I THINK THE BOOK THE LIGHTNING THIEF IS BETTER THAN THE MOTION PICTURE ! !

Point One- Book has more details in the storyline : In my opinion, the book has many more events and details. In the movie, there are several events being left out. The story line is completely twisted around and is not taking the facinating things that happen in the book into the motion picture. Characters are better described and well put in situations. There is more dialogue and it make the whole story flow better. The movie changes the events and doesnt put as much detail into where the main characters go and what they are thinking. In order to understand a storyline, you need to have an inside into the characters thoughts and have many examples of what is happening and how it will build up through to the end. There aren't enough events or details in the motion picture of Percy Jackson and the Lightening thief- you won't miss out on anything from not seeing the movie so go and read the book instead!

Point Two- The book is more captivating: Imagine standing in a line for half an hour. Waiting to buy your popcorn and twisslers, and then you finally walk into the theater. You sit down and you wait a long time, watching previews and The Lightning Theif suddenly appears. The movie is starting and you are getting bored after only 10 minutes. I payed ten dollars for this? I should have read the book. That is what will go on inside your head if you go out and see the movie. You shouldn't waste your money on a movie if you might become disinterested. You should feel like your part of the action if you want to see a movie worth while. Believe it or not, but movie's can sometimes even catch your interest better than movies. And the disappointment out of the twist and turns in a movie is about maybe the worst part of your experience. Trust me, watching the motion picture instead of reading the book is going to put you to sleep and drip your money down the drain.

Point Three- Movie is too fast moving: Sometimes, a movie can really get on your last nerves because it is slow moving. Well, there's the same with the opposite.A book should last you maybe a week to read, where a movie can last up to only about two hours. Sometimes all the events are shortened to fit into the timing of the entire film. In this movie, I think that the events are too closed in and it doesn't make much sence to an individual if they haven't even read the story. You want a movie that explains what is happening so you don't have to take so much time into reviewing and asking the people around you, "What just happened??" If you don't keep your eyes glued on the screen, your bound to miss something. In a book, you can flip back to a page you need to look at again, and you won't have the story line crushed into an hourly time period. Events are more mutual and you are garanteed to understand the plot better. You won't think twice about a well developed story like this one. You are bound to enjoy and spend your time wisely with the story edition of the Lightning Thief. Don't waste two hours and a not organized story. Forget it, books are just better than the movies.
