my friend from school started reading the series and shes in love with it... im not into that type of stuff though

AnnaWanderer · 02-25-2010, 10:00 AM

make me interesting in greek myth but still maybe watch movie version if there're any sequel coming up and seem to be similiar to Harry Potter ...like the next big thing of sequel movie after Harry potter ended

Good movie but it has nothing in common with the novel except the names. They destroyed the book!

AnnaWanderer · 02-25-2010, 10:03 PM

^ yea ....they said , i mean the book fan said the character in the book have nothing in common with the movie

Captain Barbossa · 02-26-2010, 01:38 PM

^and it's true. They just kept the "lighting thief" part and the names. The rest is different.

AnnaWanderer · 02-27-2010, 10:38 AM

well...i kindda like it since it's a adaption from book worse than twilight ...

but it' s a good movie ...i think i can understand percy jackson book fan though

All the movies based on books seldom do justice to the book.

I saw the movie yesterday and I have to say I liked it. I think I might check out the books now (I suppose I would like them being a Harry Potter freak

)

AnnaWanderer · 03-06-2010, 10:32 AM

maybe i would buy those series....

kindda prefer this series over harry potter

^ my friends keep doing the 'oh it's a hp rip off...there's a boy with two friends and they live in a camp for special people :rolleyes1: '
'cos hp is the only series that's done this

/sarcasm

I liked this movie, the books seem to be sold out everywhere though, so hopefully i'll read them soon. I love the Greek Mythology involvement within it! Best period ever~ I have heard the books are way different to the movie, though?

Captain Barbossa · 03-08-2010, 03:55 PM

^it's true...and the movie mythology is all wrong too

the book is really good

Banana_Republic · 03-08-2010, 06:39 PM

The movie on its own was ok, but it pales in comparison to the books. The books are not as nicely written as Harry Potter, but they are still interesting. I love Greek Mythology. They were a fast, fun read for me.

The movie is only similar to the book in name. Pretty much everything else is different.

tom riddle · 03-08-2010, 07:06 PM

That's what i heard. The title bit. They left out a heap of characters hey?

Now i'm re-thinking whether i should get the books. Dammit! Is there a lot of emphasis on the greek mythology as there's a lot on the wizarding world within HP? Or is it more 'this is percy he's normal and likes this girl who pretends not to like him...'? lol that athena's daughter is sooooooo into him -from the movie ofc ;]

& by the myths being wrong, you mean in comparison to the stuff mentioned in the books or real myths?

Captain Barbossa · 03-09-2010, 11:50 AM

^no it's not a love story...is HP style book

and the kids are 12..no romance yet
