I know I actually saw the movie first and when I started reading the book, within the first couple of pages I could tell they screwed it up completely. The only good choice they made was in the casting of Jeremy Irons as brom.
They didn't even make the city inside the mountain. It was soppose to be this Grand thing to help climax the story and they just ended up putting some huts on the side of a hill
they screwed up so badly on the lightning thief like really the only thing that was like the books was the characters names and medusa showed up every thing else was different don't tell me I'm being dramatic unless you've read the books cause the directer messed up
or maybe the director wanted to distinguish himself from the author and get some credit for his own ideas in a time and market where it's extremely difficult to do so
This makes me so sad! And I agree about the Percy Jackson series. It literally took me forever to get into another series after finishing those books. And I absolutely HATE the movies. I mean, they are good movies but I hate them so much because the books were WAAAY better.
I think that this picture is making me sadder than it should... They really screwed up on the three first ones. Idk what that dragonball one is.
Did you read the Heroes of Olympus books? If not, they're by Riordan, and have characters from the Percy Jackson series, like Percy and Annabeth, and some new characters too. The latest one 'The House Of Hades' just came out.
If they are gunna make a movie of an amazing book because the book is so popular than you'd think they would realize that the book is so popular because of the actual story and they would follow the book but no. They think that they can make it better!!!
And with the avatar the last air bender I loved the tv show!!! The movie just sucked.
so the movies weren't just like the books, so what? all it does is create a different kind of story. those were all great movies if you were open minded enough to enjoy the thing as it stood alone, instead of judging them because the script was adapted and changed by someone other than the author of said book making it different and making any possible sequels sink before they even start production.
I agree with you and most of the time the movies are still great but they aren't near as good as the book. If the book is great then we have these high expectations for the movie and then it's not as good as we expect and we end up not liking it. The movies are still good but they suck compared to the books (and in avatar the last air benders case the show)
OMIGOD PERCY JACKSON MADE ME SO ANGRY THEY LEFT OUT KEY CHARACTERS FOR DIFFERENT BOOKS LIKE CLARISSE AND IT'S LIKE WATCHA GONNA DO NOW THAT UR MAKING THE SECOND MOTHER F***ER!?!? ACTUALLY NEVER MIND! I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT U WILL DO! CHANGE THE ENTIRE PLOT JUST LIKE YOU DID WITH THE FIRST ONE!!!!!
I'm sorry Percy Jackson makes me emotional...
OMG I FEEL THE SAME WAY!!!! THE FIRST ONE MOVIE COMPLETELY JACKED UP THE WHOLE STORY!!! WHEN I FINISHED THE SERIES I STARTED TEARING UP BECAUSE I WAS JUST SO SAD THAT IT FINISHED!!!!! I still tear up sometimes when I think about it. STOP IT EYES! I'm not gunna even bother with the second movie. It's just gunna make me mad
ikr!!! isn't Percy supposed to be in like, 6th grade!?!? also, did you notice the casting did not match the character descriptions AT ALL! I didn't mind tht much except for one thing. PERCY AND ANNABETH's EYE COLORS ARE MENTIONED LIKE A BAJILLION TIMES AND THE PRODUCERS WERE LIKE SCREW THAT HIGHLY EMPHASIZED POINT WE'RE DOIN IT OUR WAY
Okay people, I have a question, a serious one. Did they change the first movie A LOT?! Because I never read the first book, but I watched the movie so I continued to the 2nd one. Is it really changed? But they really f*cked up the second movie...
OMIGOD I GOT MAD THAT THEY WEREN'T TWELVE IN THE FIRST MOVIE! Why did they feel the need to change their age?!? And yes they did change it A LOT. I haven't watched the second movie and I'm not gunna go through trouble to see it. If it comes on I'll watch it but I really don't mind if I don't see it.
I remember reading Eragon as a kid and thinking it was a monster of a book. I was at the thrift store and I stumbled upon a copy and I wondered where half of the book went. X3
