I'd rather have a tv show of percy Jackson than a movie.
+Candice Martisano
There's a show similar to that. It's called Class of the Titans.
+3DSDF yeah but it doesn't have that Rick riordan feel. Or the characters I know and love.
Candice Martisano
Eh, but at least it's a better substitute than this crappy movie.
+3DSDF agree
+Candice Martisano I like that idea.... just scared of how they do it if they decide to do so
My biggest problem with this movie is the disservice done to Hades's character. Of all the Greek gods, Hades is the least cruel and petty, and Riordan knew that and wrote him that way. The screenwriters on the other hand... "God of the Underworld? OMG TEH DEBIL!"
That always has been a pet peeve of mine. Just because he's the god of the underworld doesn't mean he has to be evil. Odd cultural differences between modern day America and ancient Greek myth, I guess.
KrimsonRogue That's always bugged me, too. Compared to his two brothers, Hades is a saint--he never harassed mortals, he treated his wife well and never (well, rarely) cheated on her, and he gave mortals who broke into the underworld a sporting chance (see the story of Orpheus). Oh, and being the god of death wasn't his own choice; he got conned into it by Zeus.
Amie Fortman their is the issue where he cleaved the flesh of his step-child. also i think an eternity of Demeters' Cereal Fetish Jewish 'mumming' would drive anyone insane.
EDIT: Mellinoe, forgot the name.
Robert Simmons Huh...I guess I'll have to look up that story. I haven't heard that one before. But he did punish a guy to a pool of ear-deep water in Tatarus for doing basically the same thing, so there's that.
Amie Fortman Zeus pulled a body swap and slept with her to get mellinoe so he did the body cleaving to destroy zeus' half. also the side material says that persephone is the most forgiving of Hades for his infidelity 1) because theirs far fewer than the other two. and 2) because she gets that six months in the underworld is lonely, and he has to spend eternity as its guardian. still doesnt stop her from turning Nico into a Dandelion during a "family spat"
You know what's the best thing?
It's a SUMMER camp.
It's WARM.
They wear T-SHIRTS. Conclusion: It's summer.
So WHY ON EARTH would Persephone be in the underworld when the whole point of the season thing is that she ist at OLYMPUS AT SUMMER????!!!
I watched this movie one time and I was prepared for one hour of shouting things to Chris Columbus.
Persephone's not even in the book for that exact reason.
*inhales*
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH
I've heard that in some versions of the original myth, Persephone _did_ go to the underworld during summer, due to the fact that the Greek summers were _mercilessly_ dry, making the harvest difficult.
The few times she does show up in the books it's during the winter, when Percy isn't at camp.
@@SorowFame the first time we see Persephone is in the final book and that's with her mother due to the impending war
I can't believe the guy who had a hand in the first two harry potter gave us this bull . I want to get drunk myself
Hahahahaha! "My mother's goddess of wisdom and battle strategy. Do you know what that means?" "That you're a massive disappointment?" Yeessss! Hahaha, this joke is gold
This Video actually misses a Bunch, just as all
Reviewers and Ranters do; its funny actually - its like
a big Puzzle.
I recommend everyone watching more Videos about these 2 Movies
and of course also read the actual Books.
Movie Flame just made 2 really good Videos about this, ya know?
And he knows the Books far better than Krimson Rogue,
so he wont say anything wrong like Krimson Rogue did like
"They didnt ruined anything yet, just made some questionable decisions..."
All characters had been ruined, all of them, from the very start, so
thats that.
Go puzzle together the Puzzle, people!
@@slevinchannel7589 i’m sorry but for some reason, it took me reading this comment like three times to understand it. i think it may have something to do with the jumps you do between some sentences like
this lol. but honestly i haven’t watched the movies OR read the books so i really wouldn’t know if anything was missed or not.
A massive headache would be more appropriate, IMO
@@NayrAnur the funny thing is, Athena was born from Zeus' headache. Also, it's heavily implied that her children are born similarly, so your joke is brilliant.
@@slevinchannel7589 I 100% agree. I was surprised that Krimson Rogue knew so little about the books and even thinks Grover was handled good in the film.
wait, why is Hades a villain?
last time a checked, he was one of the LEAST dickish of the Gods.
I KNOW RIGHT?!?!?!! HE IS LIKE THE SALTY SHY GUY I SWEAR TO THE GODS-
I actually loved when Hades appeared in the books. He was so fed up with everyone, that made me laugh all the time
@@CreationCopilot i mean Hades doesn't really like Percy much he though Percy stole his Helm. But he isnt evil
The Creation Copilot What about Kronos? He should be the main villain.
Not if you compare how they poorly portrayed him in the Disney version and Once Upon a Time.
Yeah, I especially hate the fact that they combined Annabeth and Clarisse... They're two very different people.
dorothea orth na, they didn’t combine. I hear clarrise was supposed to be there until i guess they started reading the book, realized they already started her scenes, and just chimeraed the scenes they shot with the former clarrise with some others attempting to make her a bit closer to the book. But who knows
Book Annabeth would still kick Movie Annabeth’s ass.
Then they tried to put in clarisse
and then they tried to do a love triangle
Exactly. Book Annabeth isnt that agressive. And Percy WAS IN HER TEAM. She was like " hey you make things explote. I want you".
18:51 "cruel and abusive"? Idiot screenwriters had no idea that Hades and Persephone were the most loving and faithful to eachother married god couple! Hades literally only strayed twice and BOTH women got zapped by Persephone!
EXACTLY I WAS SO PISSED THEY ARE THE MOST LOYAL COUPLE OF THE GREEK GODS
Dont ship to much Aphrodite might come in
You're kinda forgetting Hades tricked Persophone into staying in the underworld forever by eating the fruit lmao
The movie writers had to do that otherwise they would have to make the movie 5 times longer. Not saying I support that it sucks and it's horrible
@@butcanyoudothis3320 There are multiple versions.
-Some involve trickery from Hades
-Some say Persephone just wandered in and Hades went a-courtin'
-I think there's one where Aphrodite didn't like that Hades wasn't in love (aka under some level of her control) and had her son Eros hit him with a love arrow
-I think I read one where Persephone was tired of her controlling mother and eloped with Hades, who she had previously met
All but the absolute basics of the situation are a crap shoot, is what I'm getting at.
I like how the movie does NOTHING to introduce Percy's powers or even gives him any time to learn how to use them. In the book he started by using them completely unknowingly, like shooting the water out of the toilet. Throughout the course of the series he developed his power and learned how to control it. The movie, on the other hand, throws all that out the window and just says "NOPE, he can suddenly summon tsunamis and mould water into tridents and knows exactly how and that he is capable of doing so." Also, in the movie it is Persephone who made the pearls, she could just as easily give them an extra one to get Grover out of the underworld.
mulderandbuffy
I like that too, Because it’s definitely realistic for Percy to be able to fully use his powers after just finding out his demigod status. Yeah sure. What are you talking about? There’s no such thing as growth!
Percy discovering his powers in the book was like Peter Parker discovering his powers in the Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield adaptations.
I mean she did want to bonk Grover so maybe she did that on purpose
Persephone wasn't in the book, do you know why?
Because it was summer, you know the story:
Hades had a crush on her, blah blah blah, Zeus told Hades to let her go, but until Hades told Persephone that, she already ate a third of a pomegranate, so she had to stay, but Demeter was furious, so they decided that Persephone will stay in the underworld, but only for a third of the year, for the third she ate (that is winter) and for the rest of the year she could do what she wants (not winter).
As far as I know, summer is NOT winter.
If you make a movie about Greek mythology, at least make sure you know Greek mythology. SERIOUSLY.
Yoav Sigler, she ate 3 pomegranate seeds and she stays for the latter of the summer, and the whole fall and winter then she returns in the spring so Demeter let's the earth live again instead of letting it DIE
To be honest, even if the movies were decent like the Harry Potter movies, they probably would've missed small details like that. :/
the book wasnt set in the summer, the movie was. the book was set in the days before the winter solstice, because the winter solstice was when the gods had their annual meeting
@@MissInformer wrong book Titan's Curse the third book is the only book that is set in winter and is set during the days leading up to the winter solstice; Where the Light thief and every other book in the series are set in the summertime.
@@KeybladerDef that's fair, I looked back and noticed I was mistaking the books. It's been a few years since reading and I just remember being annoyed about the movie. Thanks for the correction.
Fun fact: The author had nothing to do with the movie ;)
They rarely do, I believe. J.K. Rowling is an exception.
Fun fact: he also hates it
I don't blame him if I were Rick I'd want nothing to do with this monstrosity either
@@Heroshii15 and whoever wrote Hunger games (can't remember their name right now, sorry)
Lonly Wanderer
Suzanne Collins was the Author of The Hunger Games 🏹
This is exactly why Percy Jackson and the Olympians were voted the worst book to movie adaptation, along with several book series such as Jumper, Inheritance Cycle, and Maze Runner. These producers had absolutely no respect for the series or for its fans. The first movie alone is completely unfaithful to its source material, ruining the plot and jeopardizing future adaptations.
This movie made me hate Chris Columbus and why he would do this is completely unknown. He faithfully directed the first two movies of Harry Potter but did a complete 180 for Percy Jackson.
I think Rick had little to no creative input where as JK Rowling had a lot of creative input
Mackayla Cook i assume he didn’t since riordon says he never saw the films, nor does he want to ruin his vision of his characters by seeing them
@@ilopominecrafter agreed, I remember him saying that he'd been sent the scripts for his opinion and he hated it
Mackayla Cook even more hilarious is that the second movie started with a script EXACTLY like the book, like so close you’d think they just copied exactly what was in the book. Then they decided the empathy link no sense and suddenly one or two other things didn’t either, soooo rewrite to make no sense at all.
@@ilopominecrafter oh yeah definitely
A few things I particularly hate about this movie are, well...
A: How the movie decided to portray Percy dyslexia and, particularly, his ADHD... By literally telling us to our faces. In one of the most unnatural bits of dialoge I have ever seen in a movie( Something along the lines of, his mom asking "Hey Percy, how is your dyslexia going?" and Percy awnsering "Not good, especially with my ADHD getting on the way". ). See, the books had this bit of cleverness on which they were narrated by Percy perspective, and Percy would often comment on randon facts related to what is going on right now, such as the brand of underwear that the Minotaur was wearing( No, seriously ), that in my opinion was a great way to SHOW he had ADHD, because people with that disorder tend to focus surprisingly too much in small, insignificant details, as well as adding pretty much 90% of the comedy in the books by theirselves. Here, though, we are just told. And never shown.
B: Grover characterization. See... Why did they had to make him into a Chris Rock wanna-be, exactly? His previous characterization as a lover-of-all-life was fine, and he was actually my favourite character. But then they went and... Do no black people take offense to Hollywood throwing that stereotype at us over and over again? And, on this case, taking a character that wasnt black, and making him black, SPECIFICALLY to use that stereotype?( By the way, I dont actually dislike Grover being black, only the stereotype they threw in. )
C: And why did they completely took Chronos, as well as Ares, from the first film? ... And also, would bring back Chronos on the secound film... Only to ruin him?
In regards to point A, another thing they did REALLY well with the ADHD thing - the fight where Percy comments on that he somehow has some amount of awareness of all his surroundings in comparison to him and his opponent (trying to keep it spoiler free here). That REALLY did a lot to explain how it's one of his major advantages, rather than "just" being a character quirk. They never justified in the movie why having ADHD is one of his major assets, they just have Grover SAY it to Percy, and don't really do anything to follow up on it. It NEVER comes into play. At least not in any way I ever noticed.
Dado Bojart. And Clarisse was a cool character too.
Dado Bojart when I think of Grover I think of movie version when I learned in the books he was white I was surprised
I feel like in the TV show there should be a line with Percy just saying "Woah, aRE THOSE CALVIN KLEINS-" and then being pulled away from the fight.
Dado Bojart I remember, the minotaur was wearing tighty whities (I think)😂😂
They don't even mention the mist until the second movie and mess it up there too.
I find it more hilarious that in the books, we know about the other demigod children and how their appearance/demeanor indicated who was the child of what god or goddess. In the movie, heck with it. They ain’t percy or his closest buddies, so they could neeeeever matter enough to bother.
@@ilopominecrafter closest buddies? They don't give a shite about any of the charcters or the story. They just did this because they wanted to experiment and thought they could be better at telling Rick Riordan's story than himself. It's frustrating.
They do mention the mist in passing in the first book but in passing. Chiron mentions it once.
Ya the mist is super important
the mist is crazy important in the first book. It's the whole reason all of their monster fights are interpreted as something else by mortals (most importantly the fight against Ares being seen as 3 kids fighting against their kidnapper). This could be proper explanation for the fight with Luke in the movie if they didn't change it to a bottle of cologne that you need to keep spraying on yourself.
@@tinygreencreature5167 so true dude, I also just realized that we both responded to a 3 year old comment 🤣🤣🤣
But in the myths, (sorry, have to do this) Hades was in love with Persephone. He treated like a queen, and fought to keep her. It never mentions in any Greek myth that he ever hurt her. It only says she didn't like the Underworld, because there were no plants or sunlight down there.
Yeah, but people seem so confused separating Hades from Satan that they automatically assume they're the same thing.
Reyna Tide Melinoe may be a sore point for them
Reyna Tide True, enough. They were in love. And Persephone would never betray Hades. It was kinda proved in the Demigod Files.
Reyna Tide But even then in some versions he creates the Violet for her (Partially to help lure her to the Underworld) but he did make flowers (Some say Zeus made them But I like the idea that Hades made them better, and it makes more sense because being god of the Underworld he would control the nutrients in the soil) and even if he didn't Persephone's Garden is filled with flowers made of gold and jewels.
So It's far from being the pits. Plus there's grass and Pomegranate trees in the Elysium (The good part of the underworld). Wait if there were pomegranates that would mean there are plants there... Just noticed that. Plus there are times in the old myths were she cheats on him (Ouch!) and he doesn't get mad or kill her lovers. Because he just forgives her I guess. And she is sometimes in the underworld out of season, which means she doesn't hate it there as much as people think. I mean she did change her name from Kore (Meaning the Maiden) to Persephone (Meaning "Bringer of Desturction") when she married Hades... So maybe she has a dark side. I wonder what Demeter thinks about that?
Reyna Tide On an unrelated note, I kind of want to name my future Daughter Persephone, Its so metal.
18:00...

