READ THE BOOK

I feel bad for the author and fellow fans. I had hope for this movie, but they ruined it. First of all, they don't even try to follow the book. It's called Lightning Thief, but it's like a strange hybrid of multiple storylines. Also, they're supposed to be twelve. Adding a romantic storyline to this was inappropriate. And Annabeth is supposed to be blonde with curly hair. There is no reason to not have the aesthetics accurate to the point that you can't recognize a character.

I enjoyed it though none of my friends did; they complained it was too different from the book, but that was okay with me.

I love supernatural and fantasy movies, and Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightening Thief, definitely fit the bill. The special effects are great and seamless, and you really get invested in the characters. Definitely worth watching.

Seen the movie, it's pretty good for the greek god type movies. Saw this in theater. My husband likes it as well.

What do you think, have you seen it?

Always trouble-prone, the life of teenager Percy Jackson (Logan Lerman) gets a lot more complicated when he learns he's the son of the Greek god Poseidon. At a training ground for the children of deities, Percy learns to harness his divine powers and prepare for the adventure of a lifetime: he must prevent a feud among the Olympians from erupting into a devastating war on Earth, and rescue his mother from the clutches of Hades, god of the underworld.

I really enjoyed this movie. A great adventure full of suspense. Amazing special effects brought this movie to life. An interesting story that was well played out.
