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

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.

The entire movie sucks. Annabeth was completey different in the book series. Grover was even more different in the series. They did okay on Percy, but still. Also, where in Aresses name was Clarisse. And could hurt to keep the story line at least 75% the same. If any of the actors meet me in a dark alley there gonna wish they were never born. ;(

P.S. There is a 6th book YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

P.P.S. If they make a 2nd movie I will make sure they don't live.

humpdy fucker sat on a wall humpdy fucker had a great fall every fuckin buisenes man sewed him because he was to fuckin raw so never sin on a fuckin wall again

fuck!

hello

he does!!!!!!

yes excatly thank you

no she dosent have to

theres a 6th book????

FYI, they don't kiss in the movie…. *spoiler* basically it's a ploy by Annabeth when swordfighting Percy. OK?
And I've read the books and I'm disappointed that they left Thalia out….but if you focus on the movie itself, and not all the little flaws, it was pretty good. The acting was good, they obviously tried to stay close to the actual plot…etc. Besides, you have to think about the odds. How likely is it that the casting director is going to find a blonde with light gray eyes that can still act???
And I don't think Alexandria would look that great with blonde hair. just saying.

Yes! Annabeth is suppose to have blond hair. However, that is not what destroyed the movie. The movie isn't like th book at all. Sad!!! So much was left out and the producers/directors took way too many liberties in changing the events. Although the movie was entertaining, it does not go by the book. Weak story line altogether. I pray the producers/directors will take that into consideration when doing the sequals. If you're going to base a movie on a book, then by golly stay with the book. It's can't be that difficult in this day and age of technology.

They cast people based on how well they did the part not if they matched the character. Plus since the author wasn't in the movie contract they can't have the movie based to closely to the book without giving the author half the profit. Just thought I'd voice my opinion.

brown hair is not ugly and more famous people have brown hair athena already had brown hair in the movie anabeth has brown hair she should in the book too

i love the books to

i agree! seriously! if they want to make movies for the rest of the book then they should stick to the basic facts! in the last book Percy is supposed to be 16! how is he supposed to turn 16 4 years later (4 books later) if he looks older than 16 in the first movie. ANNABETH AND PERCY ARE ONLY SUPPOSED TO BE 12 IN THE FIRST MOVIE! GOODNESS!!!

stop dissen the movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it rocked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the book, The Lightning Theif, It describes annabeth as BLONDE! Athena (annabeth's mother) is blonde too. She doesn't match the image the book gives. I also think the movie is waaaaaay to different from the book. I also think that the actors and actresses are too old!!! In the first book annabeth and percy are 12!!! Logan Lerman is really 16 or 18 or something and annabeth is like 22!!!!

They made the actors older becoz they didnt think 12,13 yearolds were up to the job btw im 12 and i know i could do it also look at harry potter they were like 7 in the first movie of that!

i thought brandon t jackson was hilarious but i agree tht annabeth needs blond hair and so does her mom. and i hope they make another movie it was so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The movie was pretty disappointing, Annabeth is supposed to have blond hair, Grover is supposed to have white skin and be geeky, Percy looks too old to play Percy, and they had the wrong lightning thief, the lightning thief is supposed to be Ares.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhnhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!Percy!!! You rule!

Thalia doesn't appear until book 2, not 1.

And they made the characters older than berfore to apeal to older adiances

hey people i agree with all of you they should have everyone but still
the people worked hard give them a chance

in the book Grover is supposed to have the shoes and they missed a whole chunk of the book

they missed out alot of the book like when they were with ares and hephaetisus and they didn't show the end part with luke and the scorpion

i agree they should have a new director

yeah i cant wait till the nxt film

Hey Everyone! Go to this website it say pretty much all of the differences from the book to the movie! http://percyjackson.wikia.com/wiki/Percy_Jackson_...

i think that annabeth should have blond hair

i think that maybe if thalia were like annabeth it would have been cool oif she had ended up with percy because it htye had a kid it would be like zeuz and poseidon, half human, half god, 1 fourth poseidon, 1 fourth zeuz , the kid ould be really powerful…..

i love logan lerman as percy, but i think that they should've gotten someone who is younger for annabeth (and with blond hait). No offense to Alexandra, she is an amazing actress.

that would be sick and I cant wait for the new series to come out

The movie was good but i do agree that grover should be white and so should chirons horse body … and anabeth should have had blond curly hair … the cabins werent in that U shape either … but other than that it was a good movie … and now im excited to hear they are having a 6th book

they didnt even show thalias tree!!!!!!!

well i mean i didnt have a problem with the grover thing but the annabeth thing was sooooo screwed up!!!!!! i mean like really??? they couldnt have found a blonde actress????????

well they dont really mention it at all in the books. unlike annabeths hair and eye color

and annabeth doesnt tell him about her feelings for him until the last book. idiots. jeez.

