Percy Jackson And The Olympians: The Lightning Thief Movie Description:
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief is a story about a troubled young boy who finds out his father is a Greek god, making him a demigod. He and his friends are given the task of finding and returning Zeus's lightning bolt as monsters from the Underworld attempt to stop them.
Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (also known as Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief) is a 2010 American action fantasy film directed by Chris Columbus and written by Craig Titley, based on the 2005 novel The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. The film is the first installment in the Percy Jackson film series. It stars Logan Lerman as Percy Jackson alongside an ensemble cast that includes Brandon T. Jackson, Alexandra Daddario, Sean Bean, Pierce Brosnan, Steve Coogan, Rosario Dawson, Catherine Keener, Kevin McKidd, Joe Pantoliano, and Uma Thurman.
In 2004 20th Century Fox acquired the film rights to the book series. In 2007 Chris Columbus was hired to direct. Filming began April 2009 in Vancouver. Some shots were filmed in Tennessee and Las Vegas, and some exterior scenes were shot in New York.
Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief was released theatrically in the United States on February 12, 2010, by 20th Century Fox. The film received mixed reviews from critics, with criticism for the poor grasp of its source material and its script, but praise for Lerman and Jackson's performances, visual effects, and action sequences. The film grossed $226.4 million worldwide against a production budget of $95 million. It was released on June 29, 2010 on DVD and Blu-ray Disc. A video game based on the film was released for Nintendo DS on February 11, 2010. A sequel, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, was released on August 7, 2013.

Honestly in my opinion if you never read any of the books, the movies are actually enjoyable if you separate them. They’re not perfect but enjoyable. Mind you I’ve never read any books but I’ve always wanted to after the first movie.
I agree. I'm a huge fan of the books but read them after seeing this movie, and still like it to this day.
I think the second movie really fell off. The plot all happened too fast. But as a fan of the books, the first movie was definitely enjoyable, some minor gripes, but not too many.
Only thing I wanted more in the first movie was more God interaction. The Ares meeting and fight and the Hades meeting.... Thats it. I could've don't without the school scene and the god intro at the start. @@jtheletter_
I enjoyed the books at the time it was published there was a bunch of high teen fantasy stuff, (teen angst and fights)
not a lot of it was mythology based so the books were a bit unique as a series. Almost like old school myths and badassery mixed with modern themes but staying close to the battle/myth stuff over it’s just a teen flick.
The movies felt extremely done for modern audiences and edited for more general audiences. The feeling of myths and significance sort of got washed out as ‘ya some superpower shit’ and like more room for the teen drama stuff and teen highschool drama tropes. - I think the effects are good and the movie is watchable but it has a totally different feel to the books and a very different set of events/setup for events which is just lost in the movies. Pacing and reveals are very different. You can read about a monsterous creature and have build up for them and it’s different and more significant then seeing a cgi creature on scene with little background info besides ‘it looks intense and scary like a mythical monster’
@@jtheletter_yeah fr
As someone who really loves the books, I don’t mind the movies 🤷🏽♀️ I discovered books through the movie and if you separate the two, the movies aren’t that bad
Yes and no for me too, I like the movies, but they ruin the fact that it's essential that the kids are the age they are. Like it's integral and adds more to what happens to them and why they make certain decisions
yeah same here, being a book reader, I didn't mind the movies too much. They weren't as bad as the last airbender movie was in terms of source material so we can be thankful for that 😂
you’re a brain dead fkn idiot lmao. the movie is garbage as an adaption & just from a film standpoint
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
i do not care about source material, i like the last airbender and i do NOT care who hates it, i am me.@@ItsStrayy
I’m definitely gonna be hated for this but…this movie is such a guilty pleasure to me. I actually like it 😭 I always think of it as separate from the books, kinda like the saying of “separate the artist from the music”.
@@TabathaTMartin Are you serious about not understanding that someone likes something you apparently don't?
I like it too
Yes THANK you!! I actually enjoy them both, it's been awhile since I've read the books but I actually really like the movies- like I know it's very different from the books but other than that I don't really get the hate! They're still pretty enjoyable, but that's just me personally!
@@torontomame I understand that this movie has decent effects, but as a fan, i'm offended!
