I WILL GLADLY RANT WITH YOU ON THIS!!!! I was beyond livid when I watched the movies! It felt so rushed...jumping from one point to the other when there was enough material in the book for a 2hr movie.Olivia Harris wrote: ↑29 Sep 2016, 14:20 So I'm not sure if this has already been discussed (or ranted about) but I was so disappointed in the Percy Jackson movies. The books were so astounding and brilliant that I couldn't have been more disappointed in the films! I was excited to see how they would portray them but that was such a let down. I loved Logan Lerman in The Perks of Being A Wallflower, he was AMAZING, but in an interview with the cast, they claimed they had never heard of Blue Food.
I mean... wow.
Please somebody rant with me on this!!
Don't even get me started on the character representation especially that they looked much older than 12 which is Percy's age at the beginning of the story. Rick Riordan is a brilliant author. I have read pretty much everything he has written so far and will continue to read his work. I am so sad that such a brilliant author is not getting his wonderful books represented properly. Can you imagine the 2nd series as movies or even a tv series to really explore the story in depth?? That'd be amazing! I had no problem with the main actor but just the fact that the characters did not look like they should have. Glad I am not the only one who had this opinion. At school I am always telling students to read those books and some said, "Well I watched the movies." and I keep telling them that the movies sucked compared to the books and to give the books a chance. I hope everyone does the same.

Indeed. I don't know one person that liked The Percy Jackson Movies. Chris Columbus should retire after such tremendous failure.Cybbie_09 wrote: ↑09 Jul 2019, 20:54I WILL GLADLY RANT WITH YOU ON THIS!!!! I was beyond livid when I watched the movies!

You an I, tonight!
You may forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.
When you have done, pray tell me
That I my thoughts may dim;
Haste! lest while you're lagging.
I may remember him!
Emily Dickinson

Okay I don't think anyone who's read the books likes the movies! Not even Riordan himself it's that bad. Apparently he tried to warn them before they made the movies because they let him read the script. But they didn't listen. Good new though! They made The Lighting Thief into a musical and although there still is the age issue, the portrayal is a lot more accurate and feels so much more in sync with the books. You guys should totally check it out if your still into Percy Jackson. WAY WAY BETTER than the movies that's for sure. But I'm sure anything could be better than the movies.LinaMueller wrote: ↑09 Jul 2019, 22:20Indeed. I don't know one person that liked The Percy Jackson Movies.

Dan.... BOOM! Ternyata jalan cerita di film dan di novel SANGAT JAUH BERBEDA. Bener-bener sebeda itu. Agak kecewa sih tapi kalo buat yang ga baca novel dan hanya liat filmnya pasti mikir kalo filmnya lumayan bagus.
