Logline:Follows the Greek god Poseidon's 12-year-old half-human son as he embarks on a fantastical quest across modern-day America to save his mother, return Zeus' stolen lightning bolt and prevent a deadly war between the gods

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lightning_Thief#Major_characters http://percyjackson.wikia.com/wiki/The_Lightning_Thief   (scroll down to characters) In the the Lightning Thief book Percy and Annabeth are both 12.

http://www.filmofilia.com/2009/11/30/percy-jackson-and-the-olympians-the-lightning-thief-movie-trailer-2/ The film is based on the first novel in Rick Riordan’s “Percy Jackson & the Olympians” series. The story revolves around a ‘troubled’ 12-year-old boy, Percy Jackson, who discovers that he is the son of the Greek god Poseidon during a field trip to a museum in New York City.

The "Kiss"
I don't mean to be a bother, but stating that they kiss is just based on assumption. She could just be leaning in looking like she's going to kiss him and then just whisper something in his ear. OR they could lean in to kiss and get interupted. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of Percy/Annabeth but I just tink it's too early. 86.152.59.128 03:27, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

I also agree with you. Some stuff on here isn't official 'OFFICIAL' like something you could pick out of the trailer and say, "YES, that happens." SayuriDarling 04:36, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

Age
I think in the film they are supposed to be twelve (God knows how theyre supposed to pull that off) but the actors are around eighteen so good luck being 22 and potraying 16 year olds.(It has been done though examples being: Greece and Harry Potter)Sorciri 00:11, January 2, 2010 (UTC)Sorciri

The ages have been changed though. Logan even said it. So did Chris Columbus. SayuriDarling 01:09, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

Then can I just say they trying to fix harry potters mistakes but they still fail because of a major plot difference. The idea of the age is people who are that age can relate to the exagerated issues like not fitting in. How is a 22 year old going to relate to the problems given to a sixteen yearold.Sorciri 02:00, January 2, 2010 (UTC)Sorciri

Because it's Percy who doesn't fit in and he's 17 and still in school. Alexandra, who is 23, recently finished college I believe. And to be honest to you, who would want to see a movie about 12 year olds running around the screen killing things other than the people who read the book and understand why. It's to appeal to everyone. In HP1 the kids didn't even fight. They were just learning stuff. Harry didn't even like fight Voldemort. SayuriDarling 16:14, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

Diffrences between Book and Movie
Another diffrence between the book and the movie is that in the book percy doesnt actually uses water much, only in the toilet while fighting clarisse, in the movie you see him using water on the roof very easy...

Minotaur
There has been some discussion wether the Minotaur attacks before he comes to camp or after. Now in the trailers you can't really tell, but I do know for a fact that Gabe's car is flipped in it. I think you can't really verify it because you can't really tell wether or not. SayuriDarling 14:59, January 3, 2010 (UTC)
