Taslim's+Comparison

The movie is better than the book.

POINT 1: ​ The movie is better than the book because because it had added details. For example, in the movie, Percy drowns NY in water to win his fight against Luke so he could give Zeus the bolt. Imagine if Percy didn't do that. Imagine if he lost the fight against Luke and didn't get the bolt. His whole quest would be for nothing. There would be war, and everyone would die. He wouldn't be a hero. It would be absolutely pointless to watch a movie or read a book in which the hero fails. Also, in the movie, Percy got to fight with Annabeth to capture her team's flag. This way, he got to test his skills and and practice them. This made the movie reaslly interesting because everyone was wondering if Percy could beat Annabeth. It was good suspense. Lastly, in the movie, Luke gave Percy his shield in which the bolt is hidden. Think about it. If the bolt was hidden in the backpack like it was in the book, you wouldn't be able to feel its weight. You wouldn't understand. Because it was hidden in the sheild, you got to see how everyone was surprised and in which way it was hidden. The movie's added details were interesting and helped me to really understand the feelings of the characters.

POINT 2: Another reason why the movie was better than the book is that it had awesome special effects. These special effects helped me to visualize the events. For instince, if I hadn't seen Hydra's wrath, I wouldn't be aware of how dangeroous the monstor was. I wouldn't be able to be fully thankful that Percy and his companions defeated it. Also, if I hadn't seen Olympus, I wouldn't trully know how beautiful it was. These special effects were so great that they impressed me. They wraped me in the movie. I can just see myself know if there weren't good visuals......... I would be trying to stay awake because it wouldn't be interested in the movie at all. I wouldn't really know how dangerous the monstors were or what Percy, Annabeth, Grover went through to get the lightning bolt back into Zeus's empty hands. I wouldn't be able to appreciate their courage.

POINT 3: Finally, I think the book is way better than the movie because it had a bigger climax. The climax was suspenseful in the beginning, and it gave me a feeling of BANG!!! It exagerated the climax which made me feel for the characters. I was thinking," I really hope they can get to Zeus in time. Percy must have so much pressure on him and he's just a kid. He could die!" I put myself in the place of the characters which was good because I felt everything the characters were feeling. I could relate to and understand them. I was part of the movie and I couldn't get away. The movie was extremely better than the book in my opinion because it helped me to understand the events and gave them a point to exist. It made me care what happened.
