I have not seen the movie, but I really enjoyed all of the books. Hoefully some of you can help me decide whether or not I should see the movie.

I've read all the books, and I really enjoyed them, but when I heard there's a movie coming out, I was skeptical about watching it, but these comments have really discouraged me to watch the movie. They made Grover black.

The book is way better, the movie is nothing like it.

Heck, even the Lotus Casino is nothing like the book. And Percy doesn't fight Ares!

I've read the books and haven't seen the movie yet.

But of course the movie isn't necessarily going to be like the book, you can't plan on comparing a movie to a book, books are usually better. If you do, you'll be disappointed by the movie.

the movie was better but the story was different from the book... the producer must have been lazy to read... lol.

The books are so good but the movie was not good at all. First of all, in the first book there supposed to be about 12. in the movie there like 16. The whole point in the movie was to get the pearls but in the book the pearls were hardly in it. The big fight was supposed to be against Ares and in the movie it was against Luke. They didn't find out Luke was evil until like the last page of the book and in the movie they did 20 minutes of fighting Luke. The book is 10x better.

The books and movie were both great, even though the movie didn't follow the story AT ALL. So I would say the books, but I like both.

I like the book way more than the movie, in my opinion the movie wasn't worth watching.
