"Percy Jackson and the Thief of Fire" is entirely based on folklore and mythological legends, and the original novel comes from the best-selling American novelist Rick Riordan (Rick Riordan) Wrote the best-selling fantasy novel "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief".
After watching "Percy Jackson and the Fire Thief", I feel that "Percy Jackson and the Fire Thief" is in no way inferior to "Harry" Potter", I have the following reasons.
First, the source material is equally amazing. Rick Ridton, the author of the original novel, is the world's best-selling teenage book male author. The "Percy Jackson" series of novels is one of the best-selling juvenile novel series in the world today, ranking first in the New York Times list, Publisher's Weekly list, Amazon Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. First, the New York Times Best Book Award, the American Library Association Best Book Award, and more. From this point of view, it will not lose to the "Harry Potter" series of novels.
2. Defining the role is also special. In "Harry Potter", a group of teachers who teach magic and a group of students who learn magic are constructed, and a series of wonderful stories happened in the magic school. And "Percy Jackson and God Fire" "The Thief" is a story about the Greek gods and their struggle against evil with their children and mortals. The same magic, the same wonderful.
Third, the imagination space is equally wonderful, the "Harry Potter" in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is full of weirdness, and it can always give the audience unexpected strange things. In "Percy Jackson and the Thief of Fire", director Chris Columbus's bold fantasy innovated an eye-opening hell , gave the audience a perfect visual enjoyment.
Fourth, the director turned out to be the same person, the director of "Percy Jackson and the Thief of Fire" Chris Columbus turned out to be the director of the first "Harry Potter" series of "Harry Potter" movies. The director of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, so this has narrowed the gap between the two films.
Fifth, the box office is also amazing, "Percy Jackson and the Thief of Fire" has nearly 200 million, while "Harry The box office of each movie in the Potter series is also around 200 million.
Sixth, there is also a sequel. Currently, the second novel of the "Percy Jackson" series, "Percy Jackson and the Sea of Warcraft", is already under preparation. Director Chris Columbus expressed his hope that the "Percy Jackson" franchise will be as successful as the "Harry Potter" franchise, and there is no denying that "Percy Jackson and the Fire Thief" has been successful.
As Chinese grassroots movie fans, my ability to comment on movies is always limited, but I think "Percy Jackson" will be the next fantasy movie that is not inferior to "Harry Potter", and I'm looking forward to it!
