Hey guys! So this is just a one shot about the Percy Jackson and The Olympians movie, compared to the book.
I do not own PJO the book or the movie.
There were many things that were wrong about the PJO movie.
First off, why are Percy and Annabeth 20 years old? In the book, Grover literally said that demigods never make it past 6th grade.
What is going to happen in TLO when Percy demands that demigods will be claimed by the age of 13?
The guy who directed the movie is the same guy who directed the first Harry Potter movie, and that movie made millions of dollars. So, now I ask you, why didn't you follow in HP's footsteps and make the heroes of this incredible story kids?
Even after they made this critical mistake, they could still have fixed it. The director could have waited a few years, and then re-casted the movie. But no, they couldn't just do that simple little thing.
They could have made 10 movies. THAT'S MORE THAN HARRY POTTER!
I was talking to my sister (wise girl16) and she said that they are going to reveal part of the prophecy in the SoM and the line was changed from "shall reach 16 against all odds," to, "shall reach 20 against all odds."
20. Not 16. 20. UGG!
I was on Facebook one day and Rick Riordan posted something about the 2nd PJO movie. I looked at the comments and one of them said, "I don't know what the big deal is I mean they're making Annabeth blonde so get over it." When I read that my eye twitched.
Warning, I'm about to rant: WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?! WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?! COMPARED TO ALL THE OTHER STUFF THAT THE DIRECTOR BUTCHERED, ANNABETH'S HAIR IS NOTHING!
Obviously the person who posted that didn't read the books.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Another thing that was really off about the movie is Tartarus.
In the movie Tartarus was a giant pit of fire that's like 200 hundred feet below hades' palace. The question that needs to be answered is: How in the Hades is Percy going to jump in that? What no answer? That's what I thought.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Also, WHY DID PERCY KNOW WHO HIS FATHER WAS WITHOUT GETTING CLAIMED?!
In the very beginning of the movie Percy was underwater for 7 minutes straight. There is no need to infer about who his godly parent is, in the book, however, Percy blows the bathroom up with water. This is much more interesting than what the movie did.
To add on to this, why did the director get rid of a bunch of characters? Clarisse, Ares, Mr. D., shall I go on?
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Since there are so many things wrong with the movie, I've decided to just list them:
There were like 10 centaurs in the movie.
Percy wasn't going to a boarding school.
They went to Nashville to fight a hydra.
The whole movie was about them getting the pearls.
They never went to the arch.
The whole Medusa scene was really off.
Percy had a phone.
Luke had electronics.
Every camper had their own cabin.
Hades was the bad guy.
Percy didn't kick Ares' butt.
Percy and Annabeth didn't go through the tunnel of love together.
Percy and Annabeth weren't on the same team for capture the flag.
Annabeth and Luke acted like they didn't even know each other.
Thalia's tree was never mentioned. (This really scares me because her tree is really important in the next movie.)
Grover looked ecstatic when he found out that he was the son of Poseidon. When in reality, he should've been petrified.
"I become supreme lord of the bathroom" (one of the best chapters in the book) never happened.
Grover is left in the underworld.
They didn't go to the mattress store.
And so much more. UGGG! This movie irritates me so much.
Well, there you guys go! Please review! What are your thoughts on the next movie? What didn't I mention about this movie? REVIEW PLEASE!
