^ I wholeheartedly agree. There are so many mistakes in the first movie ranging from casting to character development, but most of all, it seemed to me the Lightning Thief movie just pretty much neglected the main storyline set out by Rick Riordan. I mean, it's more like they used it as a basic guideline, and adjusted and left out bits as they went. And Annabeth. I know it's gonna sound picky but HER HAIR IS SUPPOSED TO BE BLONDE! D: That being said, it seems they have dyed the colour of the actor's hair blonde in the second movie... I'm not even gonna talk about how inconsistent that is. Also, they're introducing characters such as Clarisse in the Sea of Monsters, when she should have been introduced in the first. Dammit, I really liked the bathroom scene in the book. :( Ok, if I keep on going this is gonna turn out to be a really long rant so I'll just wrap things up.

I am going to the Sea of Monsters of movie when it comes out, but ONLY because I'm a devoted fan of the books, and if only to make fun of and rage about the crap they got wrong. Also, I read an interview or something with Rick Riordan and he said that he hasn't seen the first movie on purpose, because he doesn't want the movie to mess with his perception of his own characters and books. Very wise choice, in my opinion.
