Percy Jackson and the Olympians The Lightning Thief
Do you like Greek Mythology? How about Demigods and Monsters? If so you’ll like this. Percy Jackson is a 12 year old boy who doesn’t realize he is a demigod yet. He lives with his mother Sally Jackson and her husband Gabe Ugliano (or Smelly Gabe in Percy’s point of view). “She should have been married to a millionaire not a guy like Gabe," thought young Percy. This was an adventurous movie about a boy who is trying both to get Zeus’s Bolt and his mother back. I don’t hate the movie, I just think it could’ve been better.
It happened when Percy went on a field trip to the Museum Of Natural History. Percy is currently going to school at Yancy Academy for special or troubled kids. His one friend is Grover. But in Percy’s point of view was most likely held back a few times. After Lunch it started Mrs. Dodd’s (Percy’s Math Teacher) told him to come with her. He heard a growling noise. Then Mrs. Dodds turned into a Harpies and asked him for something saying “Where is it? Where is it?” Mr. Brunner threw Percy a Sword and with one touch of the blade Mrs. Dodds evaporated into a yellow dust. His mother takes him to go to a cabin where he used to go to when he was little. But, there was some heavy interference with the Minotaur. The Minotaur grabs Percy’s mom and she disappears into a gold dust. Percy defeats the Minotaur, Helps get Grover to camp half blood. He then goes on a journey to get back Zeus’s Lightning Bolt and retrieve his mother back from Hades.
The movie was made very well but, it’s just that it went off the story line of the book. An example would be the age of Percy in the movie he was supposed to be twelve but instead the director wanted to change it a bit with teenagers. Another example would be when they went to get Percy’s mom back from Hades. Persephone wasn’t supposed to be there. It was exiting with all the action and adventure but things got boring if you had read the book before seeing the movie
