Second “Percy Jackson” Film Officially Moving Ahead, Receives an Official Release Date!

Percy Jackson fans will be happy to know that the demigod from Camp Half-Blood will be returning to theaters in Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters — and we’ve got an official release date!

Rumors have been swirling around the fate of the Percy Jackson series in theaters after the release of the first movie, Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, didn’t perform as well as some had hoped. However, word hit earlier this year that the second film had been licensed and was proceeding into pre-production. The movie studio behind the flick, 20th Century Fox, has finally announced an expected release date for the second film in the five-film series: March 27, 2013.

The release date news may come as a shock to some fans, as the film had been rumored to have a 2012 release date for some time. However, March isn’t too far into 2013 — and with the movie still in pre-production, it’d be quite a push to get the film into theaters any time before 2013.

Logan Lerman is set to reprise his role as Percy — but that’s about all we know of the film’s cast and crew so far. The first film’s director, Chris Columbus (of Harry Potter fame), is unconfirmed for the second flick.

Need a reminder on what the second Percy Jackson book/film is all about? Take a gander:

Percy Jackson’s second grade year has been surprisingly quiet. Not a single monster has set foot on his New York prep-school campus. But when an innocent game of dodgeball among Percy and his classmates turns into a death match against an ugly gang of cannibal giants, things get… well, ugly. And the unexpected arrival of Percy’s friend Annabeth brings more bad news: the magical borders that protect Camp Half-Blood have been poisoned by a mysterious enemy, and unless a cure is found, the only safe haven for demigods will be destroyed.

Fans of the book series have been worried about future Percy films for a while, ever since discovering the substantial plot changes in the first movie. Do you think they can continue on with the series given what they left out or changed in the first film? Are you still excited for the second film?

    they should not have made this movie…the first one was a complete diesastor. I don’t know how they are going to redeem themselves with this one…

    • Horsegal4ever

      I don’t think it was a complete disaster. It wasn’t strong to the plot, but it wasn’t completely horrible like the Eragon movie. they’re only having 3 films though, and there are 4 books left to put into movie form, so they’re going to have to combine the books somehow to get it all the way to the end of the storyline. Over a year?!?! It’s been nearly a year since the last one came out! Can’t they have begun work on it earlier? Sad . . .

      • Alexis

        It as a stand alone would have been alot better but because it was based on a book people want to compare it with eragon movie. I think that’s stupid. It was a really good film. Not oscar worthy but pretty good.

        • DragonsAreAwesome

          It only would seem good if it wasn’t based on a book but since it is and they did a terrible job of it, it will be compared to other movies that failed.  Fans of the book, like me, are horrified at how they portrayed the book.  The overall idea wasn’t theirs, it was the authors so a viewer has to look at it in comparison to the book and therefore it sucked.  ALOT.

          • Anonymous

            You just wrote exactly what I was thinking. Not trying to be harsh, but I thought the first movie was pretty disappointing, and *me being a HUGE rick riordan fan*, I couldnt help judging it by the book. Annabeth had brown hair. The storyline went offtrack, on track, and offtrack again. It was still pretty good, but only if you hadn’t read the book.

          • Secura

            Not to mention that Percy was already 16. Whoops! There goes the Great Prophecy and the rest of the series’ plot.

          • Anonymous

            ;) good call.

          • Oh My Godz

            And in the first movie there was an abcence of:
            -Ares 
            -Clairisse
            -THE ORACAL
            -PAN!!!!!!!!!!

            D; theres no way they can do the sea of monsters without them *sobs again*

          • therealpercyfan

            it just needs to be redone with 12 year olds because the hole plot revolves around his 16 birthday

          • Abby

            you just read my mind.

          • Selena Daniels

            yeah i know right? Annabeth is suppoed to be blonde! What wasn’t there a nice blonde girl who tried out for the movie? But I did enjoy it though. Even though Percy is already 16 in this movie!!

          • Curatrix

            good point, but you know whats really funny? alexandra daddario’s hair was died purple before filming, and after getting the part she died it to her natural color. why not go blonde? she had lovely light eyes and would look nice blonde

          • Curatrix

            yeah, my friend saw it and hadn’t read the book, and had no idea what was going on, but loved it. wasnt bad as a movie NOT based on a book. but that makes allt he difference

          • Alyx

             As I told my brother, “As a ripoff of the books, (well, it’s so far off…) yeah, good job. Nice movie. As an adaption BOOOO!!!!”

      • BlazingAngel665

        eragon movie still gives me nightmares *shivers*

        • Elphiebelphie

           i feel your pain.

      • Secura

        It was way worse than Eragon.

        • Selena Daniels

          it wasn’t that bad, it was actually pretty good. If you hadn’t read the book, then you might actually like it. I have read the book but i still liked it. Not to mention, Logan Lerman is soo hot!

          • Alyxia

             Yes, the male lead being attractive is always a main reason to like something.
            Not.
            Look, I wanted an adaption from page to screen. Not perfect, but still accurate. This… thing is going to have so many plot holes by the end that I’m going to rip my hair out. ALL of my hair. And I have a LOT of hair.

        • Elphiebelphie

           i don’t think that you can get worse than eragon.

    • Devanshiupatel

      Who cares, I though the movie was great and watched many
      times over!!!! There r still fans out there and they want more.

    • Prakruthirao96

      totally agree with you, man. i frickin dedicated my whole life, 2006 onwards, to percy jackson nd his epic-ness, was really looking forward to the movie, but they. . . sniff
      dunno how they’re going to massacre the 2nd story :’(

  • Maekyn

    How are they going to continue it? They totally left out Kronos! He’s the true enemy during all the books. In the movie, they made it Hades, like Chiron had suspected. They took the obvious route and changed the storyline too much for a second movie. The movie wasn’t bad, but I don’t see how they can continue.

    • Anonymous

      They didn’t include Kronos in the first film because it was not guaranteed that it would do well enough to warrant continuing the movie series. Kronos as a villain does very little and isn’t defeated by the end of Book 1, so his inclusion would have made the movie’s plot more complicated to those who hadn’t read the book. They could easily have this movie retroactively explain Luke’s actions in the first film as being done under the orders of Kronos.

  • Tyler H

    Yeah, I’m not sure how they will play into this movie from the first one. Since Luke got defeated in the first movie, and they left out Kronos (which is kind of a big deal). Maybe they will just correct their error by a short back story in the beginning talking how Luke somehow escaped and hooked up with Kronos. :D I am always hopeful, especially for this series because the books are phenomenal.

