Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010)
Did they even read it?
If you've read the book you may be left wondering what you just watched. Great cast but not so great casting and a terrible script, that's so far from the source material that they should've changed the title to 'Loosely based on some story once written about a guy called Percy Jackson'.
Huge parts of the story were ignored and replaced by dialogue and scenes that didn't even happen anywhere in the original literature, and these were completely unnecessary changes that didn't improve or enhance the plot in any way. It's a real shame.
If only they'd stuck to the story, it could've been great.
Static (2012)
Slow, slow, slow....and then it's over!
Was looking forward to this one as recognised some of the actors and although it started out well, it quickly descended into the realms of bland and predictable. What can I say other than its all been done before.......and been done better!
We watched it to the end because my husband was following it but I will admit that I was so bored that I really couldn't care less about what was going on! Needless to say it was no surprise that the whole thing was finished off with one of the worst endings in movie history! An ending which resulted in much cursing and ranting form my other half as up until this point he had been enjoying it! I'm sure the filmmakers intention was to end with a shocking twist but it just fell totally flat, an achievement in itself considering the already horizontal nature of the plot!
Great if you are having trouble sleeping.......zzzzzzzzzzz...........
