    Looks pretty epic in my opinion. I have all the books signed, so I might as well stay loyal to it and watch it ;D
    What do you guys think?

    Yea I really want to see it! I never read any of the books though.. were they good? If I really like a book and they make it into a movie, I almost always hate the movie because they usually leave out a lot of stuff.

    It sure does... it looks good though. I'm a huge Harry Potter fan so I'll probably be bias when I watch it. Now I'll probably be focusing on trying to find similarities and ruin the whole movie for myself XD

    Hehe well I think it looks pretty good! :)
    I fail to see how it's a Harry Potter ripoff though.

    not really a ripoff, but it seems like its trying to be the same thing, but nothing will ever be as big as harry potter

    even the style of the title looks like its copying harry potter

    harry potter and the olympians...hmmm

    Aahahha.. I prefer to watch movies in the cinemas first... or DVD. just incase the err, online version is crap quality, kinda makes the movie not as good.

    Same here! I don't think it does a movie any justice to watch it online... it's just not the same lol.

    Oh, well then I guess that's not as bad as what I'm picturing it to be in my head :p I still think it doesn't have quite the same effect as it would in a surround sound theatre ;)

    I just made my major big mistake! I posted another topic about this and it got closed. Should have checked for it. BAD! That's why everyone hates me.

    BTW, I would like to find a chick just like Annabeth!!! <3

    and I hated the part with the pen that transforms in a sword thingy

    I had never heard of the book series but this movie looks pretty great. a year ago I would have said epic, but that went from being my thing to being the cliche internet thing. tis truly a shame

    Never read the book, but the movie was soooo bad (to be honest). I probably won't be reading the book after this.

    Oh, and the lightning thief was very predictable ;)
