There was not much improvement since the first one. Mr. D did fine, but Clarisse wasn't much like the book. 1- Myth was messed up on how Kronos. 2- The Propercy was screwed up. The curse blade was Riptide. The age was 20. 3- few happened the opposite of what happened in the book. 4- some were ridiculous. For instance, it took Percy five years to beat Kronos. It took him five minutes in the movie. So powerful Titans, huh. This is going to be to make the third one. The ending and Thalia's story were the only things right.
... View MoreThe special effects were the best part, but if you read the book, DO NOT WATCH the movie. I was ripping out my hair and mentally screaming. 70% of the movie was from the other books. They mashed up all the books together into one corny and cheesy movie. WHY WOULD RICK RIORDAN LET THEM DO THIS?!
... View MoreOn a technical level, this movie is terrible. The effects are bad, the dialogue is cheesy at best, and downright cringe-worthy at worst. The acting is mostly god-awful, with a few decent performances sprinkled in. However, as a huge fan of the books, I still get enjoyment out of this film.I hated the first one for its huge deviations from the book. While this one certainly deviates, it makes a much better attempt to stick to the source material. A lot of sequences from the movie were directly from the book, and when this happens, it's extremely enjoyable. In particular, the Oracle of Delphi is exactly as I pictured it. Tyson is portrayed pretty much as I remember him. So is Annabeth. The large cyclops at the end (don't remember his name) was also done pretty much exactly how he was in the books, down to exactly how Grover manages to avoid getting eaten by him. They even included Clarisse's giant Confederate ship, which was in the book.Overall, despite the lack of technical quality, I enjoyed this film, and have watched it multiple times. If you are a fan of the books who didn't like the first one for its deviations from the books, you should find this one more acceptable, although not perfect.
... View MoreI found this movie the worst movie ever over half of the movie was not even true. I have read all the Percy Jackson books and onto hero's of Olympus.If you enjoyed the book please don't even look at the cover of the DVD. The trailer fools people into watching it. Watching the movie was my biggest mistake I have ever made. I could go past a hundred negatives. Negatives 1. Kronus does not come back 2. Dionysus's does not like his job. Zeus punished him, making him camp director 3. They don't get eaten by Charybdis. 4. Dionysus does not cheer he sulks. 5. Kronsus does not get his Scythe. 6. Kronusus's coffin does not even touch the golden fleece. 7. Where was the Scylla he was nowhere in sight. 8. What happened to the start. In the book he starts at a school not the camp and he meets Tyson there.Positives 1. The information about the CSS Birmingham.
