I saw it. Yes, the highlight of the movie was the "it's a small world after all" moment, which is sad becuase it puts into perspective HOW HORRIBLE THE REST OF THE MOVIE WAS! (And it was also funny because that moment was as totally out of character for Percy and Annabeth as the rest of the movie was.) The funny thing was, I hated the representations of the other characters so much that my favorite character in the movie was Clarisse. Okay, so, to start the list of everything they promised that didn't appear in the movie:

Mark Hamill as Tantalus!

Them battling an army of zombies! (which was inconsistent to the book in the first place.)

Silena Beauregard! (But she was apparently in a background scene on Luke's ship.)

And I can't think of anything else, so I'll move on to everything that was wrong (that I can remember):

There were monsters on Luke's ship that looked exactly like Orcs

No Blackjack?!

Tyson is too old-sounding, he's supposed to be like a little kid

They totally messed up Tyson's backstory

Percy was constantly trying to talk to Poseidon

Annabeth- well, hang on, she gets a whole separate rant.

Whenever there were fights, it was almost all punching! I was like "Helloooo, did you forget about these useful things demigods should carry around called weapons?!"

Percy was not friends with Tyson before he was claimed by Poseidon

Logan Lerman's hair was horrible and not at all Percy-like

They revealed the entire Great Prophecy and it's only the 2nd movie!!!!!!

They took the entire Great Prophecy out of context!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Percy and Annabeth were being paired off too early

Percy was all like: "I feel like such a loser!" and he was practically the only one they showed doing any fighting! As if the others weren't capable!

Okay, well, they messed up the movie so much that I'll skip straight to my Annabeth rant.

There were exactly 2, tiny, improvements they made from last time's movie Annabeth.


 * 1) 1 They actually bothered to dye Alexandra Daddario's hair blonde this time.


 * 1) 2 She did a tiny bit of planning, showing that she's at least got a bit of a brain.

Other then that, they completely destroyed a well-written, awesome, strong female character and in addition to that, she was overly dramatic!! She became a Hollywood stereotype of a weak damsel in distress who couldn't possibly fend for herself without Percy. She was constantly desperate, didn't even carry around a single weapon, and just plain pathetic! And yet the real, book Annabeth, judo-flips Percy in the Mark of Athena because she was so worried by him going missing. And then guess what they did?! They decided that Tyson would use Annabeth's Last Olympian line, "You would have done the same for me" after Tyson took a bullet for Percy (which I think was subsituted for the lack of Tyson's "death" in a fiery explosion.)!

Well, never mind, I just won't bother seeing any more Percy Jackson movies. It was probably a decent movie to anyone who'd never read the books.
