I agree. But I was particularly disappointed that the whole underlying segment of the total 5-story arc -- why Luke really stole the bolt -- was completely ignored. Way to set up any sequels.  |
Yeah, it was stolen during the winter solstice, and Zeus was convinced Poseidon stole the bolt. Since gods can't steal from each other directly, Zeus figured Poseidon used a human--just didn't know who. Zeus figured it was Percy because 1) he was in New York during the winter holidays and 2) Poseidon claimed Percy.
I agree with the idea of how they are going to set up the sequels. At the time of the movie, I was HORRIFIED that they used Luke as the person who gave Percy the bolt, but now that i've read more of the books (currently on 3, getting ready for 4) I can see why they would chose him over Ares. But to completely leave out Kronos/Tartarus is really forsaking the whole plot of all the later books....especially with the plot twist of book 2.
I wonder if they will even try a second movie?