......
That's Hades?
No. No. No. NOOOOO!!!
Book version's description.
"Robed in silk, a crown of braided gold resting on albino white skin with jet black hair, radiating grace yet dangerous power atop of throne fused of human bones."
THIS! IS! NOT! HADES!
They minds well have just posted a sign that said "WE DON'T GIVE A CRAP ABOUT THE SOURCE MATERIAL!"
They probably reeeally liked God of War and wanted to recreate that in PG13 form, lol
@@madisonb8163, even GoW tells Greek myths better than this movie.
Oh god, I forgot he looked like a 50 year old rock star, but what did they do to poor Persephone? She wasnt even in the first book!
This is NOT my type of Hades!!!
damn that book description sounds good. I hated this movie but the book sounds cool
I love the Percy Jackson series. They gave so much adventure and detail and the movie was so shit for me.
My thoughts exactly.
I'm glad they didn't touch The Kane Chronicles. I imagine how awful the movies would've been. If they want to bring the Percy Jackson series to life, maybe it should be a cartoon with good animation, better actors, and a better script.
My thoughts exactly, the series was my escape from reality, and as a movie it was alright but as an adaptation of a pretty big book series with so much going on it just kinda...flopped in my opinion
What’s ironic is i didn’t read the book series before i saw the movies (i read the series years later) and was initially jarred and thought the movie was better. Then i researched, and got annoyed at the movie. saw this review, and got mad. Saw the sequel and thought it at least was better on stayin true to the books. Then saw it again and stopped being blindsided by what they changed to try to stick closer... and boy did i rage
I watched the movie first, so when I read the books I was beyond pissed.
And yet ANOTHER misinterpretation of Greek mythology that makes Hades evil! Hades was probably the LEAST jackassish of the three chief Greek gods! Yet because he's the god of the dead, almost all modern interpretations keep making him evil! ARGH!
That's what I keep saying
I a agree with you but he did curse Delphi
Axioanarchist The book actually mentions this. The book even actively discouraged that kind of thought. So, it's sad that the movie made Hades a knock off Satan.
Axioanarchist hes not the god pf the dead hes the god of the underworld
Lauren Talbot well he does RULE the dead. Not Death but yeah he does the dead
(Later) WHAT THE HELL? Percy's sword is made of celestial bronze, which is metal. METAL. CONDUCTS. LIGHTNING. He should be Kentucky Fried Percy right now!
Uh... rubber hilt? Lol, you do bring up a good point though. XD
High Functioning Sociopath Or you could argue that the writers failed science 101. Cause in the books when Thalia shoots lightning at him he can't just deflect it with his sword.
The master bolt sucks anyway. I mean, it is supposed to be the ultimate weapon, but all it can do is knock some bricks loose.
+Schwarzer Ritter
Yet Chiron describes it as making hydrogen bombs look like firecrackers.
I will also add that lightning should be going 1/3 of the speed of light, so it would be near impossible to deflect in the first place.
Actually this movie just got me thinking:
If luke wanted percy and the crew to perish in the underworld...
Then WHY, WOULD HE TELL THEM ABOUT THE PEARLS?! If he wanted to make sure if they would never return, why tell them about a get out a jail free card like them? If not that then why not make a passing comment about the food there being so good and trick them into staying in the underworld? THIS IS SO STUPID!

