PJOLT MOVIE how do you rate it and why
This is just how you rate the movie not a review of it. Do comment on why you rate it that way.

Re: PJOLT MOVIE how do you rate it and why
HOLYY MACARONI!! that movie was the bomb!! first of all, the lightning theif was amazing! i rate it 5/5/..
the story in the movie was that percy annabeth and grover sneak out of camp to search for the 3 pearls that could get them out of the underworld when they go to get percy's mom. They dont go to get the lightning bolt because the gods (even hades) think percy have it. i wont tell you the ending, but throught the search, they have to find 3 hidden pearls throughout the u.s. the camp in the movie was AWESOME!! the cabins were like oldern but very kool open cabins, and their weapons and armor are very kool! annabeth fights a lot and grover is HILAROUS in the movie!!!! **THIS MOVIE IS WORTH SEEING, EVEN THOUGH THEY SWITCHED THE STORY UP! ITS A DIFFERENT VERSION, BUT MORE ACTION AND SUSPENSE!!**

Re: PJOLT MOVIE how do you rate it and why
Why didn't I give it the best rating, well because inside is still the fan would have loved to see the book as a movie.
Why did I give it a great statis, because even though they change alot of what is in the book; they keep the feel of the book and the integrity of the characters. You leave the movie feeling like you just spent 2 very enjoyable hours with your friends Percy, Annabeth, and Grover. Definitely a MUST SEE!!!!! A 9 out of 10. Go to review to hear more.

i totally agree- annabeth and grover were not what we excpected, but they kept the character in them still alive. Camp Half Blood was pretty cool and the cabins looked awesome. I was a tad upset that they didn't have Clarrisse or Mr.D, but overall i loved this movie Also, the fightning was really awesome. Annabeth kicked some butt

The rating for the movie isn't bad, B on Boxofficemojo, and 76% from the rotten tomatoes community, though it received only 55% from the critics.

Re: PJOLT MOVIE how do you rate it and why
haha lol i agree... the movie was switched up but it didnt hurt ricks story. i would have loved it if they kept "seaweed brain" and annabeth's invisibility cap. SPOILER ALERT: medusa was different in the movie. it was histeracal when grover picked up medusa's head in the motel room's bathroom and said "i can't pee when she's watching me" and then the maid passed by the room and started to scream. haha rofl

IT GROWS SWEETER WITH EACH VIEWING. IT OPENS UP A TON OF QUESTIONS ON HOW THEY ARE GOING TO FIT IN LEFT OUT THINGS, LIKE THE PROPHECY IN THE NEXT FILM.
And concluding that Brandon T. Jackson got almost all the best lines.

Re: PJOLT MOVIE how do you rate it and why
... I dont get it. Dont u see the cliches? The percabeth scenes that are just TOO obvious? Don't eat the flower... really? how is that not retarded.
At the end of the movie I laughed and clapped. NOt because of what happened, but because i thought it would become the next "Epic Movie" or "disaster Movie". Do u not see the resemblance???

Re: PJOLT MOVIE how do you rate it and why
That movie totally hurt Rick's story! Here is a list of things they did wrong:
- Mrs.Dodds didn't die
- Everyone already knew he was son of Poseidon
- There wasn't a single word about Thalia
- There wasn't anything about Kronos
- The Hydra isn't supposed to come in till the the Sea Of Monsters
- Hades never shows up like the fire demon thing
- Percy was supposed to be on Annabeths side for capture the flag
- there was supposed to be a the hellhound at camp half blood
- The leave Percy's mom in the underworld
- There was supposed to be the Chimera in the Arch
- They never go on a little quest thing to find the pearls, when Percy falls out of the arch the water lady gives them to him.
- And, oh yeah, LUKE DIES! NOW THEY CAN'T MAKE ANOTHER MOVIE!!!!!

