that movie was ugly and akward and made me wanna cry and laugh at them and scream epic fail all at the same time. Im sorry. The casino scene everyone looked high. And they played Poker Face?!?!?!? Wat was that? Don't eat the flower... so cliche. Annabeth's conflicting emotions about percy was cliche more than anything and it was so pathetic and akward. They dint mention kronos. They didnt mention ares. They didnt mention clarrisse. as far as i am concerned they killed luke with a... trident? What happened to riptide? The special effects were cheesy, especially in the underworld. The pearles weren't a central part. Persephone was not there in the book, yet she is in the underworld IN THE WRONG SEASON. the underworld didnt have cerberus. the underworld damned ALL people, and did not include elysium/isles of the blest. Charon was a lame character. They didnt have the waterpark. They didnt have St. Louis. Luke gave him flying shoes, yet they were not cursed, even though Luke wanted to kill Percy, so in other words Luke gave his worst enemy a kind present. Lotus casino was jacked up times a million, i have to say that again. "The flower dilutes your senses." Percy's cabin was messed up. Percy was supposed to be on annabeths team in capture the flag. Clarrise was supposed to beat him up and cause him to find he is from poseidon. Percy knew he was poseidon's son way to early. When Sally wuas captured, it was so fake acting and lame special effects. Percy beat the minotaur by luck. The voice of poseidon inside his head was lame and cliche and akward to watch. The opening graphic of Poseidon climbing out of water had horrible special effects, and it looked stupid and you couldnt figure out what was going on for like five minutes. The whole height difference was so obviously animated and messed up with green screens and such. Lord of The Rings did a way better job on that. Grover is NOT good with the ladies. He's only good with juniper, who doesnt show up until the fourth book anyway. Gabe wasn't a fat enough actor. Gabe wasn't supposed to be beat up by GROVER.

There's more too, i just am getting way to depressed.

And guys i knew it would be different form the book. I knew it was a directors take on it. But the central elements of the movie itself, the basics of good directing and screenwriting, were not there. I didn't feel like I could relate to these characters. They all seemed inhuman. The speical effetcs were bad enough to where all i could think about was how bad they were, not what they represented. The actors would do a bad job in reacting to a characters lines, so it looked like a high school play. And they swore a lot. What was that about?

I totally will see the next movie though. Just to laugh at them for doing such a terrible job and see what they are going to do considering they DONT HAVE THE CHARACTERS THEY NEED TO FOLLOW IT! What are you supposed to write a sequel about if they never mentioned Kronos? They mentioned Hercules more then him! I honestly don't know wats going on in their heads, but there was something extremely OFF about this movie.

The Minotaur: The fight was won with luck. In the books, Percy won the fight by some luck too.

Lotus Casino: The parts are both different from book and movie. But they did it in a way that greek mythology fans would understand. In the origenal myth, it was the Lotus Eaters. argo, They eat the lotus cakes.

Persphone: Ok, I got a little annoyed at this. I love Rosiaro Dawson, and She made an awsome Persphone, a goddess that everyone could pity.

Chiron: Ok I'm sorry, but Chiron was good. He was a teacher, always has been.

The Begining; I like how it started not on Percy. And it showed some of the power (ish) of the gods.

Percabeth: It was a bit corny. They're (supposted to be) kids.

Luke and Kronos: This gives a really cool twist. You think Luke is dead and the bad guy.....then you find out He's not dead, still bad, and not the biggest problem for the trio.

Grover: I LOVE movie Grover... The whole ladies thing works with Brandon Jackson.

I need to see it again, because I only saw the movie once.