@@slevinchannel7589 personally I read the books (sometimes) before I watch the review, if he went to even 5% of the themes of the book or the series, it'd be longer than whatever movie he's reviewing especially if it's good like his dante's inferno review where he could make a whole video about the inferno itself.
nobody with adhd has ever said “im a loser, *i have adhd*”
in the books, there was at least nuance. in the movie, the screenwriters massively misunderstood percy’s self esteem issues, which undermines literally everything.
BUT GRAMMAR?
in the book the gods couldnt touch each others godly objects? and Hades and Persephone easily handle Zues' lightning bolt
Loveislife365 They couldn't directly steal the others weapons. They can use them is someone else steals it
Yeah they can touch them as seen when Ares has Hades Helm of darkness i might be getting the name wrong but you get what i mean
Gajeel 145 na that is exactly it.
I think it was they weren't supposed to than being physically incapable, otherwise what would be the point in stealing them besides pissing off your siblings
Elia, they cannot steal their objects of power, not touch them.
That is why their kids can steal them, and why Luke steals the lightning instead of sending a god.
But I cannot remember if the movies said steal or touch
Did anyone else think that this movie really undermined the importance of being a child of the big three? The way Percy discovered which of the gods was his father in the book was during the capture the flag game when he was trying to protect his flag. He was outnumbered and used a nearby creek unintentionally and it was at that point when he found out Poseidon was his father. In the movie, they just know it from the beginning.
Maeve Kilcarr even before there were hints in the book they merged in the movie: shooting toilet water when they tried to dunk his head at camp, a master canoer (just go with it), percy becoming stronger and seemingly more skilled (or better to absorb what he had been taught) by pouring some water on his head, and of course the healing at the creek.
I mean it was a HUGE part of the story and why Percy's camp life was the way it was. In the book, World War 2 was a bunch of Big Three Half-Bloods trying to figure out who was the strongest. Afterwards, the Big Three signed a pact to never have kids ever again. Percy is the result of Poseidon breaking that pact. THAT'S why he's not allowed to interact with his kid.
MagicRainbow Kitties that and the gods are technically not supposed to help their children (or anyone usually) directly as is stated by their ancient laws. If not, half the series could be solved and luke would have no reason to be mad since his dad would be able to be there and tell him what he wanted
@@ilopominecrafter True. This is gotten rid of right after Last Olympian, though.
i thought that demigods werent allowed to look at the gods true godly form/ and that the flying shoes were supposed to bring percy straight to tartarus..and i wish that they put the love ride scene on...srsly the book was better..
Plus all the subtle details you miss at first that they just kinda throw out the window then set fire to with middle-finger shaped flamethrowers
I can't believe that the guy who made home alone and the first two Harry Potter films made this abomination
Ikr
Everybody can make crap
Chris Columbus isn't really at fault. Sure, he didn't have the same excitement for this as HA and HP, but he had to work on a terrible script
Ok, the thing that always drives me nuts is Luke playing call of duty... Demi - Gods aren't supposed to have electronics! It alerts the monsters! It's like Luke is beg- oh... wait...
It still drives me nuts...
Master_Keyblade actually in Battle of the Labrenth Percy mentions that he plays videogames and gets the wires tangled then again I assume he plays offline at all times.
Zavven Sadein i think the things is: demigods can use electronics, just none that send up a signal (ie game system that is using internet or a cell phone).
every time I think of 1 inconsistency I have to step back and just give up and not voice it cos then I think of about 50 other inconsistencies in the next second.
but ffs KRONOS ISNT EVEN IN THE MOVIE!??!?!?!?!? btw wtF THOSE SHOES WERE MEANT TO BE CURSED R U KIDDDINNGGGGGG. THE **ENTIRE** **PLOT** LITERALLY *CHANGES* INTO FINDING PEARLS WHEN THAT WAS ONE OF THE MOST MINOR THINGS 3/4 OF THE WAY INTO THE BOOK ?!?!?!?!?!?!?! only 1 (*ONE*) of the major plot events (medusa) was consistent with the book quest ?!?!?!?!?!?! AND LUKE IS JUST A KID WITH DADDY ISSUES?????!??!?! and what happened to 'I'm not Ares, you can't goad me into a fig-WTF WHAT THE FUCK ABOUT ARES?!??! ARES ISNT EVEN IN TH - ah shit, you see what I mean?
I think that its just that they cant use the call on phones or mic on video games (thats my theory maybe its just another one of the many fuckups of the movie)
bubble soda the one for the games i think is true since in the percy jackson or its sequel series, i recall percy saying he had a hard time untangling his game controller cords (brought up since he tangled antaeus up on purpose) and another character stating they had played an old game on someone’s n64
"The gods come off as subtle as Bond villains."
Sean Bean, who plays Zeus in this movie, was actually a Bond villain, in the very same movie Pierce Brosnan (Chiron) started his tenure as Bond, 'Goldeneye'.
The first movie where Sean Bean didn't die
ChardCore42 he didn't die in troy like rouge said put Sean bean in a movie about Greeks or Greek mythology and he survives
the lightning thief was the one movie where sean bean didn't die
Maybe because the story didn't have Zeus getting killed or dying.
Sander Nielsen and zeus can’t die anyway. The closest they could do is scattering, and even then, it is probably difficult to think of a way to wound him in a way to do that
Aphrodite is NOT Zeus's child. She was born from sea foam and Cronos's nethers.
Chronos? I think you mean Ouranos, the father of Chronos and the Titans.
Yes. Ouranos.
Hayley Bartek To be fair, there is a second myth about Aphrodite’s birth, where she IS the daughter of Zeus.