I like them too.😂💯
3:12 dude i actually thought he was part of the movie here 💀😂😂
They hated it because its not book accurate and some of the things here are wrong but for a non book readers its actually pretty fun to watch. Especially logan lerman, he did amazing.
The movies are fun they are just not book accurate.
@@ben0789 exactly
@@ben0789I don’t know how fun SoM is, even ignoring the books. And both movies are filled with plot holes, cliches, and completely unsurprising twists.
I dont care if it wasn’t book accurate but they cut major characters from the story, and major plot points, that’s like cutting off Draco and Voldemort from Harry Potter and just not explain the story well at all and throw a bunch of unnecessary things and changing characters personality’s so much their basically not even the same character anymore
@@Nevamore277 just like i said some of the things here are wrong. But again, for a non book readers the storyline is not that bad and still pretty enjoyable.
I clicked on this video, paused it after the intro ended, took an hour long shower and came back to continue watching.
The "What took you so long, man?" shook me TO MY CORE.
🤣🤣
What were you doing in the shower???🤔
@@Roguebluei just be sittin in that hoe sometimes thinking about life and shit
It's actually hilarious how much the author of the books hates this movie. He once said "It's like having your life's work go through a meat grinder." Fortunately, the new series is a lot better and more faithful so far.
They have changed a thew things though
Didn't he actually have input in the series
aside from the unecessary raceswaps for woke points, I agree the original is more faithful
@@roogy23Yes, but not enough to be agregious
@@DanGamingFan2846 its hella enough , like why change the race? so dumb
As a fan of the books, the original charm of the series was that they were 12-16 year old kids trying their best to survive the world of gods and monsters. It had a lot more depth and complexity than the movies. But my biggest gripe was that they dramatically changed the main 3 into characters that they’re not, they’re completely different in not just age (they’re 12 in the first book) but personality and their abilities. I like the movie alone, but as an adaptation? Absolutely not. I recommend the series whenever the whole series comes out, it does Immensely better in showing how the gods don’t care for their kids and how it fucked up all their children
Medusa was a beautiful lady and Poseidon wanted her. Poseidon tricks her into going into Athena's temple, then he forces himself on her. Instead of Athena punishing her uncle (Poseidon) she decided to curse Medusa, when Medusa's sisters stood up for her, that's when Athena cursed Medusa's sisters also. That's how they came to be the Gorgon sisters. Sad story.
i’m gonna say that i don’t think these are horribly made movies. i think it works for something disconnected from the books, but the problem is they really only adapted the title and a couple of major details. the issues come from the original books being very well written and well loved and made it too disconnected to be liked
when he asked, "Let me know what was in the books that wasn't shown?"
Me: "Uh, the plot."
If you dont read the book first you'll like it. If you read the book than the movie you'll see why people hate it
So glad I read the book before I even knew there was a movie
My favorite PJO book is The Last Olympian. It never got adapted into a movie but it’s easily the most cinematic and epic of the PJO books. You can’t go wrong with 200 foot serpent basilisks, flying pigs, the army of the undead, Party Ponies 🎉, the Titan Hyperion, Typhon, and a Time bending Kronos.
S5 of the series will make people want to watch more
This unlocks a lost childhood memory. This was the start of a new adventure for me. I didn’t even know about Greek mythology until I saw this movie, granted I was 10.
I personally liked the movies they got me into the books like the major problem with the movies was that they weren’t as accurate to the books and they were a little different but I still enjoyed them thoroughly
As classic and great as the first series is, the Heroes of Olympus series is definitely my favourite. And I can't wait till they reach that in the live action show (if they do). Then there's the others like Magnus Chase and Kane Chronicles that I feel are underrated
Same!!! HoO was dope.
The lost hero was my favorite book growing up 💕
I know that it would've really thrown things off, but I think that having the Giants be the villains of the original PJO would've worked better. The Giants got slapped around by the demigods all the time and didn't even need their direct godly counterpart to be defeated. And it got pointed out that the Giants really weren't that smart. If anything, Kronos was shown to be the crafty one. Him having the plan to pit the god's nature, and destroy the original Olympus, that sounds way more in line with a Kronos plan. Plus, he wasn't so much defeated as prevented from truly rising, so in comparison... yeah.
