"this movie was a really good movie its sad that some of you think this movie sucks.I dont care whate you people outtherethink unless its a good comment this movie.i gave this movie a five star rating because they hade to change things and take some stuff out because then it would be like a 5 hour movie if they didnt change anything or take anything out."

"This was a good movie but if you have read the book you will notice there are a variety of things that were changed and left out of the movie... Although it was Luke who stole the Lighting Bolt from Zeus, it was Kronos (the Titan God and father of Zeus, Poseiden, and Hades) he was serving, not Hades. Ares also played a role in it too. When Ares captured Luke for stealing not only the bolt but Hades helm, he started having dreams of Kronos and released Luke and kept the items until Percy came along and placed them in his possession by the means of a backpack, not a shield. The flying shoes were cursed and were supposed to lead Percy to Tartarus to give the items to Kronos to start a war between the gods and return him to power. It was Percy's mother who was left behind in the Underworld, not Grover, and Hades returned her once he received his helm back. Percy fought Ares before returning the lightening bolt to Zeus, not Luke, and afterwards he gave the helm the Mrs. Dodds (one of the Furies) to return to Hades. Percy didn't find out who his father was until after he reached the summer camp at Half-Blood Hill during Capture the Flag when he fought Clarisse. Also, Percy received the pearls from a sea spirit in the book."

"well.. this was crap.

the film had good special effects and honestly that was the only thing going for it. the film had bad acting, crap story, bad script, bad everything else.

it was dead boring, i was bored after the frist 40 minutes, the same thing pretty much happened we gotta find 3 balls.

and 3 balls later pffft i thought i was watching the same thing go on for 3 hours i dont know who decided to make this shit.

dont watch it, if you do your baby will slap you

-.-"

"This was an extremely good movie. I have read all of the books, and at first was frustrated since it hardly matched the books at all, but soon realized that since they obviously wouldn't be making any other movies in the series, they needed to take things out, change things, replace things, and much more, so they wouldnt run into unanswerable questions.

For example: Medusa, old ladies knitting socks, luke, ares, annabeth's hair, grover, percy's age etc. :D

Otherwise, they picked wonderful actors and I LOVED the movie!

(Annabeth's eyes were GORGEOUS---anyone agree?)"

"Well, it would have been OK, IF it matched the book even a little. Sence I read the book before I watched the movie, I thought the movie was HORRIBLE!

I would have liked it a lot better if they made a few changes. Ok, not a few..... A LOT! Some simple things I'll list here! First off, Percy and Anabeth in the book were about 12 - 14. In the movie they looked like 16-18 year olds! Another thing: In the movie LUKE faught Percy for the lightning bolt. Where did that come from? NOT the book, thats for sure.

There were also lots of cusswords that weren't in the book, as well as "love scenes" that were not in the book. And much of my favorite scenes fron the book were not in it, such as the time Percy jumped into the river off of the arch! And the little girl who saw him getting out of the river dry. Also the part about the credit cards they got in the hotel. The one they gave to the taxy driver.....

Over all, this movie was one I DO NOT recomend!"

"I think that this movie was great. Although i do wish that the movie staid more true to the book, the movie was still good with it's own twist. I think that this movie is great for kids and was properatly rated. This movie is great for all, young and old. And if you are reading this review and havn't seen the movie, go buy it and watch it right away!"

"OK this was an awesome series i loved it one of my favorites but when i saw the movie i left dumbfounded. i persionaly liked the movie it was funny but i could not believe that they had actually gotten that from the lightning thieft book. and i dont know what everybodys talkin about not good for children under 12 or ten or watever. i mean like 8 would be a good age. i mean they only cuss like twice and its not even tht bad and the only "scary scene" would be the hades but thats not even that bad. but i do agree with the fact the person who played percy looked more like what percy should look like in the last book not the first bc by the time they get to the last movie there gonna need a new percy. sadly its and 8/10"

"For anyone who has read the book they are probably saying "rubbish", and when I first heard about the difference between the movie and the book I was too, but although I wished they would have kept to the original parts of the book I thought it was good.Some of the changes I even liked!

I would not recommend this movie for anyone under 10 because of the use of bad language referring to the underworld,Hades' scary form, and battle scenes.Overall I give this movie a 9/10! :)"

"it was rubbishhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

i hated every part i was asleep 4 most of it well u no wat i mean i really wouldnt recomend this film to any one"

"I say that they should a remake and make it just like the book. I liked the movie but the books were definately better and the movie would have been better if it followed the book."