No Ares fight no Kronos no clever luke betrayal and Smelly Gabe is still alive. 0/10 Like really the betrayal was amazing in the book. You shall go west, and face the god who has turned,You shall find what was stolen, and see it safely returned,You shall be betrayed by one who calls you a friend,And you shall fail to save what matters most, in the end. That prophecy in the beggining set up the whole plot yet provides room for twists and turns especially with the betrayal line as it makes Percy worry until the end when luke tries to assassinate Percy instead of a DBZ battle in the sky of New York
+Aiden Neally Yh that is one of my favorite parrts of the books. You hear a prophecy and try to figure out who it is talking about and what it means. They completly fuck this up in the movie and probably the rest of the series if they are continuing it...at least the the second movie was somewhat better than the first.
And don't forget...No Clarisse, either...had to wait for "Sea of Monsters" film to even see her...also, the film turning Hades into the villain was really stupid....they also took the Hydra from the Sea of Monsters book and used it here.....I was really disappointed in this film.
Les exactly
Actually, in the end, Gabe came across Medusa's head in the fridge and got killed.
@@CreepingHistory they aren't continuing the series because Logan Lerman won't be part of it.
I'm surprised that you didn't mention they fell into the common trap of makeing Hades the devil
@Quodlibeta Hades not being the devil and hades being a good dad are 2 very different things
I can sometimes excuse when that happens, such as with Hercules and Kid Icarus: Uprising, as Hades was more than just a bowling pin to knock over. This Harry Potter knockoff couldn’t even afford to do that, he just makes threats and gets beaten up by his wife.
“The prince of darkness himself”
Nico?!
No , the guys that made these movies !
Nico was awesome. There was a little grey area there because of what went down in book three and it made him so bitter. I loved how he was pretty much the ultimate cryptic character, if that makes any sense, everyone was terrified that Kronos would turn him to his side because of what he was capable of. He’s one of my favorites.