    • cool??

      yeah

  • Jinx

    Hell no. I hated the first movie. It was terrible for the true fans. TERRIBLE. Logan Lerman is just bad, the girl who played Annabeth is totally wrong, and the guy who was Grover was funny, but still wrong. They’ve screwed it up completely, and nothing is gonna make it better.

    • HushHushFallen1

      Um excuse me bit Logan is AMAZING… And so what if she had brown hair? She was still pretty good and Grover was perfect for his part…. And the movie was good I am obsessed wīh the books by it doesn’t mean I’m gonna hate on the movie.. It was really good and I know a lot of the things were messed up but they can fix it somehow… It’s Hollywood… K bye.

      • Muffin Underwood

        Thank you! I don’t know why everyone is dissing on the movie! It was actually good! And, not to mention, Logan Lerman is HOT!!!! Yeah maybe he was too old, and maybe Annabeth hed brown hair, but it was still good! Annabeth can die her hair blonde!

  • Emeric

    Woah, yeah. Logan Lerman as the star. No Kronos. You know what I think? OMG THEY SHOULD REALLY CONTINUE WITH THIS SERIES!!!

    Not.

    • Alyx

       You just read my very sarcastic mind.

  • DragonsAreAwesome

    Obviously the movie sucked in comparison to the book.  No base plot.  Bad casting.  And why the heck is Percy carry a trident???  Ya, he is the son of Poseiden but it’s not like he gets the official trident to go with his title.  He’s not the sea god (or maybe the producers will throw it in to ruin the plot even more).

  • Emily Sasaki

    I hated the movie. H-A-T-E-D. With a fiery passion. And now they’re continuing this failure… wow. the first movie was almost as bad as the Eragon sequel. Same problem; It did not relate to the story at all. But it would have been good as a stand alone… Please spare our ears. The second book of the Lost Hero “The Son of Neptune” released and I WANT MORE!!! Fabbo book and anyone who hasn’t read the series should because it’s absolutely amazing. Almost as good as the Inheritance series…

    • Anonymous

      The Son of Neptune was amazing, I agree and I hated that it ended with such a cliff hanger. But, it’s still not as good as the inheritance cycle, close though. Rick Riordan wrote it in such a way that I WANT MORE TOO! I’m so excited for the Mark of Athena next October. Go Percy!!

    • Braxtonb

      What do you mean Eragon sequel?

      • Goldilocks Gamgee

        I think she means Eragon, the movie version. 

    • Elf Knight

      No offence, but the Percy Jackson series is WAY better than the Eragon one. While I do like the latter to some extent, it will never be half so good as Percy Jackson.

      • Adivenk

        wait r u saying u like eragon better than percy or percy better than eragon lol. coz its kinda confusing  

      • Jwelde

        nah. just nah.

  • http://www.youtube.com/swordebrithil12 Swordebrithil12

    Rick Riordan is working with them guys. He probably wouldn’t have allowed this if he thought it would screw up the series even more; it’s probably harder for the author than it is for the fans. They can still keep going, but they have to be extremely careful and add everything else in.

    • http://www.facebook.com/sean.l.mcdermott Sean Lee McDermott

      actually he cant even bring himself to watch the films. he sold the rights to the books back before the book even got released to help boost popularity of the book, but he has very little say in the movie plot. he even said, its like selling your house to someone and trying to set a load of restrictions so they dont change anything. once the rights are sold, he cant stop them changing it.

  • http://twitter.com/DarkenedLight Zach Kliger

    They would have to renege and retcon several decisions made in the first movie if they wanted it to be successful, but it may be too late for that since fans of the first movie will complain if they cast a new line of characters and make sweeping plot changes.

    I still think the actors are too old. I know that it’s hard to find decent actors in the 12-14 range, I get that. But at the very least you could script them and make them look somewhat like the characters in the novel.

    These are all very superfluous concerns to most people though, if I had to guess. Movies rarely do the novel justice and this is just another example of that. Best of luck to them, I hope they end up with a great product. As others have said, it was by no means a trainwreck like the Eragon film and they were at least able to put on a nice production even if it lacked a true representative quality and a decent stand-alone plot.

  • Becky L

    Ugh…how will they fix this? Again like everyone below has stated, they left out Kronos and the girl who is Annabeth is completely wrong for the part. Also I don’t really like Logan Lerman as Percy, especially since Percy is supposed to be 12. And they ruined so much of the plot when they said ‘oh gods can’t talk to their kids’…

  • Night Angel Kage

    No. The first movie failed hard. I wish they wouldn’t continue because they are going to screw it up again. I hate to see one of my favorite series of books be messed up by people who have no idea what they are doing.

    Keep the plot to the book, or don’t make it at all.

    /end rant

  • Aplussoccerkid

    CANNOT WAIT!!!

  • Elf Knight

    I really like the books but the movie was awful and the cover of this one looks even worse! Percy looks like a girl in this picture and they totally killed Annabeth’s character in the movie making her your typical Mary Sue! *grr* Hopefully, they learned from their mistakes in the past film and  can move on to better things in this one. Oh, well! We can only hope…

    • Anonymous

      And maybe this time they’ll give annabeth blonde hair. *hopeful*

    • gp

       move was awesome. and I am really looking forward to the second movie, I couldnt wait for the second movie after seeing the lightening theif just like I wish they wouldl make a sequal to Eragon (that was an amazing movie).  Annabeth’s actress did an awesome job, you dont know what your talking about…your all crazy. I was the first in line to buy that movie when it came out.

  • Anonymous

    I think that if they are to release a second film, they should remake the first into something good, something that people want more of. I don’t think many rick riordan fans would want to go see something that they think will be a disappointment. If they don’t do something with the first.. Oh well… The second one had better be brilliant. I love rick riordan, and I want the series to be portrayed properly.

  • Connor

    At least they were smart enough not to make Eldest into a movie. Reboots are the answer people. 

  • Firesword

     i bet this movie will suck too considering how bad they messed up the first one. They shouldn’t bother unless they actually had the heart to enjoy the books. They will destroy the whole point of the books, actually they already did. They forgot a maaaajor part. where’s Kronos he’s like the point there’s all that action. They didn’t even mention thalia. And for your information Eragon is sooo much better than Percy Jackson will ever be. I’m not looking forward to this new percy jackson movie. I’ll go with, but only with extra popcorn to throw at the screen.

