Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief - The Movie

I was soooo excited and counting down the days... It looked like they were doing a pretty good job judging by the previews. I was so disappointed and now I am distraught. Why do fools gotta go and ruin excellent books by making movies like that? Not even sticking to the basic plot line... ruining characters... ugh! It drives me crazy!

Everyone who hasn't read the books says it's a good movie. So I guess they didn't do that horribly, but still. And another thing that drives me insane is that in this movie they left no hooks, plot twists, and didn't even mention the Great Prophecy so I don't think they intend on making the other movies, which stinks to the max. Well, I guess it doesn't stink if they messed up the others as bad as they messed up this one.

I wanna get into entertainment... be a screenwriter so that I can make sure nobody messes up the books I love. The problem is that people ain't making movies because they're passionate about it anymore these days... it's all about the money. To get good, quality, adaptations of books to movies, you need people like Peter Jackson who love what they're making. Lord of the Rings is very accurate and everybody loves them. Why can't people do the same with other stuff?

If you've read the book and loved it, just brace yourself for disappointment.

Three stars.
