Percy Jackson

If you didn't know, I am totally obsessed with the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan. They are so awesome and action packed, and lots of funny parts mixed in with Greek Mythology. Recently, Chris Columbus, is directing the movie of the first Percy Jackson book, The Lightning Thief. Of course I'm gonna watch it, its just that.... the choices for the actors STINK. They STINK. For example, the worst choice of all of them is Annabeth Chase. In the first book, Annabeth is 12 years old, stormy gray eyes, curly blond hair, with a nice tan. She's also taller than the main character, Percy. The thing is, out of all the curly haired blond actresses, they had to choose Alexandra Daddario. She's 19, straight haired brunette, and she's pretty plae if you ask me. The only thing she has is the gray eyes, but anyone can have gray eyes. USE CONTACTS. Anyway, the only actor who doesn't REALLY stink, is Jake Abel, who plays Luke. He doesn't stink because he actually looks like his character!! So I'd like to see Chris Columbus to deliver a punch in the face for making my favorite book, stink. THe movie comes out next year, but I'm only going to see it to confirm what I already know- IT STINKS.

  1. I disagree.

    They don't stink. But I agree (obviously) that they don't match the book.

  3. I agree. And it's not Chris Columbus's fault. Blame the casting directors.

  4. What? A 19 year old for a 12 year old?! She'd better be short! And Jake Abel is kinda cute :)

  5. She's NOT short, and she's actually like 23 or something. The guy who plays Percy (also a 12-year-old) is like 17. *smashes head on wall*