The Kane chronicles is SO fucking good
I really hope you watch the series after this movie/movies! It is very good! Honestly, this movie is not AS bad as people say it is... if you havent read the books... but if you have read the books... you know ..
Heyyy, another PJO fan here ! Just to explain why the fanbase hates the movies : they are so much different from the original story that they kinda become an insult to the books. The cast made an amazing job with the script they were given, it's the crew behind the script that we resent. Just so you know, when Rick Riordan (the books' author) got the script, he sent a 20 pages-long explanation to the crew of what was wrong or simply didn't make any sense, what the crew changed from the book and therefore ruined, and how they could make it better. He even offered to help them improve the script, even though he was writing his next book, and the crew just ignored him.
As a kid, I really enjoyed the movie and didn't associate it with the book (because I could never remember the movie's name, but that's another problem) so I didn't see any problem, but I rewatched it as a young adult and I realized 1) how some parts of the plot make no sense (you mentionned some of those elements in your reaction btw) and 2) how they literally made another story using the same characters' names. So yeah, if you watch the movies without any knowledge of the books, they're not THAT bad ; but if you know the books and compare them, then they are horrendous (for example, they changed a lot of things in the MC's personalities and they butchered Grover's character, and yes I am still mad about it).
Now the series has only released 3-4 episodes yet and I am already feeling like I'm watching the characters that I've read about for years, even though then made some slight modifications : it's strange how an adaption can actually be called a good/faithful adaptation when the author has a say in it. 🙂
I’ve said this for years; you you treat the movies and the books as separate entities, they are entertaining. I was obsessed with mythology as a kid and so that’s why I liked the movie regardless. Also after the school took us to watch the movie we never finished the book and we were barely half way done 😂
“How did you even hide that under there”. A question we’ve all asked since we were kids😂
I watched the first movie, then read all the books and still liked the books better. The movies do have a lot of good qualities but they could be so much better. They just changed a lot of details in the plot, and eliminated so many good parts. Each book could be made into a mini-series.
They are rn, disney are dropping an episode a week rn and the books author is one of the series main writers
@@jacklynch7802 I just found about this too!
The cast for Percy and Anabeth were different from what was described in the books but other than that the series seem really good.
@@Reylien97 yeah, good from what ive watched so far, tbf annabeth and percys casting is differant but the actors are good for their age so its not too bad
Definitely a guilty pleasure. The cast is fun, the effects are great, and the story is pretty basic. Popcorn movie for sure. The sequel is fun as well, if you haven't read the books.
They took everything that made Percy Jackson and threw it away, ignoring every single plot point that Riordan had established to make the series actually work.
i didnt HATE Percy Jackson myself, i just felt it could be better. especially when it is riding the coat tails of series like Harry Potter. instead of "You're A Wizard, Harry!" we got "You're A Greek Demigod, Percy!" and it just doesnt have the same "oomph".
I never understood this why don’t people judge something for what it’s for instead of comparing it to everything else
because when you're critiquing a game or movie, you HAVE to compare it to similar media. but again i dont HATE it like a lot of people seem to.@@KevinJoseph08
harry potter copied star wars too
@UltimateGamerCC You don't have to compare anything to anything if you don't want to. Adaptations, like Edgerunners (as an example), are completely capable of standing by itself. Why can't this?
I’m actually crying “I was like did he just call him pussy?” Then he said basically the same shit a few seconds later😂
The editing goes crazy on this one Mell. You inserting yourself was hilarious 🤣
I love how everything Mell thought out loud prediction wise came true seconds after in the movie😂
in 6th grade My ADHD started hitting me hard. i was getting into a lot of trouble and I didn't know what it was at the time.
Long story short: We we're made to read this book in class and as much as my teacher knew i loved Greek Mythology, Being forced to read it took all the fun out and then it became a chore. She showed us the movie a week later of me not turning in assignments and I loved it
I loved the books as a kid and I was so happy that they were making the movies. It was my first time going to a theatre to watch a movie. I was so excited, then the movie started. It is a decent movie but the plot changed so much from the books that it broke me. I genuinely felt so bad for Rick Riordan (The author of the books). Don't get me wrong, the movie is decent, but the books are so much better. The TV show is so similar to the books that I feel that childhood love for that series return.
