As movies go, it was pretty okay. As an adaptation of The Lightning Thief, however, it sucked. But I had so much fun going to see it/making fun of it in the movie theater with 3 of my best friends.

Okay, I'll be honest, I watched the movie before reading the books. And as a movie, on it's own, it's.... not THAT bad.
But then I read the books, and in comparison, the movie sucked. They changed everything around and the only thing I had no problem with them changing was Grover, cuz he was awesome in the movie.
So yeah, as an adaptation of The Lightening Thief, it was one giant fail. But by itself, if you don't compare it to the book, it's not so bad...

I watched the movie with my friend after we had both read the Lightning thief... it wasn't good. It was a mix of changing up the story and the casting- i wanted to see more of the camp - and i wanted to see how they followed the story , but they basically changed the whole thing up.
I heard about the sequel! But i'm confused.. They basically left Kronos out of the whole movies .. so how on earth are they expecting to follow through to the second book? O.o

As harsh as it sounds, I think the adaption was horrible.
Like wth. What was up with Hades? I couldn't keep him seriously. Even the whole getting the pearl quest, completely redirected the whole plot. There was so much problem with the movie basing it with the book and series that I have no idea how would they continue the movies in direction with the books. Are they just gonna show the Annabeth/Luke relationship out of no where? They didn't like know each other in the movie. And are they gonna remove the whole cabin system. ANDAND, are they gonna magically fit in the prophecies?
I really don't know why they had to remove the quest, the cabins, the whole mist thing and Kronos. I even wanted to see the fight with Ares. Gaaaaah! :ventingover:

I know how you feel. I think they modified it so it would be good as a stand-alone movie. If you didn't compare it to the books, or if you haven't read them, it would be good. Alone, I thought the movie was good. It just didn't stay faithful.

I too am wondering how the hell they are gonna make a sequel! They just... can't! Unless they remake the first movie and keep it in line with the actual plot of the books!

Maybe they actually introduce the actual plot in the movie? I don't know. Either way, I thought Percy was cute in the movie. Doesn't have anything to do with the matter at hand, but still. ;D

hhaha Percy was super cute <3
I have a sneaking suspision they are just going make Luke the evil guy , totaly muck up the story and make up everything that happens.
*facepalm*
(Percy didn't kill him did he? It's been a while since i've seen it)

I forgot. I don't think Luke died, but...
Anyway, to make up the off-plot-ness, I just try to convice myself to think of them as two different things with the same name. It's comforting, as the movie isn't bad.
