Reasons Why the Percy Jackson Movies are Horrible
The books were great. I unfortunately can't say the same thing about the movies. If you liked them, you didn't read the books well enough, if you read them ar all.The fans weren't kidding when they said the movies are a completely different story. It's atriciously different
They could've at least tried a bit harder.
Percy and Luke are watered down versions of their book counterparts. Chiron acts like a teenager, Annabeth is too aggressive and kind at the same time, and Grover is a completely different character. He's not supposed to be a ladies man!
Annabeth has blonde hair and grey eyes, not brown hair and blue eyes..
Percy has green eyes not blue.
Don't even get me started on Grover.
THEY ARE 12 NOT 16!
Annabeth has blonde hair, gray eyes. They were what, 16? How hard is it to get a 12 year old actress with blonde hair?
The movie ruined my images of Percy, Annabeth, and Grover. Thank the gods they didn't do more.
They removed the Arch battle, Clarrisse, the battle with Ares, and many more. What do we get instead? Pantheon? That wasn't even in the book!
At least in most movies they remember to include these. The movies rushed the plot way too much.
Whether it was preferences (Percy's blue food thing) or personality traits, they just didn't execute it right. Grover and Annabeth we're better characters in the books by far.
Agree. Another thing that I didn't like about the movies was that they missed out on characters in the books like Ares and Nancy - TheDarkOne_221b
Luke is the biggest offender. They don't even scratch the surface!
It's what convinced me to study them, which has benefitted me a lot. The movies didn't develop this part of it as well though (Persephone)
The books actually made me interested in the mythology. Can't say the same for this cliché adaptation
They tried to make it seem like a "badass action movie with angsty teens", when the books were simple quests offered to our heroes with obstacles on the way. It was never a goddamn fetch quest!
It just didn't feel right. It could've just been my immune system rejecting the movie though.
If this doesn't warn you about them you deserve what's coming.
That's an understatement.
It didn't provide very much humor, and they kept stating the obvious
"I've got a horse's ass". Cringe on so many levels.
They didn't seem like the characters in the book. Every time I do a play I read the script (in this case the books) so that I have an idea of who I'm becoming.
They're frozen and boring. I think the actor for Grover is good, it's just that it's NOT for this movie
The movies were fine.
This is a bad thing, but great at the same time. My soul has been spared...
Tbf I would've liked them to continue, just to see how awful the sequels would be