In the book, after the car.crash, Grover also passed out. And during capture the flag, Percy and Annabeth were on the same team
Also, Annabeth didn't have the strategic powers of Starscream.
ChardCore42 and for gods' sake... ANNABETH WAS BLONDE!!!!!
Alexandra daddario looked terrible blonde.
and another thing, Percy had black hair and green eyes not brown hair and blue eyes
Alexandra had brown in hair in the first movie and in the second one she dyed it but what happened to the PRINCESS CURLS???
True. Sea green eyes. 12 years old. Oh, and she definitely disliked Percy at first and the movie's dialog makes me gag- "I have strong feelings for you...."
Although, I think his hair was black in this movie? I didn't see brown.
Logan Lerman is very cute in his own way, but is not appropriate for Percy. PERCY HAD MESSY HAIR, NOT BANGS.
grover's not black
they fought the hydra in sea of monsters
Charon wears Italian suits
they're supposed to be twelve
he's supposed to be claimed
the underworld is dark and gloomy

ARES!!! WHO PLAYED A HUGE FUCKING PART!!
I understand you couldn't bring up all the changes from the books, but they were so many! People deserve to know that this is not Percy Jackson! The only way to do so is to reboot the franchise and possibly make a tv-show out of it for more screen-time. Btw, why didnt you address the most important change of them all? Percy is supposed to be 12, not 18!
Anyway, very entertaining and funny video, keep up the good work man!
+Torsten Sigulsson Why is it that people rant about how bad these movies are in terms of adaption quality, and yet praise How To Train Your Dragon despite it being a worse adaptation than these?
+Pete Hill Because how to train your dragon was a good movie.
Pete Hill So you actually enjoy this piece of crap movie?
Torsten Sigulsson It's a guilty pleasure.
+Torsten Sigulsson Well percy was probably 18 for acting reasons. A good child actor is hard to find. Sometimes you hit a gold mine like Daniel from Harry Potter and sometimes you have a crappy actor like the third or four Home Alone (Idk what he is called)
Percy Jackson is the type of movie you can actually somewhat enjoy, unless you read the book and then everything pisses you off about the movie.
I've actually read the book and I still like this movie.