  • Anonymous

         I am an extreme Percy Jackson fan. With that said, some of the comments here seem to be to kind of grossly exaggerated. The first Percy Jackson movie wasn’t -that- bad.
         Yes, they left out Kronos. That’s because it would be difficult to include a background villain (which was all Kronos was in Book 1) in a movie that they weren’t sure would be profitable enough to continue the series. That isn’t such a big deal.
         Maybe my memory of the movie is a little fuzzy, but I don’t remember Luke coming out and screaming, “I am definitely not serving any greater evil, yep, just working by myself here, absolutely no chance for a superior to be introduced later on in what is admittedly a pretty common plot device!” It will help build tension if in the second film it is revealed that Luke was by far not the worst enemy they are dealing with.
         Now, I understand that that is not the only discrepancy, but really, most of the core stuff is there. Now, don’t get me wrong. I still think that the movie could have been infinitely better if it had followed the book more closely. But after suffering through the abomination that is the Eragon movie, all of my expectations for any movie based on a book I’ve read dropped to near zero levels, so maybe that’s why I wasn’t so disappointed with this one. I am looking forward to seeing what they do with this second movie.

    • Secura

      They basically threw the Great Prophecy out the window though and that’s a huge part of the series. Percy was 16 in the first movie. Annabeth’s actor was what 23 years old? Sorry, my memory is a little fuzzy on that part so I might be exaggerating a little but I’m pretty sure I’m remembering correctly (even if she wasn’t, she looked it). That’s a far cry from 12.

      • bella ♥ vita

        All of the actors are in their 20′s lol. The other countless screw-ups might have almost been forgivable, but aging the characters as much as they did absolutely destroyed the story. One of the overall worst movie castings ever. If Logan Lerman were British I’d actually say he would’ve made a great Eragon. He fits my mental image of Eragon really well. Riordan’s books always put me in the best mood, but even thinking about the movie makes me depressed.

      • Curatrix

        annabeth’s actress is 26 as of april 2012.

      • kk

        The dialogue wahs really bad i mean really bad…it was just akward.

  • EagleH2Ofall

    It was good.
    But yes they changed too many things, and we all know that if you reprise a movie in the middle of a        series and it’s much different for better of for worse, it’s a little wierd.

  • Secura

    This sucks.

  • Dragon obsessed

    I am so conflicted about this!! on one hand I really liked the first movie if it is not compared to the book, but I also hate it because Percy Jackson is one of my favorite series, right up there with Inheritance and Left Behind, and the movie made it look like just some average stupid teen adventure book when it is really a great series!! I would m
    like to see what they r gonna do for it because the first movie was ok. I just don’t know whether I should b excited or not!! there r soo many flaws that make me really sad but all in all it’s not a terrible movie.

  • Jacobvesledahl

    WTF? second grade? hes in 7th grade in the sea of monsters idiot

  • crissi

    ok i’m so excited about the second movie. i’ve read all the books. Ok so a lot of you didn’t care for the movie because it didn’t fit the book. but one thing i will say is the movie was very entertaining. i believe that the way everyone criticized the first one i think they will do better with the second one. i love the first movie being different though. With moveis they can’t be exact with the books. yes they left out information and blah blah but look at the third harry potter movie they messed that one up but fans still loved it. if your a true fan then you wouldn’t have a problem with what they do with the movies.

    • HushHushFallen1

      YES. Thank you! AGREED!

      • fangs of steel

        seconded!!!!!!!!

  • Night Angel Kage

    And another thing. The actors also fail. Seriously, who hired them? they can’t act at all. Plus all the charters are completely different. Why is it so hard to keep the plot and charters right?

    if you want to do this movie i suggest you remake the first one.. WITH 12 YEAR OLDS!!!!! no offence logan (whos b perfect if he was MUCH younger)

    • PercyFan1Jan

      I’m the first one who will watch your movie. I think Percy Jackson is a type of books which aren’t so easy to make a movie of ot, because here are too many important details. And that all in a movie which is not longer than 2 hours is really hard. But it would be really nice if a movie comes out with all the details. Wayne how long the movoe is, i would watch it. :)

      • cherryttcrazylady

         they should have made the movie a two part film. personally i think they should do the first movie again and this time actually read the books.

    • Selena Daniels

      I totally agree! And I would love to help you make the movies right!

      • cherryttcrazylady

         me to i would love to redirect that movie.

      Clarisse La Rue…Why did they take her out? She is 1 needed in the second movie but 2 is like Percy’s frienemy person. She’s a main part of the story. And what about the Thrill Ride of Love or Crusty’s Waterbed Emporium or mabey the St louis Arch were are they? and the hydra…where and why?

  • Bignate

    i may have to wait but its worth it

  • Victoria Smith

    It better be the same as the book

    • fangs of steel

      does it have to be? since when has a movie been exactly the same as the book? can we wait for the movie to come and then comment!

  • happypickle

    thats more than 2 years from now y tell us now?! get us all excited

  • Alexis C.

    I cant believe we have to wait till next year to see the second movie!  And i wish they would have stuck to the book a little more. But I did enjoy the movie. Even though Percy is supposed to be 12 not 18! and Annabeth is supposed to be BLONDE!!!!!!

  • Muffin Underwood

    I don’t see why you all are obsessing over the fact that Kronos is not in the movie. I don’t know which book it’s in, but Luke ends up being Kronos. Doesn’t he?  I havn’t read the books in forever, but I think Luke is Kronos. So STOP obsessing!

  • Stephonsnoooks

  • Pissed Off

    I think you all should shut your whinging. 
    It could’ve been worse. As a movie, P.J. is awesome. The books are amazing too. Of course the movie is going to suck in comparison to the book. Rarely any movies are better or as good as the books. I can only name maybe five or ten, and there’s been so many adaptions.
    Both the books and movies can be successful, if y’all stop the comparisons. Compare L.J. Smith’s Vampire Diaries series to the T.V. series. There’s barely anything in common with them anymore. Even L.J. admits that. But people still love the TV series and they love the books, too. Some might not love both.
    Enjoy them as seperate things. 
    And, G-d, the people who made this know what the fuck they’re doing. It’s their job, not yours. Maybe Alexandra (Annabeth) was the only half decent actress who auditioned and it’d have been unfair to give it to an actress who couldn’t act for shit, but had blonde hair. Maybe they hadn’t confirmed a second movie yet, and didn’t want to leave people hanging if they never got around it. And Rick Riodan doesn’t seem to give a damn about the differences. You should be glad they didn’t totally change it like the Vampire Diaries. If you want to have a say in about how movies are made, then go become a fucking director.

    no actually. we’re not happy to know that. we’re APALLED!

