The movie was good, but it could have been better. They definitely changed a lot in the book, which was a big disappointment to the PJ series fans. But even though they did, in my opinion, the movie turned out well. Even the actors seemed alright to me.Just like Alexandra daddario (Annabeth) whose appearance may have not matched with those in the books but proved worthy of the role as a child of Athena.

Judging 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief' based on the movie itself was a fun and thrilling film to watch.

The book is great, the movie ... Well, as people said, in Harry Potter they tried to be as close to the book as possible, at least in the first movie. The Persy Jackson books are much smaller than Harry Potter, about half of a a first book, so you'd think it would be easier to fit in. And if they would do, I might give 3-4 stars.
Also I did not like Anabeth(Daddario). She definitely does not look like a girl, who grew up training at camp, more like a next door girl. They should've spent a bit more time training the actress, not to mention I was not imressed with her acting at all. Logan Lerman is OK, and he definitely looks cute, but Percy and Anabether are suppose to be much younger. I guess because the Logan is older they've changed many things to reflect that. In the book there is an innocence of a young boy (kind of first-second year Harry Potter), that is completely lost in the movie.

Hi All,

We never read the book so we made the review in the context of it being a movie and only a movie. So if the movie's story was tweaked for it to become a better film, then too bad for fans like you guys. Fans of the book should avoid it then!

As for it being better than Harry Potter, we just see it as being open to more people. Harry Potter is just too serious - this mixes everything well. And this is even outside the context of CGI.

Sure the movie was great... if you haven't read the books... it completely changed every single detail (even the best scenes changed) and then changed how Rick Riordan DESCRIBES each character,i just stopped watching it like an hour into it because i wasn't finished with the series and it was ruining all the characters for me... other than that great Visual FX!

How can you say this movie is better then the Harry Potter movie. The CGI in this movie was nothing compared to the Harry Potter movies.The Harry Potters at least follow the book the best they could. The Lightning Thief
Changed the whole story of the book at did not follow any of the key facts of the book. WHY I ask you. WHY do this. It would have been so easy to just follow the book and remove just a little of the book filling areas, But no they used the filling areas in the movie and did not use any of the story. Sorry my English is bad.

Did you even see this movie,it was crap. The movie changed a really easy novel to follow into some BS kid's trying to be cool with modern day crap that I hope kids don't think is cool. This movie sucked and messed up a great book.
