Cabin 3

Pierce Brosnan as Chiron was terrific. It was cool to see him in a role as a mentor, not a ladies man secret agent. He did really well portraying, as he himself calls it, a “horse’s a**”.

Uma Thurman as Medusa….what to say other than brilliant? She did well portraying Medusa as someone other than a hideous monster. Her scenes “Sneak a Peek” were terrifically terrifying. She did an amazing job making me feel like I was in a balance between life and death, and had to keep my eyes closed. (I didn’t, but the suspense was awesome).

Sean Bean and Kevin Mckidd as Zeus and Poseidon respectively. They didn’t get a whole lot of screen time, but they were great nonetheless. And Kevin Mckidd, when he’s talking to Percy at the end, he was great trying to get Percy to see his side of things, that he had his duties as a god, and couldn’t be there for Percy.

Steve Coogan and Rosario Dawson were great as Hades and Persephone. Sure, Persephone wasn’t in the book, but I’m still glad they put her in anyways. When I heard that Steve Coogan was portraying Hades of all characters, I thought “Oh great, how’s that one going to turn out?” and the answer is amazing.

Now, onto the Trio and Jake Abel. I think they did a terrific job when they cast Logan, Brandon, Alexandra and Jake as the young stars. Logan Lerman did great playing a kid who didn’t know where he was, and his reactions to the new world of the Gods is simply terrific. “Did that really just happen?” and “This is a pen. It’s a PEN.”

He and Alexandra were terrific on screen. “I have really strong feelings for you, I’m just not sure if they’re good or bad.” Alexandra’s character of Annabeth was really Clarisse and Annabeth rolled into one. (Since Clarisse was not in this film). She’s introduced training with a bunch of other Demi-Gods and beating the living daylights out of them. She’s the one who jacks up Percy at the creek during the Capture the Flag game.

Brandon was the life and soul of the film. He was hilarious, and every comment of his was pure gold. They made Grover’s character less of a geeky unsure kid, and made him more of a ladies man. And his facial expression and smacking her hand when Persephone reached out and felt his jacket was funny. And his moves with his crutches, using them as weapons was hilarious. As well as when he started chewing on a soda can, I did not expect that one!

Jake Abel was awesome as Luke. While he didn’t have the huge scar across his face from the Hesperides dragon like in the book, (which I have heard people complain a lot about) everything else about him was awesome. His acting was brilliant, and the scene where he’s talking about how much he hates his Dad (Hermes) it seemed like he really meant it. And his fighting at the end of the film was cool. (I’ll say no more here.)

[...taken out because of spoilers...]

All in all, if you’re a perfectionist who needs to see the actual book page for page put on screen you might be disappointed. But, if you can live with the changes that they made, and just accept it for what it is, a screen adaption of the book. NOT THE ACTUAL BOOK, then you will enjoy this awesome flick. Like Mr. Titley the screenwriter said: “The book and movie are two completely different beasts, if you made the book completely into a movie you would get too long of a movie. You need to make cuts and changes to make it a movie” I completely agree with the statement.

This film is absolutely worth going to see, and I will be seeing it again with my family this weekend. I strongly recommend this film to all moviegoers, Percy Jackson reader or not, go see this film! It’s fun for the whole family!!

Our verdict? 5 out of 5 stars! Enjoy the film and let us know what you thought of The Lightning Thief!!!!!