  • BOOKS!! :D

    These books don’t deserve this.
    As everyone else has pointed out, they’re made far too many mistakes for it to be considered an acceptable film. If this guy was known for “Harry Potter” then why isn’t this movie based on its book at all? They did a wonderful job on Harry Potter movies (though I will always prefer the books) so why can’t they just wipe the slate clean, remake the first Percy Jackson movie with 12 YEAR OLDS, an actual plot that at least somewhat revolves around the Great Prophecy, and, for God’s sake, I wanted to see what the cabins were gonna look like!!! Tents…. please.

    The first movie totally blew. It sucked. But that’s only if you read the book. I really wanted to see the whole book series as movies, but I don’t think they should continue on. I really don’t know how they’re going to fix it all in the second movie. If they don’t include Mr. D or Clarisse in the second movie (which I don’t see how they’re gonna do, unless they change the plot completely), I will be very mad.

  • Yourmom

    Eragon:guy with girl dragon who gets spiral mark on hand. Percy: gay guy who has a trident and a girlfriend that could kick his a$$. how the fork could you compare them.

      one thing the book and the movie of eragon sucked percy could kik eragon a$$ any day especially with festus the dragon lmao

  • Twifan617

    i am happy about another movie..but….i really dont know why they didnt just start like how it is in the books. he was twelve in the first book, 13 in the second…..and annabeth dosnt even have brown hair…grover has different color skin..and percy’s hair isent dark enough….couldnt they have itleast tryed to make them look more like they did in the book!??!?! UHHHH DAMNIT!!! why couldnt they have just done it like harry potter and have them start young and not fucking..17 or whatever shit fuck FUCK FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK  *kicks wall painfully and cries for a minute*….these move people fuck up everything..they ahould just start over!!!

  • NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

    They CAN’T make a sequel unless they redo the original. Throughout the series there is the ever-present threat that Kronos is rising. They completely scrapped him, instead choosing Hades to be the villain, when he was actually a victim. They ‘forgot’ Thalia, another crucial part of the second book, and Claries, who plays quite a part in this adventure. Let’s not forget absolutely NO reference to Grover’s search for Pan, there was no Dionysus or Ares, the monsters can’t reincanate themselves, they scrapped the prophecy, and they hope to CONTINUE??? The only way they CAN contiune is if they screw up this one even more than they did the first. I predict that this movie will flop, HARD. The only reason the first one did well was because fans who loved the book rushed to see the adventure on the big screen. We came out utterly disappointed. IF YOUR GOING TO MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT A BOOK< MAKE IT FOLLOW THE BOOK!!! Is that so hard?

    WTH this was one of the biggest disappointments of a book-gone-movie EVER! Ughhh it was soooo bad, sooo many things wrong. The only reason anyone went to see the first one is because they thought it might be somewhere near as good as the books, which it was so not. I don’t see how they can continue, what with leaving so many things out. Anyone else notice the only people who think the movie was okay either a) haven’t read the books (and even then it was bad) or b) Think Logan Learman is hot (doesn’t make him a good actor).

  • Kbeachgirl925

    i will be okay with the movie without alexandra daddiro. blonde annabeth please! i didnt like her! no offense to the people who did, but i think the movie was awful. if you hadnt noticed, WHERES CLARRISSEEEE!!!!! I LOVED HER so they officially cant make another without her, the plot was wrapped around her. so i’d rather not see it.

  • Mamacita91290

    I think they should follow the plot of the book. its more action that way.

  • Curatrix

    If you snoop around a bit you can find that they are replacing a lot of the people in the animation and writing that made the first movie so bad. A lot of stuff obviously had to be dropped in order to prevent creating two movies- however, Im prepared to laugh at them when they get to focal points of the story with Clarisse or Ares or the Oracle or any of that stuff and then realize these characters haven’t ever been introduced. Those early mistakes are gonna screw them bad later. Almost forgot- KRONOS. Like, were we trying to kill some Titan? Oh no, maybe not…

    And although Logan Lerman is cute and 20 (which is still too old), A. Daddario is going to eb 27 next year. What do you mean last movie at 30. Shes f*ing 30 now. omfg, she’ll be like a forty year old annabeth. And what if they want to use her in Heroes of Olympus movies too? She’ll have the mark of athena at 50.

    ewww….

  • shaylie jay

    i hadnt heard about percy jackson until the movie come out but ever since i’ve been obsessed with the books !!!

  • Anon

    FIRST THE HUNGER GAMES AND NOW THIS. NO! THEY NEED TO MAKE MOVIES FASTER.

    I will patiently wait until 2013.. but it is going to be sooooooo hard.

    And stop hating. The movie was GREAT.

  • Pavel

    No! I just forgave Hollywood for Percy Jackson, AND ERAGON after the Hunger Games movie. They can’t revive old pains now, I can’t bear to watch the second movie after the first one was so incredibly horrid.

  • StarlingChild4

    FINALLY. They better do it right, this time!!! (though, admittedly, by itself, the first film was pretty darn good…. just compared to the book..? Not so hot…) 

  • Prakruthirao96

    i am not excited. srsly. no clarisse AND they finished luke off in the 1st part.
    may god be with chris columbus nd poor, helpless pjo fans (-_-)
    I LUV PJO

  • Arkhaichunt

    Yes, fans are worried about future films…We are shaking in fear.  The movies are utterly destroying the story, eliminating essential characters, etc.  I can’t even imagine how they are going to do the sequel.  The first movie was awful.

  • son of the sea

    i read the first 95 reveiws and wat kind of racist girl thinks that all the the characters have to be white i think it was good they had a black character even though the book says hes white that dont mean nothing now moving on the movie was horrid i mean what happened to the twelve year olds logan will be old and grey by the time they want to make a movie for the heros of olympus series no offence but last time i checked percy is once again only 12 years old i hate the movie it is a discrace to all percy jackson fans not mention they are missing the oracle ares clarisse and chiron is a white stallion not a brown one and he was also the only centuar at camp  so how would the floridian party  ponies are at camp then how can they rescue them in book two if they at camp half blood and luke he was thrown into the sea with a trident in his neck who thinks he will survive that i mean the battle with ares they didnt even have a prophecy for the quest theres so much more bagging to do on this movie i could write a book this is just rediculous kronos wasnt even mentioned muchless controlling luke to manipulate percy and if they do make a second on the director should at least read the books he will probably forget the parts with hermes and circe i bet they wont include tyson or polyphemus the second on will be worse then the first i will put money on that man at least hav rick to mak it a little better and what in the world did they do to the under world no elisym no fields of asphodel it was all the fields of eternal punishment the whole movie was a piece of shit i wish i could have directed it but  so help me by the power of zeus they better make it better or i swear on neptunes beard that i  will buy it so that some unlucky person will not have to watch  it and they did not that the tree was thalias or her story

  • Lemonpiey

    I have sunddenly got a weird obsession whith 1st the books then the Movie. Any Percy Jackson thing is awsome by me!!!!!!