Through discussions with others there are basically two different types of reactions to this movie. If you read the books then watched the movie, you hate the movie. You watched the movie and enjoyed it so much you read the books to find out how different they were and probably had a similar reaction.
At the end of the day it is a decent movie, but the books (And the new TV show directed by the author) are peak fiction.
The Lotus Casino scene is the one universally appreciated scene. It is nothing like the books, but it was pretty fun.
36:24 you're thinking of aphrodite lol athena is the goddess of wisdom and strategy
Let me be the first of many to say I LOVE the books and HATE the movies. The books have such a unique, modern spin on Greek mythology that was completely thrown out the window in the movies. They’re not as bad as Last Airbender or Eragon but that’s really not saying much. This really could’ve been something special but they made it as bland as they could. Changes need to happen for adaptations but none of the ones they made make any sense whatsoever.
The only good scene in the first movie was the Casino. I thought that one was alright.
@@abc.animal5143 Yea it was alright but it was described much better and slightly different in the books. At least that’s how I remember it, it’s been a long time since I read the books.
@@SLITHERIS yeah. But i love the fact that they used Poker Face for the scene. Iconic.
@@SLITHERISit’s a book ofc it’s better and more descriptive than a movie
@@CategoryFive5 Some movies are more descriptive than some books (I mean “descriptive” as in a lot of important details that keep the viewer engaged and entertained). You’re able to add much more visual details to a movie whereas with a book you have to rely on the worded details and use your own mind to visualize those details.
The main major issue with the movies is that they changed the character ages and therefore had to change the plot. The characters are twelve in the books and therefore don't have access to cars. They're assigned a quest to get the bolt from Hades and return it to Olympus. There wasn’t a quest to find pearls. The characters just got into situations because of traveling delays. Many more minor issues but those are the major ones.
I have been to that Parthenon replica in Nashville and it’s pretty cool.
As for Medusa, she was a beautiful being called a Gorgon. Poseidon lusted after her, pursued her, and “took” her, to put it gently, in one of Athena’s temple. Athena upset at the desecration turned Medusa into a monster so no one could look upon her again.
3:22 The burn! 😂
3:02 🤣🤣
You keep me coming back with the edits.
I havent read the book but i grew up with this movie. Its an important part of my childhood and i loved it. Idk about the sequels though
I love the last book it ties the overall theme of the story together perfectly and it’s the most action packed ❤️❤️
I LOVED this movie!
After I saw it for the first time in theatres, I've read almost every Rick Riordan Mythology series: Greek/Roman, Egyptian, Norse, Aztec/Mayan etc.
I'm REALLY hoping that Rick Riordan is planning to write a series based on Celtic/Irish Mythology.
I remember watching the first two in 6th grade before summer break, and I honestly liked it. I was 11 and wasn't into books and movies like this, but the class and I had a good time watching it.
I grew up loving the books and actually really enjoyed the movies as well. Yes there’s a lot of differences between the books and the movies but there is with lots of franchises it’s all about separation between the two. But I gotta say even though the series is only 3 episodes in so far I’m loving it
I'm not enjoying the series... yes, they're a little bit more faithful, but everything is so boring... I kinda hate it...
Hey mello great reaction as always hope your Christmas was blessed hope you have a wonderful new year😊
YESSS I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
new here, just wanted to say I really dug that intro at the very beginning, so friendly and had all the best vibes, just watching a movie with my pals lol
They actually have a series out on Disney plus now
I haven't laughed this much in a long time this dude is hilarious 😂😂😂😂
Omg yes thank you so much this has made my whole night. I love your videos so very much. Can you do rio movies and garfield movies and more alien movies. I really do not care what people say and think about the movies i still love and enjoy them a lot.
Let's get a follow up into the 2nd movie. Love the reaction!
Awesome reaction of my favorite Percy Jackson movie!!!!😊😊😊😊
Well never read the books or even heared of "Percy Jackson" but this was quite entertaining I love Greek, mythology. Hi Mellow love the new intro .until the next time ❤
As a stand-alone movie, it holds up quite nicely, but when it comes adapting the books, it is dogwater.
About your clothes question, in the book, It's really funny because they only have one (1) orange shirt.
