isn’t athena supposed to have blond hair to?

i think annabeths hair should not be brown i always pictured her as a blond and i am not changing her picture in my head becuse of this. i am alright with percys hair though, brown is closets to black. if it was blond then we would have a promblum.

i always pictured annabeths hair brown but thats just me and i also think that steve coogan will be a funny hades lol

omg i want thalia in this movie SO BAD.

get over it melanie and hold ur horses

annabeth’s character is way too old to play annabeth chase and her hair should be BLOND!!! the blond hair is all they ever talk about in the books! how could they take that out? its too bad that thalia is not in the movie, she was one of my favourite characters

anabeth is blond and grover has white skin

thalia apear at the third movie the final of the two and the rest

i reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaly hate thalia

everyone! if you haven’t figured out that they aren’t holding to the books wake up and smell the coffee! Despite the huge amounts of differences it still looks like it will be an amazing movie!

i cant wait any longer!

I do not like that they picked a dark hair’d girl to play Annabeth. That is like turning Ron Weasley from Harry Potter into a blond hair’d kid instead of a red head (like the books!).

It is pretty weird that annabeth isn’t blond.and some kid on a discussion site thought Grovers skin was black on the books.fail

Sorry about that.and, btw, Athena had blonde hair in bk.2 when Percy was sharing her thoughts when she was sqimming to the harpies

i love the books and if they dont do the movie right i dont think i want to watch it. the books give people a way to escape with thing only an idiot wouldn’t know anout. annabeth is a blond i was her for halloween and i wore a blond wig . again i say if they don’t do it right then i am not watching.

I am SO unhappy too! Why did they pick this girl for Annabeth? Shes supposed to be way younger AND she doesn’t seem anything like the Annabeth in my mind!

The age difference is crazy. In real life, Logan Lerman is 17, Alexandra Daddario is 23, and Brandon T. Jackson is 25!!!

As for Athena, the picture doesn’t make any sense, because in “The Lightning Thief” it says all the Athena kids have blonde hair, and in book 2″The Sea Of Monsters” when Percy sees Annabeth’s thoughts, it says Athena is blonde.

Okay, this movie isn’t going to be perfectly accurate. I can accept that. But what I can’t accept is that the movie makers can’t even get the basic facts right. Annabeth should be blonde. The book states it about a million times! How hard would it be to dye Alexandra’s hair? Besides that, why would they choose actors who are twice the ages of their characters? Is it really so hard to find actors who are 15, 16 tops? I don’t know how the director will pass them off as teenagers in the sequel(s).

I think annabeths hair should not be brown, and the person playing percy is NOT YOUNG ENOUGH. i really hope the movie is good.

dude this is not good. annabeth should have blonde hair.and in the trailer it shows annabeth and percy almost kising!! they dont kiss in the first book.!! and alexandra is 23! logan is 17! they might have to kiis!!!! but i do think that medusa’s actor is perfect for her.

In the book she has blonde hair. She should have it in the movie.

isnt percy suppose to have a celestial bronze sword

Why!?!?

And yet in the books they are all 12…weird!

i pictured anabeth with brown hair but if the book did say she had blond hair then who cares its just a simple mistake

oh well but just to say something she is a hotie =)

no Clarisse???!!

I can understand some creative license here …BUT SERIOUSLY they couldnt at least know how to count to 12 instead of 17,23,and 25. im just glad there is a movie and they got the grey eyes right . u would think it not too hard to dye some hair

Well in reality it is hard to find a (clean) blonde actress. No offfense to blondes though. And LAexandra might not want her hair blonde or maybe blonde doesn't look good on her. oh yeah, and Athena has black hair, she diguises herself for mortals. hope taht helped clear things. OH yeah plus it doesn't matter what color skin grover has as long as the actor portrays him well.

The entire cast is way to old to play 12 year olds, they look as if their going into senior highscool year. They should also make danny de vito play dionysus

seriously what did you expect?? this is a MOVIE!! they dont ever do the movies right!! i mean look at some classic books/movies lord of the rings? twilight? if you want a movie that is prefect to the book then you wont find one. the reason books are so good is bc you can imagine them any way you want weather annabeth has blond hair or brown hair. if they make a movie the way THEY imagine it! so obviously it wont match up with YOUR imagination.

they don't want to seem like a "Racist" movie, probably

I'm not sure. I've always imagined her with black hair.

I don't care what color hair or how old they are, i loved the series and i'm going to see the movie, it looks GREAT!

