User blog comment:Xean/Percy Jackson doesn't want to be Harry Potter/@comment-76.17.139.95-20091228061032

Man...they're trying so hard to make this Percy Jackson movie look like all these popular things that have already been made instead of the unique feel that it was meant to be. They've got a 'twilight-ized' Dionysus, Hip comedian actors that don't even resemble the characters they're playing, tons of awkward and out of order scenes, an Annabeth that seems too much like Hermione Granger, Chick Flick dudes playing the gods...

Regardless of how much the books were different or similar, CC is trying to copy a lot from other movies into this one and I'm not yet sure whether or not that is good or bad. (By the way I agree completely with Soccergirl14 about not comparing THE BOOKS, and THE BOOKS only, because this movie is really mixed up.
