SW cardmaker Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 [b][u]IMPORTANT NOTE:[/u][/b] Only state which version you think is better if you've read the book [b][u]AND[/u][/b] watched the movie. You should have probably guessed by now that this is a discussion over which version of Percy Jackson & the Olympians The Lightning Thief you think is better. I honestly think the book version is better because there were TONS of things that were missed/changed in the movie version, so many things it would take a huge post just to name them all. Here are some examples of changes the movie had: 1) No Clarisse 2) No encounter with Ares. 3) The encounter with Medusa 4) No Mr. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Rai Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Not even comparable. This is literally just a preference poll of which adaptation you [b]like[/b] better. You cannot say which [b]is better[/b] because one is a movie; one is a book. Besides, wrong section. There's a section for polls /ok lz edit.

Phantom Roxas Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 My biggest problems with the Lightning Thief movie are that Kronos is only briefly mentioned in the beginning of the movie, despite the fact that he's the Big Bad of the series, [s]AnnaSophia Robb wasn't cast as Annabeth,[/s] and that the characters are aged up for no good reason, which completely messes with the prophecy unless the Sea of Monsters movie reveals a different one. This is basically the Eragon of Percy Jackson fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Roxas Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Of course it would, mostly because of the various characters that weren't introduced.

Ярополк Пономарёв Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 I watched the first movie a while ago, and I'm half way through the book now. I hate the movie now, but the movie gives me a visual about what a lot of stuff looks like (I have trouble with imagining how stuff looks for some reason, don't ask me why).

Nɇvɇrmorɇ Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 I've read the book and seen the movie. The book was definitely superior. Even though it wasn't very good either. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