A good film! The twist of Luke being the bad guy caught me off guard. The Empire State Building being the main door to the Olympians is very creative. But the part where Hades was defeated easily kinda wasn't that good. The characters are good, the plot is decent. Overall, this film is goated.
You never read the books then
@@FuzztasticFilms twist is way better in book (of course, especially since they didn't even really try to adaptit accurately like HP in majority of films)
Have you watched the series yet? If not, so far it's amazing and I highly recommend
@@Jing_Ling_UnclesNobody needs to read the books. And btw, you should know that not everyone would read them.
@@Jing_Ling_Unclesnot everybody wants to read the books. Some people are more movie fanatics than books. As much as you want to compare there's still opinions from non book readers.
3:09 I thought bro was a student for a second bro 💀💀💀
the thing with the arrows made me mad everytime lol
so true, walk behind them its basic safety
Honestly I never read the books before this movie and I loved this back in the day still a guilty pleasure tbh
Bruhh😂😂 11:50 took me out I had to run it back at least five times 🤣🤣that was the perfect 💯 and on that note: Mellow please PLEASE tell me you've seen Desperado
I watched this movie before ever touching the books, and not going to lie... I like it.
"Can I take you, too?" I think 90% of everybody would agree with that sentiment.
The new show is on point! Please watch it! It's what they should have been from the beginning
when i was young before I even read the books, this was one of my favorite movies as I was a greek mythology fan as a child. However, when I finally read the books years later was when I realized how incredibly inaccurate the movies were to the books. Good thing the new series is staying faithful to the events in the book despite the creative liberty changes they added and changed entirely. The new cast in the series definitely embodied the characters very well, definitely a good casting choice from both the director and the author himself.
I prefed the old movies to the series that are releasing on Disney+ each Tuesday. My kids like it but I can't stay in front of the screen for over 5 minutes without reaching for my cell phone.
Agree, the show is mid
The fact he didn’t know Medusa’s orgin is killing me…
idc what anyone says tbh , i grew up watching these movies and reading the books and i ducking love these movies , just not the second one as much tbh
Yeah I didn’t bother watching the movie. Once I saw the cover I knew I wouldn’t like it. It’s not just about completely changing Grover, but I did HATE that they cast him differently because Hollywood always does that with POC, like they’re throwing them a bone adding a smidge of “diversity”. But I hate most that they changed the AGE of the characters. There was MEANING to them being little kids and fighting an adults battle. It was literally in the book how they discussed most demigods don’t make it past their preteens or grow into adulthood because they get killed by monsters who detect them from a certain age. They’re literally almost adults already here.
Oh here we go. Throwing the race card in there. I bet you love the diversity checklist in the series. If they replaced tons of black characters with white characters. Would you still like it?
@@itzbp9949what? It’s like you completely disregarded everything they said
@@itzbp9949did you even read what I said?
@@Aepdylansright? Like, what the heck? I said I hated that they changed his race for the sake of diversity, because they always do that.
@@SusanaCanales1 so you do hate the race swapping?
Maybe I’m just lonely but the intro made me feel so included 😭 I love mellow man
6:45 I've watched the first episode so far, and it's really good! 🙏🏽💪
Love the ‘what took you so long?!’ 🤌🏼🥰
Any chance for Star Trek reactions in 2024?
Yes please.
26:18 so glad you asked, avid percy jackson fan here. the movies are fine on their own-not great, but fine, sure-but they are remarkably, astoundingly unlike the books. for example: in the books, the hydra fight in nashville never happened, the characters were all aged 12, the relationships between gods and their children were much more nuanced and interesting, plot twists at the end were better set up and executed, the comedy was substantially funnier, the characters were more compelling,,, i could go on. the books were really good, so to see these mid movies with all the good stuff from the books taken out… it hurt our feeling fs 😂 luckily the show’s a LOT better, i hope you react to it!!!!
the that you said IM put Persephone on Hades body had me dying of laugher lol.
Before I even watch your reaction, I was honestly surprised when I found out this movie had a lot of hate. I absolutely LOVED this as a kid. Sure the writing isn’t the best and can be stale at sometimes and sure the cgi isn’t top notch but what did you expect from a kids movie in early 2000s. Even movies not made specifically for kids in early 2000s had bad writing and cgi. Seems like people just want to hate to hate. As a kid I had a blast rewatching this over and over. Never got around to the 2nd one though too busy watching the first!
