. Another minor
problem was that they forgot one of the beginning scenes it had to do with the
main character being attacked by monsters, now this I can ignore this because
maybe they didn’t have enough time to put it in, but I personally thought it
was a cool scene so it annoys me. Now that’s all the minor details I can come
up with so one to the big ones.
The first major thing the failed with was Medusa death. In the
movie after they kill Medusa the keep her head and use it later on. But in the
book after they kill Medusa they wrap up her and send to the gods as a joke, so
it’s a very big difference. The final major plot point the movie forgot was
Ares. See Ares is actually the main villain in the book but in the movie he is
never mentioned. Instead Luke becomes the villain which changes so many things that
it doesn’t make sense, it’s just stupid.
Now I’m going to end my “review”, more of a rant here
because if I keep going this will go on all day and I really don’t think you
want to read that. But if you do I am going to leave a few at the bottom, one
will be for book to movie problems and the other will lead to just problems
with the movie itself. I know this isn’t a very exciting review but I feel that
it tells people one thing. If you have read Percy Jackson, please just please
go watch the movies their horrible.
