Re: The Lightning Thief

that all depends on how much money the first one raked in at the box office, and how many dvd sales it gets

Re: The Lightning Thief

movies turned into books generally have some differences...

parts that work well in long-version in a book do not always work well in a movie...

for example, in a book, thoughts are shown, but in a movie, that is not possible...

also, every movie based on a book tends to have some adaption decay... some more than others (like "eragon" that one had severe adaption decay...)

we've yet to see this one, so we cant judge here...

Re: The Lightning Thief

Hmm... We just got around to watching this one... (We've had it laying around for over 70 days now...)

Not bad movie for being an adaption of a book... (Adaptions are, unfortunately, often horrible)

Far less adaption decay than most such movies have, even if many details were removed from the story in the book... (like the part about whom his father was being hidden in the books, but common knowledge in the movie...)

We did like that they fit in the practical use for medusa's head at the end...
