At the Movies: The Lightning Thief


Today, many of us met to see The Lightning Thief. We all left the theater thinking how different it was from the book. Well here's your chance to sound off.
Which did you like better - the book or the movie? Why?
What parts were changed or in some cases, left out?
How did the characters change?
If you were making the movie, what would you have done?

I think it's not fair that the movie has to be shorter then the book. The book has so much more detail. Right now i'm not feeling to good but I shoud be in school tomorrow. Today i'm coming for after school.

The movie was great but it left out lots of good parts.Like the battle
with Ares and the bed dealer the three old ladies the bus getting blown up and Anabeth playing with the Cerberus.That is why I think the book is better.

went with larry and the boys to see Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The lightning thief. If you've read the books and plan on seeing the movie.. be prepared, the movie and the books are not alike. the movie is good but I prefer the books better.

i think the movie was better because it shows Madusas actual head and because it shows more details fromt eh book. OH!!!!! My favorite part was when they were fighting the 4 headed dragon and Grover holded Madusas head and he froze the dragon then Grover kissed the head and he said OOOOHHHHH that was nasty and the other favorite part was when they stayed in the hotel and Madusas head was on the bathroom sink and grover said I can't pee with her looking at me....HAHAHA. I liked the movie so much!!!:)

I am a student at the University of Central OKlahoma. I am currently an Elementary Ed Major. My daughter, thought the book was better than the movie. I think that in most cases, the books are better. They tend to be more descriptive and can cover more material. HOwever, having only seen the movie and not read the book...I can say I enjoyed the movie. I hope you are all doing well.