I love the books, I’ve read them all. I was so excited when the movei was anounced but my excitement turned to disappointment after viewing it. The obvious changes of the ages make no sense. Percy is 17, kinda defeats the purpouse of the series – the great prophecy states that when the next child of the big three turns 16 – but he’s already older in the movie. Pointless. I personally have always pictured Annabeth as a brunette and Grover as black but the main thing that bugs me is the age difference. I want more movies but something has do be done to atleast make them look younger. Rick Riordan can’t be happy with the purpose of his most famous book series being destroyed in one movei because the casting directors can’t pick actors that are 12 – 14! Even so the movie was good just that part that bothered me.

I think Luke and Percy r Soooooooooooo cute in the movie.I also think in the last olympian, that Luke Looooooved annabeth too! (along with Percy).

Yay, but I looooooved the movie, and currently own it! Percy and Luke r sooooooo cute! my fav. book was the last olympian, its sooooooo romantic. its like me and my boyfriend, he's either luke or percy, and im annabeth!!! (annabeth+percy) (annabeth+Luke)

j'écrie c'ette l'étre pour te dire j'aime trés foure bizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Wait.
There’s a 6 th book!!
Omg!! You’ve got to be kidding
Me!! If it’s true, of course. He he

stupid……….what a waste of time and effort for a movie. i mean i know you cant do EVERYTHING exactly like the book, but that is the people who made the movie are too lazy to read the stinking book to figure out what the characters are supposed to look like and how they act. like i said, what a waste of time. and i wish i could get my 7 dollars back for watching this disgusting crap they call a movie.

dumb if your gonna make a movie off of an AMAZING BOOK, then you should read the freaking books to figure out how they look. man movie directors are so freaking stupid if you all went to school then dont you understand you should research before a huge project?!?!

I think that annbeth is NOT and will NEVER be brown haired, Grovers skin isnt black and he donts hasve that muscle couse in the book it says that he was kinda um well you know feeble and all the actors are to old. What did they think, that they wouldent make a 2d 3d 4th and 5th movie. And I they they change a LOT the argument of the story. Making as if they wouldnt continuethe 5 books.
Finally y think that they should not have started the movie if it would create all this confusion and it would keep our minds with our image of each character so that the imagination doesnt goes of to the opposite of thebooke just because of a film.

How about Bianca???

why in the movie, is Medusa emo/Gothic looking? i like the books better than the movies…

hey lay off alexandra she is so HOTI MEAN IT (Growls)

i am with you people should just acept that she's super hot

i am with ya

can i be percy i am 11.maybe

thank you i think she's totaly hot with brown hair i mean really imagine what she would look like with blond hair e-mail me

me too

I know!!!I mean honestly, the director(or script writer, I don't know who!!!) could have changed the names of the characters (and a few places *cough* Camp*cough*) and had a movie that gave a few "ideas" to the director!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Otherwise,it would have been a decent movie to watch.That is, if you accomplished the HUGE feat of ignoring the MANY faults in the (now((curse that stupid director!!!!!!!))) stupid movie!

I agree!

Yea, they could at lest give a bit of her story.But because it was in the book, they must have thought "Oh I have a plan!! Lets ignore lots of small details, so we cane drive all the REAL Percy Jackson fans INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *evil laugh*" or something like that I hope they DIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And the stupid sword is a CAAAAAAAAP PEEEEEEEN!!!!!!!!!(not an extremely ugly((& expensive)) push pen, I mean how confusing is that?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Which(if you need reminding) he didn't!!!!! Grover IS NOT & I REPEAT NOT A LADY'S MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(I am sorry, 'cause there's only so much caps can do. Imagine the maddest voice you've ever heard saying that HE NEVER KISSED OR HUGGED ANY GIRL!!!!!!!!!
