Percy Jackson Rick Riordan

           You probably already know where this is going, but let's face it, it's soooo much fun to tear this movie apart. So i'll start at the beginning.  Aging up percy means that the major plot point of bad things going down on Percy's birthday pointless. Making Grover black would've been fine, if he hadn't been turned into a stereotype. The gods meeting on a rooftop to discuss the missing lightning bolt was confusing, why wouldn't they meet somewhere like, oh, Olympus??? And then there's Camp Half Blood. There was a complete lack of personality or the eccentricity of the design of the cabins and the Big House. None of the characters running around in the background were kids, like the majori in the book were, and it seemed more like a war camp than a summer camp. Annabeth was not well represented. She in no way really referenced her lineage or used her gifts at all? And Percy somehow seemed smarter than her??? The capture the flag seen was poorly choreographed and the fact that Percy somehow beat all those Aries kids after only fighting five did not make sense. Hades appearing in camp also didn't make sense. This was a pretty low key dude in the books who just wanted his helm back and here he was in the movie being way too evil. After the quest was begun, it wasn't to get to LA to go to the underworld, it was to get three pearls that in the book were just given to them. Once they use the pearls to return to the surface, the decision to leave Grover behind was completely off base for Percy's character. In the book he left his mom behind, knowing that once he got the gods their things back she would be okay. Percy fighting Luke was just ridiculous. Percy only knew he had his power for a week and suddenly he's mastered it? And Luke thinking that just because he has a lightning bolt he can overthrow the gods and somehow magically become an immortal being is laughable. The book at least made it clear that Luke wasn't working on his own. You also saw how broken up Annabeth was when she found out. She didnt really seem to be too upset in the movie.
           This movie overall is terrible as a stand alone, let alone when its compared to the source material. I recomend a watch, if only to laugh at the silly jokes and the many plot holes.