I’d love to see you react to the show!!
Wait, i just realized at 4:04 that Gabe 'smells like a sewer' bc his demigod powers are kicking in and Gabe's odor was repellant to gods and monsters 😂
Dam I commented sixteen times that's wild. You're welcome for the engagement points I guess.
Grover's dancing in the reason why I still haven't watched this movie all the way through; it made my eyes bleed.
As someone who hasn't read the books, I love the Percy Jackson's movies. I can understand the hate because it's not like the books but as people say, If you think about the movies as their own thing, you'll enjoy them. I've never read any book thats had a movie adaptation but I have seen all the movies based on books, and I love them lol.
Pretty fair opinion on the movie, definitely didn’t capture the magic of the books
It's very hard to believe this is by the same guy who did the first two Harry Potter films. It has the same basic story on the surface, but a very different attention to detail.
I can't wait to see the Olympus in the show. The show has not missed when it comes to sets.
I loved this movie! It was something needed during my childhood. As well as City of Bones
I used to watch this movie quite a bit. I just loved the Vegas scenes when they were literally there for days! 😂🤣
As a kid I loved this movie but then I read the books loved the reaction
I actually enjoyed this movie,but I never read the books.something I intend to do soon ,great reaction.
this movie is 1% book accurate. they refused to let the author help guide this movie
lol idk why Luke and Percy's fight scene is like a PG13 version of the fight scene in Chronicles with Michael b Jordan
From someone who owns a completely tattered set of Percy jacksons books from all the times ive reread them, i honestly havent got a problem with the films. Theyre fun, and theres a new series out ayways, not to mention the books will always be there to be read, me personally, i think the films are fine even tho they kinda stray a mile away from the source 😂
People loves Percy Jackson and The Olympians, as in the book series and second book series The Heroes of Olympus, the movie versions though, not so much, but I like it
There's like 100 changes in this movie. My favorite book is the fifth book The Last Olympian. My favorite god is Poesidon. Just skip the second movie and watch the show instead.
Differences from the book to the movie:
- Annabeth is blonde with grey eyes
- Percy had to be claimed by Poseidon, so he originally lived in the Hermes cabin with Luke, who is a son of Hermes. The Hermes cabin is used for demigods who haven't been claimed yet because he's a god of travelers (and thieves)
- The underworld has *never* been described as hot and full of fire. There are a few rivers in the underworld and Persephone even has a garden down there.
- Percy originally sent the head of Medusa to the gods, but the gods returned it to him so he uses it to aid in the murder of his stepdad
- Percy originally left behind his mother, not Grover.
- The oracle of Delphi gave a prophecy for the quest to happen.
- "Their world" is just *the* world. The gods resign in the US (specifically New York)
- Athena cabin was on Percy's side, he was supposed to be the defender of the flag but got ambushed by the Ares cabin. He did get healed by the lake, but only because Annabeth pushed him in it to heal him. He was claimed by Poseidon then.
- Hades never showed up to camp, but he has been sending the three Furies to hunt him down so he can return the bolt
- Luke gave him flying shoes in the hopes he would get dragged into Tartarus (where all the monsters come from). Percy gave Grover the flying shoe though, since flying isn't good for a child of the sea god (The sky is Zeus's domain, so he had every right to zap him out of the sky)
- They ran out of time originally and had to fly in an airplane to return the bolt on time.
- Luke, seeing that Percy came back safely, used a scorpion to kill him with venom in the forest, but it failed because he managed to get back to camp in time to survive
- Percy fought Ares after escaping the underworld
- Poseidon gave Percy the three pearls, he didn't have to hunt for them
- they had to do a fetch quest for Ares to get back an item he lost while on a date with Aphrodite. Because they retrieved the item he lost, Ares gave them a means of transportation to get to LA in time
- Poseidon can't speak to him like this. Percy figured out the Lotus scam on his own and had to beg Annabeth and Grover to leave
- Charon (the underworld guide) only granted them passage because they promised they would ask Hades to give him a raise
- Percy had to fight a Hellhound after the Capture the Flag game in the beginning
- It was the summer. Persephone wasn't in the underworld. She is only in the underworld during winter and autumn, not spring and summer. It describes the changing of seasons. Demeter hates when Persephone is gone, so plants wither and die in her absence
I still use an ipod classic, mostly for the extra storage space and the presence of physical buttons so I can feel what I'm doing if I need to pause or skip or anything like that while driving. Also some areas I go to have poor reception or actively block wireless signals and devices, so an old school ipod with no wifi.capability is perfect for me. I wish they'd bring them back so I don't have to worry about what happens if mine breaks or gets stolen or lost.
