Coming soon! On February 12 at 12:01 PM. And guess who's going to be there. Yep! Yours truly! I've got a ticket for the first showing. I am soooo excited!My best friend, my little sister, and I are going together. My friend and I got matching Percy Jackson shirts and they are so awesome! We promised not to wear them until the midnight showing. I've reread the series again. I'll probably reread Lightning Thief one more time before I go see the movie.
Today we went to a Percy Jackson release party at the book store. It was mostly for little kids but it was still fun. We got to read the first chapter of Rick Riordan's new series. The first book is coming out in March. It sounded pretty good. It doesn't have anything to do with Percy Jackson. I don't think it will be quite as good as the Percy Jackson series is, but it will still probably be pretty good. The first chapter was pretty interesting. I'd like to read the whole book when it comes out. At, the party, I won a Percy Jackson poster and a few collectors cards, one of Percy and one of Poseidon.
The director, Chris Columbus, changed the age of the characters. In the book they are twelve. In the movie they are seventeen. A lot of fans are angry about it, but I agree with the director. He says that some of the things the kids say in the books didn't sound like something a twelve year old would say. I think he's right. Raising the ages of the kids doesn't really bother me that much. The director says he is also making the fight things scarier, where in the book they were funny and sometimes silly. I think this could be an improvement if they are done well.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the movie. I hope it is good and that it will be worth the wait. I only have a few more days to wait!
