There's a huge difference between reading it on paper and watching the story unfold on a screen. Mixed reactions on how a viewer would imagine the characters based on what he or she reads about them and how the director would employ actors to portray such characters. Normally, when I've read a book, I tend to shy away from the movie so I won't get my first experience of the story overridden by a second. Although today, either by sheer peer pressure or inhumane boredom, I started a series I've already read, and to be honest, I was quite impressed.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians🔱
*** ### Plot > Gods, goddesses, demigods and monsters are real, the whole ancient Greek magical world is covered by the mist, a curtain which distracts regular humans from the magical happenings around them. Percy is a 12 year old boy, who throughout his childhood has been able to see through the mist, now just discovering he's part of that greek magical world, a demigod and a powerful one at that. He has been given a quest, return the stolen master bolt, and save the world from a war between the two mightiest gods. *** There was an earlier Percy Jackson movie which totally ruined it for me and plenty others. The first movie, although being released just after the success of the book was an eyesore to watch. So many improvisations with the characters, the monsters and the stories that it didn't even seem like the book it was trying to emulate anymore. Regardless, this one was a bit better, and a lot easier to swallow and keep down as a viewer who **has** read the book. *** ####What I Liked☑️
All in all, every other major character was portrayed well, including Mr D or Dionysus who was just as obnoxious and annoyingly rude as one would picture him in their heads😂💕.
- Sticking to the Book
This particular series, although fast paced stuck pretty close to the books main plot and that was just beautiful for me to see. I immediately recognized instances that I had imagined when reading the book being played out with the help of CGI and I was grateful.
What I Didn't Like🚫
*** ##### - The Allowances for Audience Cultural pleasing Now this is something I've noticed that's all in the rage for movies coming from Disney these days, this and the raging LGBTQ movement. The idea that all races should be in a production is both wrong and well in my view racist. For why would someone who was portrayed as a white blond American female look like someone out of Blackish? Of course Riordan put out a statement that Annabeth being black portrays the true spirit he had for her in the books... > Total paid off rubbish to me...If she was meant to be black in the books, she would have been described to be black like how Charles Beckendorf and Hazel Levesque were. Regardless what's done is done and the series still rocked. It was just something that really annoyed me at first.
Overall Review
*** *** This Percy Jackson Series was a lot of fun to watch, despite it's new looks and annoying changes, it's the same story that viewers read and loved. A stunning 7 out of 10 stars from me.
ESPANOL
*** *** Hay una gran diferencia entre leerlo en papel y ver cómo se desarrolla la historia en una pantalla. Reacciones encontradas sobre cómo un espectador imaginaría a los personajes en función de lo que lee sobre ellos y cómo el director emplearía actores para interpretarlos. Normalmente, cuando leo un libro, tiendo a alejarme de la película para no anular mi primera experiencia de la historia por un segundo. Aunque hoy, ya sea por pura presión de grupo o por aburrimiento inhumano, comencé una serie que ya había leído y, para ser sincero, quedé bastante impresionado. *** ##Percy Jackson y los olímpicos🔱
Lo que me gustó☑️
En general, todos los demás personajes principales fueron bien retratados, incluido el Sr. D o Dioniso, que era tan desagradable y molestamente grosero como uno se lo imaginaría en sus cabezas😂💕.
- Cumplir con el libro
Esta serie en particular, aunque tiene un ritmo rápido, se apegó bastante a la trama principal del libro y fue hermoso de ver para mí. Inmediatamente reconocí instancias que había imaginado al leer el libro con la ayuda de CGI y me sentí agradecido.
Lo que no me gustó🚫
*** ##### - Las asignaciones para el placer cultural del público Ahora bien, he notado que esto es algo que está de moda en las películas provenientes de Disney en estos días, esto y el furioso movimiento LGBTQ. La idea de que todas las razas deberían estar en una producción es errónea y, en mi opinión, racista. Porque, ¿por qué alguien que fue retratado como una mujer estadounidense rubia y blanca parecería alguien salido de Blackish? Por supuesto, Riordan emitió una declaración de que el hecho de que Annabeth fuera negra retrata el verdadero espíritu que tenía para ella en los libros... > Totalmente pagado basura para mí...Si estuviera destinada a ser negra en los libros, se la habría descrito como negra como Charles Beckendorf y [Hazel Levesque](https:// rickriordan.com/character/hazel-levesque/#:~:text=Hazel%20Levesque%20is%20one%20of,sister%20of%20Nico%20di%20Angelo.) fueron. Independientemente de lo hecho, hecho, la serie aún fue genial. Fue algo que realmente me molestó al principio.
Revisión general
*** *** Esta serie de Percy Jackson fue muy divertida de ver, a pesar de su nueva apariencia y cambios molestos, es la misma historia que los espectadores leyeron y amaron. Un impresionante 7 de 10 estrellas de mi parte.
