I didn't know that this drama was so unbearable in the eyes of so many people. I don't even think this show is that bad.
When I watched this movie before, I thought it was just an ordinary adventure movie. After watching it, I realized that it was related to Greek mythology. The only thing that was uncomfortable was why Annabeth was not the first to wake up in the hotel lotus, and her mother was the goddess of wisdom. It's time for her to make a difference.
The background of this drama is very modern, including when Medusa came out, I exclaimed why she looked like lady gaga. Later, when the poker face came out at the hotel lotus, I was even more overjoyed. This director really knows how to keep up with the times.
The story makes sense, because in the end Luke is the culprit. The reason is that his father is the god of thieves, and of course he has a little talent for thieves, or the nature of thieves.
This is the view of the movie, it is relatively short, after all, it is quite long. Writing a review now, purely to tell the average person that this drama isn't so bad.
Now, I will give some opinions after watching the movie first, and then after reading the five books of the original story a year later.
The movie and the book's story are a lot different.
Here, Lei Wen, I hope that if you want to read the original work, don't read the following comments first.
Let me start by saying that the book is definitely worth more than 8 points.
According to the story of the original book, the movie is missing a few important characters and a few important narratives.
First of all, this play does not describe the camp of half-blood, and there are some places in it that need to be paved.
Didn't the movie say that they were playing capture the flag from the beginning? The real story in the book is that Luke, Annabeth and Percy are on the same team, and they fight against Clarisse, the daughter of Ares, the god of war. competition.
As for Grover (sheep man), he is the guardian of percy in the mission, that is, the god of the system of Pan (the god who manages all things in nature in Greek mythology).
They set off after being blessed and affirmed by the prophecy, not secretly as in the movie. The whole journey is to ask Hades in the underworld, after all, if Lightning disappears, there will be a war, and it will be a disaster, because there is a language that says Zeus, Poseidon and Hades can't have children, if there is, it will be To decide the outcome of a future war, Zeus suspects poseidon's children stealing his things, while Percy guesses that Hades may be sowing discord.
Of course, Luke still gave him that pair of shoes.
The whole journey is not about finding any beads. Just set off on the road to the underworld.
Did meet Medusa, but not so beautiful, but an aunt. Instead of taking Medusa's head, they sent her head to Olympus to show their dissatisfaction with their parents.
They also didn't encounter Hydra in that museum (it was only in the second installment), but a strange aunt and a lion monster.
Went to Hotel Lotus, but instead of fighting, he fled heavily. (It was also related to Percy's own awakening, which made me a little disappointed.)
Finally, I met a god - Ares (God of War), who played a key role, he gave Percy a 'life-saving backpack' and asked him to take it with him Go to hell.
The result finally came to the underworld and met Hades. In the process, flying shoes almost killed him, but in the end it was fine.
After that, it was very different from the movie. Hades in the movie wanted that Lightning and wanted to start a war, but Hades in the book was much more humorous and aggrieved. He said that he didn’t want to conquer the world. He couldn't get through, he couldn't finish it, he just wanted to get back his helmet (Hades' fetish invisible helmet, which is what Nemesis wanted to take with Percy in the first place, wasn't Lightning.). At this moment, he discovered that there was lightning in the backpack, which was the backpack given to him by the God of War. Percy was just beginning to understand that someone was really trying to sow discord and start a war. He took out three beads, and everyone was scrambling to stay, but Percy decided that none of them could stay. He knew that his mother would not let him do this and abandon his friends, so the last one left was his mother.
After leaving the underworld, they found the God of War, and only then did they know that the temper of the God of War was to cause war. Anyway, after some entanglement, Percy finally took back the invisible helmet and gave it to the Nemesis. The next step is to return Lightning to Olympus.
Back at the summer camp, it was only in the last few days that Luke was the one who stole the lightning and the helmet. He convinced the God of War to also participate. Wake up the Titans to rule the world. That said, there's no such thing as a big fight between Luke and Percy (the pump fight).
In the end Luke was fine, but ran away. The five books, the entire series, revolve around the struggles, conspiracies, family, friendship, and human nature of the Titans and Olympians.
It can only be said that the movie is a gimmick, and the story of the book is very smooth.
Since the story of this movie and the book is somewhat different, I really don't know how to make the second movie. After all, there are some key points and foreshadowings, this movie didn't mention it, or even changed it.
But overall, the book's story is good.
Some people criticize purely Greek gods and American heroism. I think this kind of criticism is very subjective. After all, Greek mythology is just like that. To combine ancient mythology with modern civilization, I think it requires a lot of skill and also needs A lot of consideration, a lot of courage, to know that some stories in Greek mythology are contradictory, but the author can write so smoothly, it is really good.
Indeed, this story was written by my father for the children, and the production process is similar to that of Harry Potter, but the story is relatively sunny, and there is no dark background. Although the novel still mentions some dark human nature, at least the film packaging Well done, at least some of the parts made me laugh.
As for the story of the book, as I said, it is very different from the plot of the movie, and even the Percy mentioned in the book is a child with crooked teeth and not handsome. So, I would like people who comment on this drama to take care not to confuse it with the original novel, thinking that the novel is nothing more than that.
As for why someone mentions why Percy does Perseus repeatedly (showdown with Medusa or something), basically after reading the original novel, you will understand, but if you want to know, let me tell you, in fact, Percy does all the mixed-race things things, including Jason, etc., he will encounter the gods and monsters they have encountered.
Also, don't say that this story is very general, at least I think the Harry Potter and Twilight series can be written by anyone with a little sense, but Percy Jackson must have a wealth of knowledge of Greek mythology to write it.
