Jenna's+Comparison


 * __THE BOOK IS BETTER THAN THE MOVIE!__**


 * __POINT #1__** - The book is more detailed than the movie because the book has much more detail. In the book they explain more about who Percy is and about his father. In the movie everything went really quick and they figure out who Percy's real father is really fast. Without the exciting details you would be less interested. In the movie they don't talk about the war between Ares and Percy. That was a very big event. I can't believe they left that out! That was a very important detail when percy retrieves the Lightning Bolt. I was really looking foward to seeing that part in the movie. They didn't talk about how Mrs.Dodds vanished either! Instead she just flew away. She didn't even come later on in the movie like the book. It would amaze more people to do the important parts of the book. That made it less detailed and made me less interested. Without the details it's like I don't even know what this movie was anymore!

__**POINT #2**__ - The book is better than the movie because they extended it more. In The movie it was very short with many of the scenes. The beginning of the movie went by really fast. They didn't even tell much of Yancy Academy and the feild trip. They made the Camp Half Blood scenes shorter than the book. This is very important because if they didn't extend it, the movie would be less interesting to people who already read the book. They would be very dissapointed not to see many long parts of the book. Many of the long parts of the book are very important details which lead to many other details in the book. It would shock them and say, "WOW!", if they extended it to add many other scenes from the book. Without those extended scenes it would put many people to sleep and less interested!

__**POINT #3**__ - The book described the characters differently than in the movie. In the movie the characters looked different than in the book. For example Annabeth is suppose to have beautiful grey eyes and wavy blonde hair but, instead she has brown hair and deep blue eyes in the movie. they also talk about how the are suppose to be twelve years old yet, in the movie they look like they are 15! They should have made the characters in the movie look like the characters in the book. They should make them look like how we would vision them while reading. It really dissapoints you to see them in the movie looking different then when you vision them in the book. It's like they are a totally different person! Although the movie wasn't that bad, they should have made the movie more like the book.
