What's wrong with the Percy Jackson movie? A whole Hades of a lotta stuff, that's for sure! I'm on a 6-7 hour road trip to my grandparents' house, so what better to do than to make a list AS I watch the movie? :D (A new thing is on each line; there's too many to be going through and putting bullet points =P)
Well, I'm gonna start with the obvious ones before the movie even starts. 1. Percy has blue eyes 2. Annabeth has brown hair 3. Grover's black 4. Clarisse isn't even in the movie
Now for that list ;D
Poseidon isn't wearing a Hawaiian shirt
Poseidon has blue eyes
We didn't find out Percy was Poseidon's son before we knew him in the book...
Zeus isn't wearing a pinstripe suit (he did in the book, right...?)
Percy already knows he can hold his breath and/or can breathe underwater
There's a pool at Yancey
Grover isn't shy
Ms. Dodds is the English teacher
Yancey isn't a boarding school
Gabe decided it'd be brilliant to smack Sally's butt (he's not THAT stupid)
Grover has crutches 
Poseidon talked to Percy
The letters just magically flip around
Percy walked away from the group while inside to see Ms. Dodds
Grover was with Mr. Brunner when he gave him the pen
He didn't give him the pen to defeat Ms. Dodds
Grover is incredibly OOC
Mr. Brunne/Chiron gave Percy Riptide before he went to camp
Grover is with Percy when he went to his apartment
They didn't go to the beach house
Grover didn't lose his pants
The Minotaur isn't wearing underwear
There's a stupid arch and not Thalia's tree
They got to the top of the hill before the Minotaur attacked Sally
Grover isn't KO'd
Percy didn't jump on the Minotaur's back
There are other kids in the Big House
Annabeth isn't feeding Percy ambrosia
Grover is taking care of Percy
Percy didn't pass out a second time
Grover is giving Percy a tour of camp (these people really hate Percabeth)
Grover is still really OOC
The "cabins" look like gazebos
Annabeth looks like I thought Clarisse would...
Now that I think about it, Percy AND Annabeth don't look 12 (especially Annabeth)
CHIRON IS A FREAKIN' BROWN STALLION!!
Grover is a ladies man (no offense, but he's not in the books...)
Percy didn't get put in the Hermes cabin
There's a buncha random stuff already in the Poseidon "cabin"
The "cabin" doesn't have walls
Percy finds out he's son of Poseidon before capture the flag
They didn't have dinner before capture the flag
Annabeth and Percy are on different CTF teams
Luke asked for Percy to be on his team
Chiron didn't say that killing and maiming were against the rules
Percy wasn't put on border patrol
Annabeth attacked Percy
Athena is actually goddess of wisdom and WAR
Again, Annabeth doesn't look 12
There's a random voice talking to Percy
The water is getting Percy wet
Percy is using a magical weapon that he didn't have at this point in the book...
Logan did a really bad job of holding those swords still
Percy actually grabbed the flag
They're eating dinner after the game
Percy was invited to a party
Annabeth never told Percy that be drools when he sleeps
It isn't confirmed that he has blue cherry Coke
Hades came to the camp
Percy never went to the Oracle for a prophecy
There are no orange camp t-shirts
Annabeth is wayyyy too girly
They didn't leave for their quest in the morning
Luke has his own "cabin"
Luke has game systems
Luke stole the flying shoes
Luke gave Percy a map to the pearls
The map told them to go to Auntie M's Garden Gnome emporium
Luke gave Percy the shield
I will admit; it's funny that they play Highway to Hell :XD:
They go to AMGGE during the day
Annabeth found drachmas in the fountain
There's another person there
Percy uses an iPod to see Medusa's reflection
Percy is really stupid in this scene
Medusa's making a big deal about Percy's blue eyes
Annabeth and Grover found a truck
Percy didn't send Medusa's head to Mt Olympus
They never go to the Gateway Arch
They never talked to a pink poodle
They never take a zebra to Vegas (just thought I'd point these ones out ahead of time)
Percy is wet again
Percy never made a sexist comment when he asked who Annabeth's dad was
They're treating the gods' ways of talking people like they do in The Kane Chronicles
Sally changed her last name
Hadn't Annabeth said she'd met Athena?
They're using a computer to talk to Luke, not Iris Messaging
The flying shoes aren't possessed
Percy is just now finding out he can control water...
The news is talking about the storm that was in TLO...
The map told them to go to the Lotus Casino
It's an actual casino
There are a LOT of other people there
They never went up to their room
The lotus flowers are what make people wanna stay
What does Poker Face have to do with anything?
They're high
Again, they're high
No one finds Grover's satyr-ness odd
And Tik Tok makes any more sense than Poker Face? Come on, at least play Waking Up in Vegas! :XD:
I'll also admit; the French horn in this music sounds awesome :XD:
The entrance to the underworld is behind the Hollywood Sign
There's no waiting room
Percy never claimed that they died in a bathtub
Annabeth never played with Cerberus
They didn't walk through Persephone's garden...
The hellhounds are smaller than they were described in the books
They never went to Water World
Ares isn't in this movie
Percy doesn't have the backpack that should have the lightning bolt
Luke framed Percy as the lightning thief
The hellhounds aren't Newfoundlands...
Grover stays in the underworld
Percy never asked to go to the 600th floor of the Empire State Building
Percy battles Luke, not Ares
The shoes didn't try to drag anyone to Tartarus
Luke isn't already possessed by Kronos, yet he wants a war of the gods
Luke doesn't have a scar! How did I not see that before?!?
That fall didn't seem to even hurt Percy. Now that's just not even realistic
Percy killed Luke
The gods' thrones are all the same and have no personal touches
Zeus should have no control of bringing Grover back from the underworld
Poseidon left after Percy was born
Sally didn't use Medusa's head to kill Gabe herself
She never worked at a candy store either
Grover never wore a rasta hat
Where's Dionysus?
Chiron didn't initiate their quest
Why is Riptide sheathed? It's a PEN!
Annabeth's dagger in this last scene looks too long to be a dagger...
Oh! Credits! So let's see... The production manager was Wendy S. Williams, the unit production manager was Thomas M. Hammel, the 1st assistant director was Lars P. Winther, the 2nd assistant director was Misha M. Bukowski... Where's the director?!? Hold on a sec... One of the characters is called "Smart ass kid" :lmao: Yeah, never said who the director is...

Okay, now I'm watching the deleted scenes, AND THEY DELETED THE SCENE WHERE GROVER TALKS ABOUT THALIA!!!! FFFUUUU!!! 
What else did they delete that they shouldn't have...?
Nothing! Just other random crap!
Now I'm watching this thing about "the book coming alive"... Rick is explaining why Percy is named after Perseus... Of course he had to; it wasn't explained in the movie! (It was in the book...) Yeah, Rick just complimented the director... It sounded fake...

Anyway, now I'm done watching the movie, and I WAS gonna finally get to finishing TSoN, but now that I'm like 2 1/2 hours from home, I realized it's still in my backpack. Damn... Well, I guess I'll get crackalakin' on this oneshot I'm workin' on...
