Percy Jackson (was Re:New DH article (major spoiler if you haven't read the book!))

Charlotte:
"Speaking of which, I went to see Percy Jackson and The 
Olympians' The Lightning Thief a couple weeks ago, and 
it's an awesome movie!  Way better than the reviewers 
made it out to be, since they overcompared it in terms 
of the next Harry Potter.  Now I really want to read 
the books."


Robin:
It was a great action movie, but if like me, you'd read 
the books first you'd be highly disappointed.  TLT had 
at least 3 characters (that I can recall) that were cut 
from the film which could, like the HP series, cause 
loads of problem if they continue to film the rest of 
the series.  Also, Hades is altered from the book as 
well.  I work at a theater part-time and I've listened 
to many students complain that the movie was not the 
book they read.
