I have read the series and I have some friends that are extremely addicted so I might go see it with them. :) Plus I don't have school on President Day! :) That is a good opportunity.

I don't know. Never heard of the book series. Just like I never heard of Spiderwick or Narnia until their movies came out. That, and the title got a 'bookish' feel to it.

Wait.... so they actually use the Greek Gods? Urge to go rising..... but I got the feeling they won't show the funny parts, like Zeus' infedelity and his, er.... creative ways to court women.

Haha, actually to get the extra credit I have to see it, and then write a short review about the similarities and differences in the original myths and the gods presented in the movie. So that's what I'll mostly be watching for XD

What?! Lucky. You people get extra credit for watching a movie that was made for pure entertainment. I haven't gotten the chance to watch the movie yet but I could tell from the trailer that there were many differences from the book.

I know! Annabeth is blonde! I wonder how different the movie would be if they actually got 12 year old actors. Haha. I'm remember the first Harry Potter movie.