I.P Freely, i totaly agree with you

Plus whocares what color hair, just act like its the color hair you imagined

So, like everyone is saying, Annabeth is supposed to be blonde, and WAY younger, and I agree 100% Well, everyone is supposed to be younger. It makes me mad just like everyone else. But you know what gets on my nerves the most?!?! When a producer doesn't follow the book with little details like you know how Percy is given a ball point pen and he uncaps it to make it the Riptide? Well, now they are making it a clicker. I mean DO YOU EVEN READ THE BOOK PRODUCER PEOPLE?!?!? But you know what? Me and my sisters make movies and after we finish school we will turn all the crappy movies into good ones. No need to thank us, its what we do. MY SIS WILL BE THE NEXT STEVEN SPIELBURG!!! (haha idk if I even spelled his mane right)

name, i mean haha

i think i'm the only person that thinks this, but I think Annabeth is perfectly fine except for the fact that she's 23. Then again, that's my opinion.

trust me people the book series is better than the movie because the movie leaves out the most important details of the characters. ( and FYI i like all the characters )

I think Alexandra Daddario will be pretty good in the movie. I love her! My biggest thing is the age thing. But you people have to remember that Alexandra is already cast! There is nothing you can do about it. I really don't like how Percy has Tyson's shield already. And Percy and Annabeth kiss? What is that?!!!

ok PEOPLE we all know that the movie and books are going to be WAAAY different; even Logan and Chris Columbus said so.
the books and movies r different medias, and Chris will interpret the book differently. Haven't you ever wanted to change something in a book?
no matter what, the movie looks amazing, and we should support it, the cast and crew, and Rick Riordan by watching the movie! (plus if they dont get positive feedback or enuff sales, they aren't making a second movie >.< AND I WANT A SECOND MOVIE :])

no annabeth got it from her dad

me too

ya

and grover should be white

wwwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyy!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Terrible disappointment. Has very little to do with the book. We were stunned and heartbroken.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

this movie is all wrong they should be 12 not how they look. annabeth should be blond. grover should be white. percy should have black hair. the hydra should not be there until movie 2 along
with tysons sheild!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Well, a goddess can change her looks, can't she?

athena in myths, legends and the books had dark hair. i also think that the age diffrence is to wide compared to the book and that annabeth should have blonde hair. they made the same mistake with eragon, they made him blonde when he actually had brown hair!

You can't pass a 25, 17, and 23 year old for 6th grade… it just doesn't work

There is an African American in every movie, but I agree to, they should have at least tried to find a blond.

I don't like how the director changed the ages of Percy, in the book he's 12, but in the movie he's 17.

don't think im stupid or anything but the first time i read the books i pictured annabeth a brunette! and besides alexandra is perfect for the part!!!!

i hated that it didnt follow the book

it is okay.
the movie did not turn out bad.
sure many the characters were wayy different, but hey the theatre was packed regardless.
percy ended up being amazin and annabeth was fine even though she didnt have blonde hair . grover was so funny and actually awesome!
i really didnt care about the looks of them
BUT WHY WAS THE MOVIE SO DIFFERENT THAN THE BOOK!?!!!
now in the second movie they will have to introduce thalia and Kronus, Annabeth's invisible hat ( which is vital for many scenes in the next books) etc., etc.,

it was sorta dissapointing cuz these r my fave books of all time.
i just hope the next ones will be right on the sea of monsters and the missed info tht is essential is added in also so the 3rd 4th nd 5th movies will be great.

wooah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! are you serious; why did they pick such old people to play annabeth and grover but logan lerman is okay because hes only like 17

you guys are all wierd just being mad about the charactors; it's the persons fault who put them in there and i think all the charactors in the movie i think match it;

It's okay, Thalia is supposed to come at the very end of the Sea of Monsters, which (I hope) they will make a movie on it soon.

idk

I think it's okay that Annabeth's hair is brown.

yeah in the book annabeth has curly blonde hair, but in the movie she has STRAIGHT BROWN hair. What is up with dat?!?!?!?!?!?

dudes i agree with jessica the movie directors (weird ppl) probably didnt even care to read the book be4 they made the movie. i mean COME ON!!!! they mention things a million in the book and they dont even show it in the MOVIE

I agree, it could've been more like the book. If it was, it'd probably be a better movie.

(In the movie, they weren't almost kissing…)

Yeah, it shouldn't be too much of a big deal. Look on the bright side, she still has gray eyes!

Totally agree!!

Yep!!! You're right!!

No, there are some other people who are with you and don't mind Annabeth having brown hair. That's how I am. I don't mind Annabeth having brown hair, I just think she's a little old…

I think the books are always better than the movies.

Um… it's not Tyson's shield, Luke gave it to him (and note that this is only in the movie, so it's different from the book). And Percy and Annabeth don't kiss yet…

I am totally with both of you!! (for come on ppl! and Percy Jackson Movies) We should all still support it because, of course, it's not going to be perfectly accurate with the book. It's still a great movie, though!! I'm glad it's doing great, because I would like for them to make a second movie, too!!

omg!!! alexandra is 23?? ok that is old compared to logan! logan is ssoo cute though! and anyway percy and annabeth kiss in the 4th book and go crazy for each other in the last.

this is my fave series and im ssoo sad its over!! and i mean the movie was really good like as a normal movie but if u read the book i mean the book could be soo much better!!!!!

people we get it annabeth dosnt have blonde hair move on

I hate how the movie isen't the same as the book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don;t think I like the movie maker!!! They should soooooooooooooooooooooooooo re-do the movie!!!!! They got evreything wrong in the movie. I hate this!!!!!!

In the movie chiron is a brown stallion, he's suposed to be WHITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The movie was pretty bad if you read the books, but my friend (who didn't read the book) said it was a really good movie. I think otherwise but it's just my opinion. In the movie the whole motive was changed.