  • Tabitha :)

    The movie was good if u havent read the book but to know that it is based on the Percy Jackson books, its terrible. Firstly he is meant to be like 12 not freakin 16. And what happened to annabeth… i thought she was blonde! And grover (no offence) but he is meant to be white.. not being racist.. the plot is changed completely and i have no interest in seeing the second movie after seeing the first.. im a great fan of percy jackson and rick riordan but.. this is just awful

  • Pamela

    It’s okay if they change the plot or whatever. Personally, I don’t like watching movies that I’ve already read because it’s the same story, but if they change the plot, then I will have a new story to know. I really liked the Hunger Games book, but when I watched the movie, I was a bit bored because I already knew what was going to happen, and it just wasn’t exciting to me.

  • jerimay

     WHAT ! 2013 ! by the 5th movie PERCYS GONNA BE AN OLD GRANDFATHER !

  • Sam

    The first movie was a fail. Idk how they’re going to do the second one…

  • WTF!!!!

    no way this is aweful… the first movie was bad enough now theyare making a second. first of all the charecters are all way to old and secondly they left out HUGE parts in the first one that contribute to the rest of the books. WHAT ABOUT THALIA’S TREE? WHAT ABOUT PERCY MEETING KRONOS IN THE UNDERWORLD?

    THIS MOVIE IS GOING TO SUCK!!!!!!

  • therealpercyfan

    i DO NOT THINK THIS CAN BE RECOVERED!!!!!!! The books are the only thing i have red other then harry potter(witch i still love) and the movie was a disaster! how is clarsse going to be in this one. she had(not a big one)role in the book and she has a big role in the next one too so WTF

  • Aims Yeo

    I am so exited if they say that it is then I am so exited

  • random girl

    oh god hell fricking no….. u know what just know first they screw up the movie like theres no tomorrow and i would give u a list but not worth it but the main thing is, is that they have no clairisse and she plays a huge role right there and then one more thing there not releasing the movie till practicallu four years after the first one and at this rate they should just completly abandon this whole idea, get knew actors, director, script, cause at the rate there going they wont finish the series until the actors are in there 30′s and they wont be able to make heroes of olympus and that will crush a bunch of fan girls hearts so just screw the director and the actors and start out fresh and everything will be find

  • Jaderoyal18

    I liked the 1st movie it was cool and all but seriously Kronos is the main problem that will be in the continuing books. It was Kronos that made Luke that way and they didn’t even put that in the movie!!! And the way they made the gods look was just like “did you even pick up the book and read the first sentence?!?!” Hades is supposed to be all serious with a suit and all and not looking like Mick jagger for crying out loud. They could’ve done a better job. They really do have to remake the movie of like do some kind of short back story. Something like 
    in percy’s dream Kronos reveals the truth but even that wouldn’t make much sense. And if they do a movie for The Hero’s of Olympus series I hope that they don’t screw it up like they did on this series. And how can they not put Ares of Clarrise in it?!? It’s just sad.

  • Smartertwin

    I am so not looking forward to this movie. Ugh… they totally strayed from the book, which was stupid, and this one is going to be just as bad….

  • Hannah Jean

    They murdered my love for the series with the first movie and I am terrified to find out what they will do to this one!  The actors are waaaayyy too old (They have to be almost 30)… Also you might has well have casted Annabeth as a robot!  The actress six!  Fans might forgive you if you recast age appropriate actors and pretend that they’ve been there the whole time!!!!

  • Really?

    I don’t know what they are going to do since they didn’t mention Thalia in the first movie or the protective tree.

  • Thalia FTW

    They can’t make a second on because the second book revolves around Thalia’s tree and the tree wasnt mentioned at all

  • Iamharrisonkane

    They cant make the sea of monsters, it is impossible to do the movie on the same plot as the book because they took out absolutely way to much main details, and added to much, I mean Percy is already like 15 or 16 years old and the prophecy said that when he turns 16 he will decide the fiat of Olympus.  Clarrise is a big character in the second book but they didn’t even put her in there, so how are they going to get her in the second movie.  Also they made it so that Luke wanted the gods destroyed so that the demigods could rule not the Titans, what is wrong the the makers of the movie, there is a big difference between demigods and titans. They can not make the second movie without remaking the first.

  • PJ55

    it left too much info out in the first. It never said anything about annabeth and luke. And had nothing to do with any sorta of evil godly problems.

  • PercyJacksonFan#1

    no!!!! THIS IS BAD THE FIRST MOVIE SUCKED HERES WHY:
    I have seen a lot of great books made into crappy movies over the years, from The Sum of All Fears to Eragon, but this movie, Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, was absolutely the word book to movie I’ve ever seen.
    Man, where to begin. Rick Riordan did a wonderful job writing the Percy Jackson books. They were well written, enjoyable, with an equal mix of humor and seriousness, lovable characters, and a wonderful twist on classic Greek mythology. I’ve read all 5 books, and I absolutely loved them! Coming from that point of view, having read and loved the books, I’m not sure I can adequately express how angry I am at Chris Columbus for utterly ruining this movie.
    Everything was wrong, and I mean everything! Percy wasn’t 12…he looked more like 18 or 20. Instead of a sweet but somewhat awkward kid, they got Logan Lerman, who can’t seem to help but come off as a smart ass punk with a chip on his shoulder. Grover wasn’t anything like Grover in the book. Annabeth was completely wrong…instead of a cute little blonde kid, they got some chunky brunette. She had no invisibility hat, no interest in architecture, and no past or story or connection to a great prophecy or anything.
    There was no great prophecy, no Dionysus, no Ares, no Clarisse, no camp cabins, no Hermes, no official quest. Ares didn’t hide the lightning bolt in the backpack he gives to Percy. Poseidon didn’t claim Percy at camp, Charon wasn’t a cool dude in a suit who needed a raise…I can go on and on and on. The movie hardly followed the book at all, other than the barest of the plot lines.
    But it was much more than just technical or story issues…the look and feel of the movie was just wrong. Heck, I kept feeling like Lucy Lawless and Kevin Sorbo were about to pop up and re-enact some of the crappier episodes of Xena or Hercules. It was just so…cheesy, almost sitcom-ish.
    Also, I understand a studio wanting to make their movies racially diverse, but please, the Greek gods were all white. Nobody has the right to go screwing with history like that just to be politically correct. Super lame.
    For the first time in a very long time, I found myself in a movie, and I couldn’t wait for it to end. It really was that bad. My wife, who has also read and loved the books, thought it was horrible as well. The first thing we did when it ended was to get on Twitter and announce how terrible it was.
    Seriously folks, if you or your children loved the Percy Jackson book, PLEASE DON”T SEE THIS MOVIE!
    Chris Columbus, I used to have respect for you, but not anymore. You screwed up this movie hardcore You know you’ve failed when the trailer for the movie was 10 times better than the movie…
    This movie, as of now, has a 47% on Rotten Tomatoes, an absolute splat, and it SO deserves worse than that!

