THE MOVIE IS BETTER THAN THE BOOK!

1. The action came to life in the movie.

There was constant crashing and action throughout every place they went. The garden Gnome emporium with the threat of turning to stone, the casino with being trapped while your eating the lotus flowers,when they had to take the pearl off Atena's crown and every other place. We didn't just have to visualize the action and the drama taking place, we could feel the tension and see the struggles the group had to go through. All the monsters they had to face and that final battle between Percuy and Luke was just amazing! The lines, facial expressions, and I have to say it was probably the best part of the movie if you ask me. The constant ideas they used to outsmart Medusa with the I-phone and the car Annabeth had crashed to save Percy from being turned to stone just like Grovers Uncle Ferdinand. It was just to much action for me to handle and almost every loud bang made me jump out of my seat!

2 . The casting.

There was some issues with the casting when the movie was bieng made. The begging and the pleading. Some characters only had about 5 minutes in the spotlight, such as the character who played Ms. Dodds, was only in the beginning of the movie and left the cast after probably. For the other 10 gods at Mount Olympus, they were only in for about 2 minutes before Poseidon had his private talk with Percy. While other characters such as Percy, (Logan Lerman) Annabeth, (Alexandra Daddario) and Grover (Brandon T. Jackson) had basically the whole movie to themselves. We know what the characters actually look like when and if the director decides to make another movie based on the second book titled The Sea Of Monsters. We know what the cast talks like, and how they act, so if helps out decide if the movie was better than the book or vise versa. I would say the acting was amazingly practiced which is one of the main reasons why the movie is better than the bok in my opinion

3. The Special Effects

The fire, the hair Medusa had, and the stone turning was just too much for me to handle. The special effects were well put into the movie and were used with just about every character the trio faced. The water effects had to be the greatest special effect during the battle with Luke and Percy because Percy's poses and how the water formed around him was just crazy. When Luke almost died from drowning, I remembered he had said "You may be no son of Poseidon." and I thought to myself Luke had just gotten shown how much damage Percy can do. If only special effects were real, then we would know how dangerous the monsters were and how determined they were to kill Percy and his friends. We would probably honor anyone who returned from an actual quest if we were all half-bloods and I only have one more thing to say and that is, when is the sequal?!
