ϟThe Lightning Thief (Movie Review)ϟ


*Please read with caution spoilers are ahead!*
The plot of the movie is about the same as the book but a lot of changes were made. Some of these changes include many of the characters are much older in the book and Percy is approaching his 16th birthday is a major plot point. Some of the minor characters are missing such as Clarisse, who is a secondary character. Also, in the book Percy doesn't discover his father is Poseidon until after his first capture the flag game. The quest doesn't involve gathering all three pearls during the journey, rather Percy receives them from a sea spirit once they reached L.A. Luke doesn't betray the camp until the very end when he introduces his new sword "backbiter" and poisons Percy with the scorpion. Other details in the film that weren't included is that Annabeth's hair was supposed to be blonde, the oracle,and Mr.D. I'm kinda disappointed about this film I expected it to go with the book but movies that are from books can't have everything. As for the actors choices they were great especially Logan Lerman as Percy which he portrayed outstanding because he brought this character to life and I can just say that I'm speechless with his role in the movie. As for the the rest of the cast members they did a great job. Other than that I would give this movie a 4.5 out 5 stars because minor details were left out but the movie was amazing to watch especially the fighting scenes and Mount Olympus looked amazing. The characters and monsters were portrayed well and I can only expect the best for the sequel. Be sure to follow for more movie and book reviews!