Book: “If only Persephone was here, she was the only person who could calm down her husband Hades”
Movie: *WhAt CaN yOu Do?! Im AlReAdY iN hElL*
The thing I hated most in this movie was the portrayal of Hades and the Underworld itself. It's been a while since I've read the books, but I remember Hades being more cold and indifferent rather then inherently evil. He took his vows seriously and almost never went back on them. He's essentially stuck running a world he wants no part of, yet he still does his job because it's his duty and if he doesn't do it then the living world will erupt into anarchy. He has to take care of the dead. All of them. No exceptions. Hell, I like him more then the other gods in future books because he tends to be a lot nicer to... certain people... then the other gods. Even if I don't particularly like the people he's nice to, it's still a decent gesture. The Hades here is just.... no. Just no.
The Underworld in the movie is portrayed analogous to Hell, when in the book it's a bit more like Purgatory with some elements of Heaven and Hell in between. The denizens don't know that though, and so they see what afterlife they wish to see. It was an interesting concept and one that I liked a lot in the book.
On it's own, I would give the movie a 7/10 rating. It was good overall, a mediocre action/fantasy.
For an adaptation, I would give it 1/10 for the same names.
my rating is 6/10 above average but not that great either but as a movie its not that bad, its just okay.
adaptation : ? havent read the books yet so i cant complain!
@@netabolt6546 READ THE BOOKS! they will change ur life lol
2/10 as a movie alone. It's boring with no likeable characters and bland action.
0/10 as a book adaptation. For fuck's sake, it's like they just read the plot on wikipedia.
Eh, 5/10 for a movie in my opinion. It’s a bit boring and formulaic for a “Greek fantasy mixed with modern day” movie.
But as an adaptation? This movie can suck my balls.
The movie was already cringe by itself, even more cringe when compared to the Potter or LotR films, and is worse than Tartarus when compared to the source material.
List of characters that these movies ruined:
Hades in the books was a tempered yet understanding God who isn't cruel and even assists Percy in the last battle. In the movies, he's Satan. Because Hades immediately equals big meanie.
Grover was a nerdy yet loveable guy who is sentitive and cowardly yet grows courageous enough to assist in the fight against Kronos. Here, he's a douche. The cool popular guy with nothing interesting going on in his character arc.
Tyson in the books is childish goofball who loves Percy with all his heart. Here he's a nerdy teen. And once again, nothing interesting or lovable about him.
Clarisse is a stubborn yet sympathetic character who only wants to appease her father. Here she has no character. She's a one-dimensional bully. Again, not interesting or likeable.
Annabeth was probably my favorite character from the books. She was interesting, brave, sympathetic, goofy at times. But she's much less likeable here. She feels more selfish and bitchy.
And most insulting of all, Luke. Luke was one of the most interesting, complex, and sympathetic villaibs in the books. These movies make him an emotional-less, one-dimensional who's only evil for the sake of being evil. This change pisses me off the most, no question.
I wouldn't call movie Clarisse a bully. I'd call her movie Percy's girlfriend. They have way more chemistry than movie Annabeth.
Ancient Greek scholars: Hades and Persephone have a beautiful, consensual relationship where despite a rocky start by kidnapping they eventually fall in love, him putting her happiness and the wellbeing of earth before his own loneliness and is easily one the most stable relationships in ancient greek lore.
Percy Jackson movie: "hE's cRuEL aND AbUsIvE"
I know how trivial this is but...
Where in the holy hell is Clarisse?
Why isn't Annabeth blond?
Where in the fuck is Ares?
Why does Hades want war?
Where is Dionysus?
What the hell did they do to the Lotus Casio?
Why are these kids, who are supposed to be 12, 16+?
Why are the gods wearing godly armor when they should be in more "human" clothing?
Why is there no Pinochle?
Why is the Hermes cabin to crammed full of kids?
Why do they never go over Percy's isolation?
Why is there no mist to cover of the mythical BS going on?
I could go on, but nah. I've pointlessly ranted enough.
+Anonymous Nyan I can answer the question about their ages. The director wanted older actors who would be more capable of handling the material, supposedly.
Also I have one of my own: WHY THE FUCK IS PERSEPHONE HERE?! Get out of the underworld if you hate it so much... It's still summer!
+apocolypseToreador
I think it was actually because they thought it would bring in more audiences because teens were apparently cool.
+Anonymous Nyan I was looking forward to seeing Ares. But at least this movie wasn't a blizzard of balls like some of the other movies he reviews.
+apocolypseToreador the Harry potter crew handled all that in spades at 11!
+Anonymous Nyan and where is hercules??
"This movie sucks more than a riptide."
I see what you did there.
Why do filmmakers make films when they are too lazy to get everyone involved to read the book? I finished this book in like, a day and a half and I can't understand why no one involved in its film adaptation took the few hours to do so as well.
I liked the books. The film? Not so much.
Hell... Did they even make the other movies? I honestly don't know if they made the other 4 or not.
They made the Sea of Monsters and it sucked about as much as the first if not worse. There are rumors that they're working on the third movie but I honestly hope they don't.
They made # 2 but I hope to the GODS that they never make another movie

Lol Aphrodite wasn't a kid of Zeus, I forgot what she was born from, I think it was something about Ouranus the primordial god
+Rinse TheTeaSipper
The Titan Kronos (Greek: Κρόνος) castrated his father Ouranos (Ancient Greek: Οὐρανός), and chopped him into pieces, with a scythe forged by his mother, Gaia (Ancient Greek: Γαῖα). Afterwards, Kronos tossed Ouranos' genitalia into the sea, as an insult to his brother Okeanos (Greek: Ὠκεανός), the eldest of the Titans (Greek: Τiτᾶνες - “Straining [Gods]”), for not helping with the murder of their father. At the spot in the sea where Ouranos' genitals landed, sea foam began to bubble up; the goddess Aphrodite (Greek: Ἀφροδίτη) then sprang forth.
Rinse TheTeaSipper There are actually two different myths about Aphrodite’s birth. One of them is that he was born from sea foam from Ouranus’ genitals, another is that she’s the daughter of Zeus and a goddess named Dione.
They cut off his balls and they fall into ocean. Then Aphrodite came along. Or she just came from sea foam.
Greek has so many variations of myths it’s stupid to try to argue what’s the true myth
If you believe in alternate universes, just know, that there's a universe where the Percy Jackson movies aren't a disappointment