    • Pennington11741

      your very right

    • Jessprincess02

      I agree except that the actor that played Annabeth was chunky. She was normal size.

    • Thalia101

      I like how u think.

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/MLJ2HVLS6JUASO4X7UTN3YDVEY C

    rick riordan is really stupid if he’s gonna let the same director make the second movie. if they’re gonna continue with the series then they have to make the first one over again, correctly!!! why do you think they re-did spiderman?? because they messed up! DONT MAKE ANY OTHER MOVIES UNTIL YOU FIX THE FIRST ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Mega_dissapointed

      Seriously though. My thoughts exactly.

  • Penguin

    I do not believe that there will ever be a movie about Greek Mythology done right. Ever.

    Never read the books, so I like the movue…..even with my 12 yr old telling me whats wrong with it lol

  • Dlajmc

    The first movie was very nice. I liked the ages older than the book. I get sick of little kids. The first movie started several to read the books. I’m looking forward to the next movie. Also Eragon movie was great if you had never read the book. Wish they would have done more!

  • Pennington11741

    NNNNNOOOOOOOOO EVERYONE WHO EVER READ A PAGE OF THE ACTUAL BOOKS WILL BOYCOT THIS MOVIE AND THE COMPANY WHO MAKES IT THE FIRST MOVIE WAS A HOUR AND A HALF WASTE OF MY LIFE

  • Gmyrekfamily

    YEAH!  So EXCITED!  WE LOVE PERCY!  <3

  • Mega_dissapointed

    Ok. So. I think that it woulda been a pretty good movie to people who haven’t read the books.
    BUT! There are TONS! of Percy Jackson fans and the director/ script writing/ casting person shoulda know that. They dissapointed more than half of everyone who went to see the first one.
    I’m so mad that they are going to make a new one because there is no way they can continue the story without all of the stuff they left out/ changed in the first one.
    It’s like, urgh. So mad. Can’t decide whether or not to go see this second one or not.

  • Angry Percy Jackson Fan

    I was utterly disappointed on how the first movie of Percy Jackson turned out. First off, they made Percy like 16! My first reaction was like, “Okay, that is NOT right.” He is supposed to be 12! I hope the Hollywood people can get that through their thick skulls.
    Also, they replaced curly, blonde haired Annabeth with some brunette chick! What the heck? Her character was dry, boring, and had absolutely no depth or back story at all! Grover was funny, but the character was still wrong!
    Here are all the characters they left out-
    Dionysus
    Clarisse
    Ares
    Kronos!!!!
    How can you possibly continue on the story without the main villain? Plus, they left out a lot of stuff. I know you can’t really make a movie over 2 hours, but come on! The movie sucked, even if Logan Lerman is hot.
    Even now I can’t force myself to watch it. If you ask me, I think they should remake the first one. And do it right this time with a TWELVE year old Percy.
    I know Percy Jackson fans out there agree with me.
    REMAKE THE FIRST MOVIE!  

    • Mega_dissapointed

      I agree. Remake the first one. Then, maybe if the remake it right, make a second one.

    • http://twitter.com/bbbhorselove Mikayla Barreiro

       I agree completely. There are just so many plot fails it makes no since. Also they never mentioned a searchers license so how will Grover find the fleece if he isn’t a searcher… plus the already killed the Hydra, and they never introduced Thalia so how is the third one to work out. The worst part is that he is so old. How is the prophecy about him turning 16 suppose to be fulfilled when he is already 16…..

    We LOVE the 1st Percy Jackson – thank you for doing more – keep making them. They were great characters, fast paced and we have watched it dozens of times. It was great because kids could watch it without sex and cursing. Love it, love it. love it.  Thank you for doing more.

  • Reconsideration please?

    Patrick: How about we disregard the first movie and RESTART again, and this time with the correct data from the book. :)

  • Ethan Page

    They cant make another film cause the first had nothing to fall back on.
    Wheres Kronos, Ares, Mr. D, Carise and every one els in the books who have a huge part to play in the next 4 films. For Percy Jackson 2 Clarise is in it, so we have to learn al about her enless they leave her out (they proberbly will).
    Rick should of done what J.K.Rowling did and not let them realese it unless it`s jst like the book.
    There proberbly goin to leave out Tyson and Kronos and the story of the other Titans.
    I love all of Rick’s books but the movie, no wonder it didn’t do well.
    Re-make the first film, or atleast make the 2nd like the book and add in every thing they left out.
      

  • charmonster

    we(my family and I) just got finished watching the first movie. I had watched it earlier(while forcing myself mentally and physically to watch the rest), and ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT, IT FOLLOWED THE BOOK SO WELL. Not.

    My dad, sister and I are all huge Percy Jackson fans, and I wanted them to see how bad the movie was, compared to the book. My mom, who has not read the books, didn’t like it either. When we asked her why, she said ,”It didn’t hold my attention, I felt like I was suppose to be doing other things.”

    And what me and my sister where continuously saying what was supposed to be there, what wasn’t, and what was there that wasn’t suppose to.

