Movie Report on the Percy Jackson
MOVIE REPORT: “Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters”
Last Thursday, November 14, 2013, we watched Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, a movie adaptation from the book entitled the same.
Basically, the movie is about mythology, specifically, Greek Mythology. It tackles of the different “gods” of the past, their powers, origin, life, and more. Different creatures such as Titans, Cyclops, and Hecatoncheires were also shown. The movie, therefore, is truly a great way for people to be entertained while giving them tons of information about what might as well been the history of the world.
At first, I thought that the movie would be just like any other adventure and action tales, based too, on my classmates’ comments about the book. I thought it wouldn’t be that interesting for I already know a little about Greek Mythology. But I was definitely wrong. I haven’t read the book from where the movie came from nor watched the movie itself, but I know that the story revolves around the said mythology and that the characters are basically the so-called “gods”. But the movie, or the book, is more than that. It makes you visualize what the ancient gods might really look like. It shows people of the powers they possess and how they use them promptly to maintain the balance of the world. Moreover, the movie doesn’t only give people entertainment by the story of fiction it offers, but it also educates people in terms of history and myths.
The movie is packed with the right doses of action, adventure, and comedy. The movie is definitely, not in any way, boring. It is the kind of movie where you would really be focused on and where you wouldn’t want to lose sight of. The story is not purely fictional. And that’s what I love about this movie, about its book. It does not just give entertainment; it also gives knowledge and understanding to people. It also is one way for people to remember and give importance to history.
Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, the movie I would recommend

    Percy Jackson is the main protagonist of the last Olympian. Percy isn’t greed at because he turned down god hood. “Oh, not you although I suppose I should wonder turning down immorality” (Riordan, 355) after defeating Kronos he was given a offer to be a god. He is also funny “With great power... comes great need to take a nap. Wake me up later”. Making funny remark and one liner makes him a funny character in general, this funny one liner was said after he obtained the curse of Achilles and they were outside the underworld. Percy is also caring for his friends and he would do anything to protect them. "You're cute when you get worried; your eyebrows get all scrunched together."(Riordan, 199) this was after Percy’s friend Annabeth was fatally…

    Imagine being a demigod and able to heal from water. That is what Percy Jackson can do in The Sea of Monsters. They obtained their demigod powers from their god or goddess parent. Percy Jackson and his demigod buds are descendents from greek god or goddesses. The Puritans would abhor the novel The Sea of Monsters due to characters disrespecting authority, having superhuman powers, and being self reliant.…

    The movie would be great, if one had not read the book. Upon reading the book, you notice that many characters were deleted, therefore shortning the story, monsters were added from the second book, and some parts were changed. The movie is your typical hollywood love story with a happy ending. The book is more action packed and leaves you wanting to read the rest of the series.Reading the book explains more in greater details and hints the retain of a greater evil that could possibly be the work of a "supposedly dead" Kronos (King of the titans and father of the…

    It showed how the myth of Hercules could have actually happened, but it isn’t backed up by fact. Hercules again is the son of Zeus and Alcmena and again Hera wanted him dead, so she sent the two snakes to kill him and they didn’t. Hercules had a wife and three children, but in this retelling he can’t remember anything from the night they died. After that, Hercules worked as a mercenary to complete the 12 labors, which are mentioned throughout the movie, but never all at once or in great detail. Unlike in Hamilton’s book, Hercules had companions on these adventures and he was doing these things for money. The labors themselves, like killing the Hydra, were not as they seemed. The people in the movie believed he had actually killed a monster, but it was actually men disguised. The main storyline of the movie revolves around the city of Thrace, where the king has hired Hercules and his companions to defeat Rhesus, a man who they are told is terrorizing villages and farms. Like in Hamilton's book, Hercules prevails and defeats his opponent, however, he soon realizes that something is amiss. Unlike in Hamilton’s book, Hercules is clever as well as strong. Rhesus tells Hercules that he has been fighting for the wrong side, that it is the King who is destroying and taking villages. Hercules and most of his companions decided to stay and fight against the king; they were captured and almost killed by Cerberus, who is actually just three separate wolves. But, when Hercules remembers how his family died, by another man, King Eurystheus, who is working with the king, he is empowered (Eurystheus also appears in Hamilton's version, however he is not working with Hera in this story). Hercules escapes with his companions due to his use of strength and together they kill Eurystheus and the King, saving Thrace and it’s people. Unlike in the other versions so far,…

    While not always being accurate or containing the same material, it was entertaining. I really enjoyed how I could tell what was a part of the real story and what was a part of the movie. I liked how Methuselah was involved a lot more, he did not look 900 years old though. Noah was depicted well until he went crazy, deranged killer on his granddaughters and almost killed them. They didn’t have the length of the bible story, but that is kind of obvious as a movie can’t last for years.…

    Before reading the book I already had a general idea of what was bound to happen within the story as I was brave enough to watch it last year starring Daniel Radcliff as Arthur Kipps which ruins the book for me . However reading the book was still interesting and enjoyable because the film is not exactly shown what’s on the book. The movie helped me picture the characters such as Radcliff within the story .…
