The Lightning Thief

I think the movie the Lightning Thief was the worst movie I have ever saw. It had nothing to do with the book, it made no sense, and the whole plot of the book was different.

In the book a character named Percy Jackson plays 12 year old boy with ADHD and dyslexia. He has a hard life with a druggie as a step dad and only one friend to rely on. Until he finds out that his father is Poseidon and he’s a half blood meaning half god half human. Greek gods and animals are after him to reveille his true power. To keep safe Percy stays a camp were all Half Bloods go to keep from harm from the outside world. He teams up with his friend Grover and Annabeth to keep the world from having world war three. Percy’s journey leads him to meet his father Poseidon to. He has to receive the Zeus’s lightning bolt which was stolen. He finds out that the thief was one of his friends Luke. He was trying to start a war between all gods to ruin the real world. On there adventure Percy unlocks who he really is.

In the movie however the plot and quest is a whole new sequence. Percy plays a boy who tries to keep the world from ending. He still had to get Zeus’s lightning bolt back but the whole concept of how he did it was entirely different.

The movie was disappointing and they could of done a way better job of it.