    -Clarisse
    -Mr. D
    -Camp Half-blood shirts
    -Ares
    -Annabeth’s hair and eyes
    -AGE
    -the three headed dog in the underworld(forgot it’s name)
    -Half-Blood Hill
    -strawberry fields
    -Thalia’s Tree
    -NO ELECTRONICS
    -Chiron’s horse half is WHITE
    -the nickname seaweed brain
    -Luke’s scar
    -Annabeth’s hat and knife
    -Argus
    -HADES< WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?
    -whats up with the lotus hotel and casino?
    -Denver?
    -Waterland? Tunnel O' Love?
    -Ms. Dodds JACKET
    -Blue Food

    I'm gonna end there but there are a million more.

  • persons whos just bored

    you guys come on the movie isnt gonna be like the book but i have to agree there was no QUEST about three pears in the damn book i liked the moive but come on the guys how made the movie could do a whole lot better

  • Joe Direson

    I think the first movie was pretty good. If worse comes to worse just add a few things in the first movie like put some make up on Logan Lerman to make him look younger or recast him, make everyone look younger or recast which i would really not like, and add some other gods and back stories.

  • Cody

    I have to say I loved the first movie. I wish there had been more action with percy using his powers more but it was good. So many people complain when a movie isn’t the same as the books. When is it ever. Even the Harry potters series and the lord of the rings series movies where very different than the books. I have a feeling if so many people hadn’t read the books they would have actually liked the movie. I say great movie. I just hope the next movie has more action with Percy using his powers.

  • total disapointment

    the first movie the lightning theif is a failure they screwed it up so much that they can never make the sea of monsters they left out ares who is supposed to give them the bolt and have hades helm of darkness (which in the movie hades never lost) they left out the fact that the shoes are cursed and anabeth is blonde not a brunnette

  • total disapointment

    Anabeth uses a nife a bronze nife not a sword plus during capture the flag there is no maiming which anabeth does alot and in the capture the flag percy is on anabeths team with hermes cabin and the rest of the athena cabin

  • total disapointment

    the only thing the movie had incommon with the book was a few names and and the title

  • Percy Jackson 5

    Dudes I read the first book in 4th grade and fell in love with it. I am now in fifth grade and just saw the movie last night. Sure they messed up a lot of stuff but the hunger games was worse. Trust me if you read the books wich I did last year you don’t want to see the movie. Anyway back to Percy Jackson, I am a true freaking fan. I read the books over and over. And there the only series I do. So stop complaining because they are not going to make a remake before the rest of the series just be happy with what you got because if you aren’t you aren’t a true fan. I know your trying to stick up for the book but seriously I think the author is pretty upset to and will demand a remake. If he is not mail a letter to him. That’s what I am going Tito do to another author. Protest her stopping of her books. I thought the movie was okay. And use your imanginations. Imagine annabeth has blonde hair, imagine Percy is 12 just suck it up because complaining isn’t going to do anything.

  • TrueDaughterOfPoseidon

    They pretty much ruined the whole story-line. What happened to the prophecy?! That is what the whole story is suppose to lead up to! It said that when a child of the big three turns sixteen the prophecy will take place. How can they do that when in the first movie, Percy is already sixteen!?!?!? They never mentioned Kronos or Grover wanting a searchers license or the oracle (which means no Rachel) or anything! The part that made me the most upset isn’t even that big of an issue. Remember in the lightning thief when Percy asked his mother how old he was when his dad left? And his mom said he wasn’t even born yet? Well, in the movie, Percy personally asked his dad and got answered with “7 months”. NO! Why?! It wouldn’t have been that hard to say “You weren’t born”. Why did they have to change that little fact!?
    Also, in the second movie, they changed Annabeths hair to the blonde it is suppose to be… Why? All the fans are already upset she wasn’t blonde in the first movie so I doubt changing that in the second movie is going to impress anyone.
    Honestly, I am excited to see the second movie to see how they plan to work around this giant mess they created.

  • RICK RIORDAN’S FOLLOWER

    Oh no. No no no no NO! You know how happy and giddy i was when the first movie came in? As soon as it came into theaters(im 11) I DRAGGED my mom there. And what do you know? IT SUCKED. First off. I am a MEGA Rick Riordan fan.(GO RICK RIORDAN!!) Second- Its not Rick Riordan’s fault that his more than awesome book series, turned out to be crap in the moveis. Third: WHERE THE HECK IS CLARISSE! I use to laugh at that when they were always fighting. Um, wheres the laughing? True fact: In the movie theaters, i saw a BUCNH of my friends. They were all so happy when the movie launched into theaters.And you know what the big surprise was? People weren’t even LAUGHING.SOme people even fell ASLEEP.When i came out of the movie i was like ” Im so happy thats done” Ok next thing. THEY DIDN’T EVEN MENTION GAEA(sp erroes sorry) OR KRONOS!! The movie sucked. Now when this sequal comes out, im gonna watch it, while reading the book to know the mistakes.Rick Riordan is an AWESOME author. Everyone here agrees on THAT. His books should be PRAISED. Not shown on a TV with barely ANY facts on it. I BET THE AUTHOUR DIDN’T EVEN READ THE BOOK AND SAID ” Hey everyone likes this thing called Percy Jackson. Lets make a movie out of it!” The movie sucked. Plain and Simple.

  • me mad at director

  • Hannah

    The book was fantastic but the movie was a
    Letdown but i am still looking forward to the second movie

  • Annabeth

    that long March 27. it is such a good series

  • Mandi

    they should just scrap the first movie. There’s no way to “remake” it. It’s a relatively new movie (within the last five years). I don’t think it would be possible to remake it. They should take up the second movie and NOT mess with the plot line in the movie. They need to follow the story that was written in the BOOK. The book is what fans loved so much. They went to the first movie wanting to hear the story that came from the BOOK in movie form.That’s why so many people were disappointed. The second movie should stick extremely close to the plot line of the second book(understandably not everything from the book can be in the movie, but they don’t have to add a bunch of extra garbage in either!). In the first movie it was like I was watching a similar story as to what was in the book, but there were SO MANY differences. The differences is what killed the first movie. If they had tried harder to stay to the original story line it would’ve been an awesome movie.

    im kinda excited for the second movie only because I’m really hoping its more accurate to the book then the first one was… If only I was a millionaire cuz I would remake the first movie myself!

  • dilz123

    people are judging the second movie because of the first movie, you never know the second movie may actually turn out to be pretty good. Even thought he first movie didn’t go along with the book, i still enjoyed it and i am really looking forward to the second movie!!! :) :)

  • abc

    I think it’s to late for the movies to be like the books but I think they can still be really good films so I can’t wait for the Sea of Monsters to come out in 2013!

  • Bob H.