Re: PJOLT MOVIE how do you rate it and why
SPOILER ALERT
Dear Artemisrocks,
You are correct on all your points except that Luke is dead. We know nothing more than he was hit by the water trident and sent flying into the Hudson River. His fate is not known. Since we had no prophecy, we do not know what they have up their movie sleeves. The actors have all signed a three movie contract. So it is highly unlikely they would kill off the prime antagonist.
I am not thrilled with the changes they made. However, they did an excellent job presenting the story in their form of it. Again, they only had 2 hours so there had to be expediency in bringing the story along. Like with Mrs. Dodds; she comes back in book 5. So in having her not die saved the whole they never really die and come back scenario. By their having the truck from Medusa's, and the map to get the pearls enabled them to get across the country and to reach LA, ahem, Hollywood.
I was annoyed with Grover being kept in Hades, and his talking about having had dinner with Persephone. What about the whole eat in Hades stay in Hades. It was how Hades trapped Persephone.
The movie does leave the fans with a hundred questions on how to get the rest of the stroy told. Now we shall have wonderful debates and hypothesizing until the next movie comes out.

Re: PJOLT MOVIE how do you rate it and why
I glad to say that my computer is finally fixed and I will
be active again.
I loved the movie is wonderful the acting, the effects, everything. I was
pleased with Annabeth although she wasn't blond as in the book, ha and Grover
was a beast. The only actor I was disappointed in was Percy, but he'll get
better as his acting career continues I'm sure. The Underworld was exactly as I
imagined along with Mt. Olympus. The gods being super big was kind of lame. The
only issue of this movie was leaving out Ares and Cronos. Cronos is necessary
to keep the story plot going. Other than that it was a great movie.

Re: PJOLT MOVIE how do you rate it and why
First, Luke I'm glad your computer is up and running again. I agree with except about the gods being lame. When Percy was in Olympus, the gods were always large except for when they choice to be small. I too was surprised by the lack of mention of Kronos. But think about it, the gods or should I say Zeus, refused to entertain the thought that Kronos was involved or trying to rise again. So why not just leave him out of this movie. They definitely can reveal that he was behind Luke's actions or even controling them since he will eventually embody Kronos.

Re: PJOLT MOVIE how do you rate it and why
I suppose your right although it would have been cool of they showed the pitt of Kronos towards the end. I don't see how luke is going to recover from the beating Percy gave him though, haha even if he's also half god.
P.S
Does anyone know if there was a cliffhanger type clip after all the credits

i have no idea- but it would be cool but suck-ish if they did. i also think that your right about percy- his acting for me kind of, a little bit, didn't fit Percy. But i do believe it will get better by the second movie.

Oh my gosh I didn't like it at all because it didn't have anything to do with the book. They cut characters out, they cut seens out, and they cut out the main plot. I think that was a one time movie because they didn't say anything about Kronos! I didn't like it at all! It was a disgrace!

Re: PJOLT MOVIE how do you rate it and why
It was an okay movie, but there were some parts that made me sort of cringe in my seat. "Don't eat the flower" was one of them (I'm talking about the parts where Posiden talks in Percy's mind) or "The water will give you power." While it had it's bad sides, it also had some good things. I love being able to see the story in movie form. They did awesome with Medusa, with the screaming lady, it reminded me of the zombie part in harry potter six where everyone jumps. I really like the casino part, because it's like a more grown up version of the one I had imagined, and it was just a great scene. Speaking of grown up, I also like how the charecters where older. Seeing the camp and meddussa's lair and the lotus casino was awesome. I just have two questions:
The movi had pro's and con's compaierd to the book, and if I were directer then I woul have kept the story line but added knew grover and the teenage charecters.
- If the deadline is the summer solstis, then why is persephone in the underworld?
- If Luke didn't curse the flying shoes, why would he give them to his enimy?
- Why did grover have crutches? I know it was just for show, but couldn't he have just limped?

Also they can't make a new one without having a whole new plot because no prophecy and no Kronos makes no story.