"if you ask me percy jackson is way to over rated hes more like 12 going on 16. he could drive and he looked more like my 18 cousin then my 9 year old brother. And the movie left out half the book i mean yeah the graphics were amazing but whats the point if you dont even know the whole storie and hades looking like Mcjagger i mean dont you think that would be more like Ares and he was one of the main charcters in the book but he wasnt even in the movie once"

"I LIKED THE MOVIE BUT THE ONLY PROBABLEM I REALLY HAD WAS THAT ARES AND CLARISE WERE NOT IN THE MOVIE AND PECY LOOKED A LITTLE OLDER THAN ONLY TWELVE YEARS OLD HE LOOKED ABOUT 16 AND MEDUSA ISNT EVEN IN THE BOOK YET SHE WINDS UP IN THE MOVIE???? BUT OTHER THAN THAT IT WAS GREAT BUT I WOULD SUGGEST THAT ANYONE UNDER 9 GO AND SEE IT WITH YOUR PARENTS BECAUSE THERE IS A FEW CURSE WORDS AND HADES IN GOD FORM COULD GIVE THE KIDS A SCARE."

"ALthough my son and I both liked and enjoyed this movie, i was very surprised it was only a PG rating. There is an extreme amount of very frightening imagery. No child under 12 should see this. There was a family with 3 young children seated behind me and it was obvious the children were scared and upset. The CGI of snakes on Medusa's head are so vivid and realistic and spend a protracted amount of time on the screen. Parents beware."

"There's a lot of bad things to be said about Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, and not just about its horrendous title. The flick's full of characters that find themselves in close-ups, flatly declaiming in the best Twilight fashion every single plot point with the expository efficiency of an elite military unit. We need to go get the three balls so that we can go to the place to fight the bad guy, who thinks I am the bad guy when in fact it is he that is the bad guy, for the following reasons: x, y, z. Let's get shields and swords from the shield and sword pile and and and... . The story's thin as a French pancake, with twists that are both predictable and out of the blue, with characters that abruptly careen into the action from way out in left field. It's derivative of and a poor, cheap imitation of the Harry Potter films - odd, given that director Chris Columbus is the man that helped launch that franchise as well.

Given all of that, the goofy plot, the awkward script and Hogwarts-made-of-cardboard-and-tape feel of the whole thing, the Percy Jackson movie does just enough stuff right. It manages to poke its lumpy head up high enough above the crowd of post-Potter knockoffs to be reasonably enjoyable.

It's the classic oldies hero jam: unsuspecting normal seeming teen dude is plucked up by fate and sent on his journey, where he attends a camp full of centaurs who teach him the moral and physical lessons he needs to know to destroy the bad dude.

It's all swaddled in the garb of the ancient Greek Gods - Zeus (Sean Bean) is seriously peeved at Poseidon (Kevin McKidd) and the rest of the gods because someone stole his lightning bolt, and its up to the various demi-gods, their half-human sons and daughters who hang out down on earth learning to fight at picturesque "Camp Half-Blood" to get it back to him before he kicks up epic hell. In charge of the plan is Poseidon's son, Percy Jackson (Logan Lerman), whose true god-identity was hidden from him for some half-explained reason. Lerman is better than good as Percy, and he keeps things moving along over some rough spots with plenty of charisma and twinkle.

What makes the film work (even when it shouldn't) is its willingness to actually theoretically scare its tween audience. Percy and his comrades fight Hades, Lord of the Dead, a giant, angry minotaur and hydras galore, all of which are legitimately frightening and very neatly-handled (Percy overcomes Medusa by watching her in the reflection on the back of his iPod). It's thoroughly kid stuff, but thankfully not afraid to scare a kid where a kid needs to be scared and for that reason alone, it's worth seeing, at least, you know, if you're a kid. 6/10"

"I can't decide!Team Edward,Jacob,Harry,or Percy!I'm super obssessed with Harry Potter and Twilight series so my friend and I went to see it last night.It was awesome but there's a lot of action so little kids,go to see The Tooth Fairy instead.

SPOILER!!!!!!!

Hades totaly looks like Mcjagger!"