Indigo Rains
Wait, in the book they specifically had a rule saying NO maiming in Capture the Flag. Now they're just openly going at each other with swords. How is it that every time, I notice MORE things the movie screwed up?
To be fair, I have no doubt some students would ignore that rule(See: the guy who maimed Percy and gave him that cut in book 1), but everyone? Not as plausible.
Luke: You weren't suppose to make it out of there.
Luke earlier in the movie: So there are 3 pearls you can get to guarantee a quick and secure get-a-way.
I was always bothered by the fact that they didn't keep Hades like he was in the books, still a jerk but even annoyed by the "Hades is the bad guy" cliche.
I also hated the way Persephone portrayed, always felt that if she was to be a traitor she should at least be 'God Of War' kind of traitor.
And speaking of GOW, this is a movie that always get me in what I call: 'Kratos Mode'.
Also they don't show how wrong people are about Hades and the problems he has to deal with.
Trust me when I tell you that the second movie: The Sea of Monsters is just as worse if not more so. I read the books myself and I really enjoyed them. It pains me to see one of my favorite books series being butchered like this. Also I really love your videos.
It kind of annoys me that he keeps calling Percy Jackson the Greek Harry Potter also I hate the movies so much they literally kill me inside
Emily Jenkins yea, Percy is better.
Because it is Greek Harry Potter... -_-
Matthew Vader It’s really not
Matthew Vader Percy Jackson is an adventure series. They travel to different places. EVEN THE UNDERWORLD! The only HP book that had travel was the last. They also have (in my opinion) better relationships, better action and fight, and proper LGBT representation (including Pansexual and gender identity, not just gay or lesbian couples)

I actually started reading this series right when this movie came out (which is weird since I am a huge fan of Greek mythology), so I had only read the first couple of chapters when my sister took me too see it. I thought it wasn't too bad...until I finished the book.
Oh...what can I say? After Riordan did so well to get every Greek myth right, this movie frigged it up. Hydras don't breathe fire, they breathe poisonous gas. Poseidon was absent for most of the book, creating Percy's internal dilemma of wondering if his dad even liked him.
Biggest complaint? This is based on the first book in a series. Ergo, this movie should be the first in a series. If the books have a plot point that is mentioned in all of them (the frigging PROPHECY!) it needs to be addressed, because it's going to pop up in the other books, and it might be important!!! (Eragon also did this with simplifying Angela's fortune telling, but I'm not going to get into that because I will pop a blood vessel in my head. That movie RUINED my favorite character!)
Okay, sorry, I just love this book series so much. It pains me how badly the movie ruined it. You should review Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters, it's just as bad.

(23:07) Is it just me or does Poseidon call Percy, "Pussy."
Aphrodite isn't Zeus' kid. Her actual origin is much weirder than being someone's child.
Wasn't she born from sea foam and Poseidon's severed testicles?
Oranos'
"Aphrodite (Roman Venus): Aphrodite is the goddess of sexuality and desire. Note that in Greek and
Roman mythology, the goddess of sexual desire is a completely separate entity from Hera, the goddess of
marriage. Aphrodite is married to Hephaestus (Roman Vulcan), the god of the forge and fire, but she has
an ongoing affair with Ares, the god of war. (That makes perfect sense, since love and conflict are often
intermixed!) Sometimes Aphrodite is referred to as the Cytherean, because she was born in the sea-foam
off Cyprus when Zeus threw the severed testicles of the Titan Chronos into the ocean. These testicles
spontaneously impregnated the sea, and Aphrodite sprang from the ocean full-grown and naked. In other
versions, Aphrodite is one of Zeus's daughters."
Source: web.cn.edu/kwheeler/documents/Whacky_godlist.pdf
It wasn't Kronos' testicles thrown by Zeus. It was Ouronos' testicles thrown by Kronos. Kronos was cut up and spread across Tartarus.
+Recket King
In Homer's Iliad, Aphrodite was originally referred to as the daughter of Zeus and Dione. The origin of her springing forth from sea foam upon Kronos tossing Ouranos' genitalia into the sea was from Hesiod's Theogony.
"The Greek Version of Harry Potter."
I was not expecting him to say that right off the bat. I started laughing my ass off.
Poseidon is supposed to wear a Hawaiian shirt and I always imagined him looking like one of those guys in their 40s that still say stuff like “ super chill dude😏” and “all about the waves dude😎🏄🏻” and the movies make him look like this magestic serious person, my boy Poseidon is supposed to be the brother that would be in school and be like “forget homework!!! Imma go hang with some chicks at Apollo’s house party tonight” at least that’s how I imagined his personality would be.

