i walked into it expecting it to be seriously different, and i personally enjoyed it. i thought that it was done well, and that everyone was cast perfectly, despite any physical differences they may have had. i think as a stand alone movie it was fantastic, and they CAN make sequels and have it make sense. and stop saying the plot wasn't similar; boy finds out he's a son of poseidon, goes to camp for other demigods, goes on quest with girl and satyr to save mother, returns the lightning bolt, other boy was actually thief, everything is happy. some of the stuff leading up to the major events were different but there are ALWAYS going to be differences between any book and a movie based off of it, and i think they did a pretty good job. it's meant for entertainment, don't over analyze it, just appreciate it for what it is. even rick riordan said that theyre going to be different and you should appreciate them as separate things.
