The actors' ages bothers me more than the actors' appearances. I like the actors, they're fine by me. I just think it will be a little weird when they're supposed to be twelve and they're now seventeen. But that's not going to put me off from seeing it. I watched every trailer and I still think it's going to be amazing. There's a ton of stuff that isn't in the book at all, but I look forward to seeing what they have new to add. I like when they add things! It makes it like I'm not just rereading the book, because I can do that (and do do that) whenever I feel like without paying twelve bucks for a movie ticket! I want it to seem different and unique. There are also some extremely good lines from the trailer, like when Chiron gives him the pen and Percy totally doesn't believe him. Just how he says, "This is a pen!" the second time is totally hilarious. And then how it cuts to Grover going, "CLICK IT!" And he freaks out when it becomes a sword. Love it. But that's just my opinion. I hope you respect that.