    I just can’t wait to see what they mess up this time. Who knows though, maybe this time they’ll actually use the right bad guy, and the right plot, and slow things down, and actually read the book. Either way, I’m watching this movie, whether to actually watch it or to just make fun of it is still undetermined.

  • SoWhat

    People really shouldn’t go hating the movie. I’ve read the books and seen the movie and i loved it. To be honest i don’t think the movie would have looked good with twelve year olds in it but i don’t expect movies to follow books to the finest detail. I think that the 2nd movie will fit in nicely and they will find some ways to introduce the characters that they didn’t in the first one. I know some of you will think i’m probably crazy but someone had to put in a nice comment, and it is my opinion.

  • Annabeth Chase

    Ok, people have been saying “OMG the movies aren’t even supposed to be like the book, its an ADAPTATION”.
    Yeah. We all get that.
    But whats the point of making an “adaptation” if 75% of the audience are fans of the book? you cant just do what you want to do and not please anyone.
    Either the directors didn’t read any of the books or they just dont want any viewers.

  • 1 one fan

    I love the movie and I hope they will make a lot more movies!

  • Abby

    I was so disappointed with the movie. Logan Was a great Percy but he needed to be younger in the movie he was already 16 like that ruined the whole profecy. And Annabeth was a bad actress and she was Suposse to be blonde. Grover was pretty good but he was Suposse to be more shy and skittish. and plus they left out Kronos, he was like what the whole series revoles around how could they leave him out!!!

  • Fox Movies Report

    Hey all you Percy Jackson fans, it turns out that the movie has been set back. It will acually come out on August 16,2013. Sorry about the delay!

  • Hazy123

    This is a different director maybe you’ll be surprise if you guys just let lose of the little details. They probly changed the plot of the first movie because of what the actor is best at.

  • Riley

    I hated the first movie. It was completley different than the book, and they left out so many important parts!

  • Mahmoud Eid

    i cant believe that its comin out after like 5-6 years after first one

  • Zerazath

    Here’s what I’m thinking though… They know they screwed up with the first one, they’ve seen the reviews… I believe that they will try their best to fix the problems. It’s how they’re going to do it that’s worrying me… I try not to spend too much time thinking about the sequel because I’m just going to watch it anyway. If it’s good, hooray miracle of miracles whoopdidoo, and if it’s not then i lose all remaining hope. There’ll be other movies

  • Bree J

    they left out so much crucial information and characters in the first movie not to mention the things they’ve changed it. I think it will be a very tricky job but i have hope that they can fix their mistakes and fill in the blanks in the sequel.

  • Tired of complaints

    Ugh. The movie was good, but it doesn’t do the book justice. Like, at all.

    1) The character’s ages were way off. Is the new prophecy supposed to have Percy reach 20 before beating Kronos?

    2) The character’s appearances were off, too. Annabeth has blond, CURLY hair, not dark straight hair. Grover is NOT black(not meant to be racist), and does anyone remember that Chrion is supposed to be a WHITE horse? Not a brown one.

    3) Several key characters were missing. Where was Clarrise? Mr. D? ARES? Kronos? WHERE WAS THE ORACLE???? I don’t know if anyone noticed, but the Oracle is super important.

    4) They missed a lot of important places and actions! Like, the Tunnel of Love trap(which introduces Hephasteus, and not to mention that old Athena/ Archane rivalry),
    Percy sending Medusa’s head to Olympus(builds his troublemaker personality), and Percy kicking Ares’ butt!! The St. Louis Arch, anyone?
    There’s all of that stuff wrong, but if it wasn’t based off THIS BOOK, it’d be an EPIC movie. So don’t hate the movie. Hate the director that made all this stuff happen.

  • Miranda F

    I read the recap supplied. Second grade year? I believe it is seventh, since Percy was in sixth grade in the first novel. If this can be corrected, that would be great. I hope the director/ producers read the series more thoroughly this time about, and possibly ignore the mistakes of the first movie so that it may be right this time, because as we have seen in movies like “Twilight” and the “Harry Potter Series”, fans love it when the book can be replicated as best as it should with not too many alterations from what the author of the books had originally stated. Besides the errors in the first movie as to matching it to the book, I thought the movie was pretty good otherwise. I am pleased to see there is another movie coming soon. Thank you for the update.

  • Miranda F

    Oh, and if they could remake the first one as well as keep this one matching the plot and details much better, that would be great. Otherwise, perhaps they get someone else to direct/ produce this movie, because it is a wonderful book series (my favorite in fact), and this can be harming a potential fan base for the books. I wish them well and hope they are correct this time around.

  • DawnQueen

    I’m not sure how this will continue because in the first movie they had Luke’s end didn’t mention Kronos at all and then tried to pull it off by adding “magic” pearls!
    Geez I don’t think I’m going to watch it. It’ll just be a big disappointment!

  • ytr

    they change so much and made it worse

  • george t

    yeah the books are great. the heroes of olympus are good as well

    I watched the Percy Jackson movie before I read the books! The movie was nicely done but they completely destroyed the storyline! I was very disappointed in the fact that they left out so much and changed important details!! Why even make a movie based from a book if your not going to be true to the core and heart of the story! Its upsetting and disappointing for fans of the books!!! Hope they redeem themselves in the second movie installment!!

  • Crazyman474

    Percy Jackson is awesome!!!!!!!

  • Kale, Percy lover, movie hater

    First movie sucked! how will they get older without growing up any more since in the first movie Percy was already 16?

  • http://www.facebook.com/anson.wong.587 Anson Wong

    I really hope this film stops I mean by god the first film has pissed me off and offended

    even now when I think about it I get a little mad. I mean you think a extremely successful book people would actually put time and effort to it… They do not
    the cgi effects are pretty cool but the inaccuracy just ruins all of it

  • memo

    The first one wasn’t how I would have made it but I am still looking forward to the second one! :)

  • Dean Pasma

    i can’t wait and i think it will be a lot better then the first because it’s going to be published be chris columbus

  • luz

    I think they have to remake the first movie with actors of 12. I love logan lerman but he is like a percy of sixteen years old

  • HAI DERE

    The first movie was horrible. If they are able to fix it, I will be ever so pleased. However, it they screw it up… *repeatedly punches fist in palm*

  • Pixiebite

    March 27, 2013… I must be reading this wrong, if I’m correct, today is May 29, 2013. I’m concerned at the moment, frankly they had better just remake the first movie, sticking to the book and with better actors.