The three big gods: zeus, poseidon and hades aren't supposed to have children. They have too much power and they caused so many wars.
4:13 i just died 💀😂😭 everything ab 2 change 🐱 everything
As a fan of fantasy films, Love the Percy Jackson films. Just a lot of fun. Thanx so much, Peace
I like the movies as their stand alone, disconnected from the books as I watched the movies before I read the books. My biggest grip with the movies is it doesn't stay faithful to the books in any sort of way. They changed the entire plot of the movie, changed the characters and personalities to almost unrecognizable, and then altered the entire course of the books. As there is a reason for the ages in the books, of Percy starting off as 12 in the books, and ending as a 16th year old in the very last book. Making percy 16 alters things towards plot progression, and then they made the characters dull and way less interesting than in the books. While changing the story towards a story of hide & go seek for the pearls, while in the books they weren't that relevant and instead given as a gift. The books were more about a 12 year old being forced on a quest while learning the dangers of new world with his friends. They got rid of any depth towards the characters and the initial charm of the books, as you explore the world with percy. While percy in the books is witty, funny and loyal, they made him a blank slate, boring & unintresting. Annabeth, while smart and tactical, she was also a kid, that was stubborn, and funny, and just wants the acknowledgement from her mom. Grover, is an anxious, and funny, who just wants everything to go smoothly and get along
If you want to watch a more faithful adaption, so far the series on Disney Plus is doing a pretty good job, although still nervous. The movies are fine in their own right, but not when being an adaptation of the books. They don't show the humor, or the plot or anything really that makes the books great, of what their regarded as.
Yeyy. I highly recommend you watch the series eventually.
I can only accept this first movie, but the se in one... Honestly even if you accept it as separate from books it's not good movie 😂😂
*read these books as a child and hates the movie but still gonna support you with a comment* Wow! WEIRD how Mell uploaded a video of talking about nothing and it was still charming and funny. I see no Percy Jackson movie, just Mell. So strange. 😅
My main gripe with the movies are how much they changed the main characters.
They also Cut alot of Key plot points and Content. Krono's was the mastermind behind everything in all the books.
They also Cut out that Ares was a main villian of the first movie.
They also completely cut out out that Annabeth was in love with Luke, and that him turning out to be a traitor completely destroyed her.
And So much More, rewatching this movie through your reaction Reminds of how Fucking stupid the Percy Jackson Movies are.
If you have the time i recommend reading the series. Theyre alot better than the movies or the show.
I've never read the books but the new Percy Jackson TV show makes these movies look 10 times better in my head
Yep, there was a video game of the movie! Never played it, but it was on the Nintendo DS.
Also my favourite book: long-term for Percy Jackson, it's the 4th one, Battle of the Labyrinth. So many great characters and character moments in that.
But the newest book, Chalice of the Gods (6th one after a lot of sequel series and spin-offs) really hit me. Very different since author Rick Riordan learned a lot from when he co-wrote The Sun and the Star with Mark Oshiro. Great messages and less plot-driven.
Oh, and if we're talking beyond Percy Jackson, the whole universe of book, my favourite's either The Son of Neptune or The Mark of Athena, from the Heroes of Olympus series. Probably because SON was the newest when I became a fan and MOA was the one that came out when I was at my peak Riordan fandom.
Also I really like The Kane Chronicles: The Serpent's Shadow. That's from the Eqyptian spin-off series.
@MelVerse definitely need to watch Sea of Monsters Zeus had a daughter who died and that’s why he’s so skeptical in this film about Demi Gods and they show Kronos who was the father of Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades really good story line as well wished they continued the movie series