+Nerd's the Word I've read pjuh but not the hidden orical I know word are spelled wrong.
The movie really just wanted fame... the content shown below is SPOILERS so if you haven't read the book, read it, otherwise you'll think I ruined it...
First of all, Percy isn't such an old character, he's 12! And the Parthenon, there are no janitors and then the Hydra, it's an old fat lady with her dog, and then he falls to the river, where the water spirit gives him the pearls, and Grover doesn't stay behind in the book, Hades brings back Sally (Percy's mom) when he gets back his Helm (Spoiler alert: Which ARES had set a trick, trap basically, so that the master bolt would not get to Percy until he was in the underworld)
-And other parts include: Luke GAVE Grover the flying shoes, so they had to run from a cave (Kronos's Burden, I guess), so they had to pull the flying shoes off of Grover, not to mention after they pulled them off, the cave started sucking them in, so they had to RUN. So when they escape, Ares is waiting for them on the bayside, so Percy and Ares have an epic showdown. And Ares says that he himself played the trick, thinking about a war between the gods delighted him, So when they 'finish' the battle, Ares gives back the Helm, Hades' Magic Hat of Invisibility, and then they flee to the Empire State Building, where Percy alone reaches the 500th floor and then confronts only Zeus and Poseidon in heir massive thrones and gives back the bolt and then gives the bolt... So a skip scene, Percy sees that his mother is back, and he realizes that the box that he puts Medusa's head in, is in his bedroom, so he talks to his mother, and when Percy is packing up for school, since Summer is ending, he gets a note that his Mother petrified the loser stepdad to stone... So then Percy gets a little visit from Luke and then takes a walk with him to the woods down to the creek, where then he has a 'chat' and realizes that Luke is the enemy, the one who betrayed Camp Half-Blood, and as a trap, Luke summons a little scorpion from under the ground and then makes it bite Percy... 7H3 3ND
just a correction: the old fat lady with her dog wasn't Hydra, she was Chimera, and was on the Gateway Arch in St.Louis, not at the Parthenon in Nashville
@@Moribax85 No the old fat lady was Echidna, the mother of all monsters and the dog was her son the Chimera
When Persephone and hades actually had a functional and healthy relationship in the actual myths.... flips tables lmao 😂

Yeah, If he and his dad had an argument while in the underworld I can so hear him saying that😂😂😂
@@omniomelet1472 Hade's could do something worse, he could throw them into Tartarus, which is depicted to be even worse then the underworld.
I hate that they never explained the mist that made what the Greeks did go almost unnoticed and appeared as something else. That would've helped with the fucking hydra and gods walking around.
I'm also super pissed that they completely ditched Ares-.- HE HAD A HUGE ASS PART IN THE PLOTS FOR THE BOOKS!

+Whovian Comments I know I was waiting for that scene as it was a big moment in Percy's and Annabeth's friendship/relationship
I would give it a 2/10. One of the worst film adaptations of a book alongside Jumper and Inheritance Cycle. The acting was decent but was completely unfaithful to its source material, poor casting, and the directing was horrendous.
What I find funny about Percy's interaction with Mrs. Dodds in the movie is that she was an english teacher when the first chapter of the book is "I Accidentally Vaporized my Pre-Algebra Teacher."
Goes to show the people behind the movie didn't even touch the books.
Percy: (Sit under water of an hour) " I wonder who is my Greek god parent?"
They also severely nerfed the master bolt. Also great review. This is one of the few channels that say how the book is different from the movie and why it's makes it not work. Though I kind of wish you went into more book/movie comparisons like removing the movie removing the entire "greek gods don't see their kids very often out of choice" and instead pinning it all on a law Zeus made. This removes a lot of the anger the demigods would have with the gods. All the movie doesn't show the sad child neglect in their world like monsters seeking out half bloods to kill and eat at early ages. I'm also surprised that you didn't point out that they Christianized the Underworld.
Logan Lerman was also in the 'Perks Of Being A Wallflower' adaptation, and I've heard he's great in that...
***** It was ok, he was ok in it too.
Yeah, he is really good in that.

Whoever saw the movie and not the book: What are you talking about?
Personally, I liked the switch to the Parthenon over the book's Gateway Arch. That is the one and only thing I liked about the movie. (Well, that and the change in Grover you mentioned.) The word "butchered" gets tossed around a lot in book/movie comparisons, but it definitely applies here. The book was so much better it is unreal.
The change in location could have worked, if they didn't write themselves such a massive plothole! XP
The Parthenon!? Subtle, not at all suggesting that the greek stuff into greek museums. In the book, the locations in greek mythology shift to modern places most like them, like the sea of monsters in the Bermuda Triangle.
I will only say that when they made the 2nd , I walked away crying from the theater ... in an action scene ... before the movie ended .
The second movie was just plain horrible. My mom was so annoyed when we left cause I was talking her ear off about how bad it was.
Sally names Percy after Perseus who apparently never had a bad ending....evidently she didnt read the part where Perseus got yeeted off of a cliff by Megapenthes.

Soon-ish. I will be back, don't worry ;). Thanks for asking.
21:30 You mean to tell me that this "16" year old can easily deflect lightning bolts shot from Zeus's MASTER BOLT, one of the most, if not THE most, powerful weapons on the Gods terms, as easily as if he was swatting a fly?
The reason Percy got this own cabin the book was because, since Zeus, Posiden, and Hades' kids were so powerful, they technically weren't allowed to sire anymore heroes, which made the Big-3 heroes rare.
If it were possible, I would like this video a thousand times. THANK. YOU.
God, my brother and I loved this book series, and for a while we were reading it together. So for his birthday, which was around when this movie came out, we went to see the movie together, thinking we would have a blast. And because it sucked, we wasted our time. But it's reviews like this that make me feel vindicated.

Apparently the director for the first film never read the book while the director of the second film did. For some reason, this one is closer despite the DIRECTOR never reading it! And I feel the same way with the film series. Espcially with the second film as my friends know how much I hate it!!
Hades technically SAVED percys mother, she would have died at the hands of the minitor, he was using her as leverage to get what he wanted, aka his helm.

The struggles Percy went through were nonexistient in the movie. Also there was time that went by before Percy went on his first quest. During that time it is critical in the books because it set up Percy seeing the camp as the home and place he always wanted to be.
He made key friendships, like Luke, and actually learned how to fight.
The directors seriously didn't read the books. There is no way someone reading those books could call this an adaptation of those masterpieces of storytelling.
