Important News - 'Click' Final Chapter

I owe you guys a MASSIVE apology.

I'm really sorry I haven't updated Click in so long. The chapter has been a long time coming, and I've been so busy this year that my school work just has to take priority. I've written 7,000 words of Click: Chapter 7 so far, and it's only about half-way through.

If you don't know what Click is, it's my Percabeth story! Check it out here :)


And this is where YOU wonderful beans come in.


Do you -

a) Want me to post what I have of Chapter 7 now, and then extend Click to last for eight chapters?

or

b) Wait until I finish the whole of Chapter 7 (I'm not sure when this will be?)

I'd LOVE it if you could get in touch - either by commenting, or through ff.net - to let me know which you'd rather I did. Asap would be AMAZING!

Thank you to all who've stuck with Click, waiting for me to write it. I'm sorry, guys!

Love,

PJO MOVIE REVIEW ~*MAJOR SPOILER ALERT* ~

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR MOVIE! DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IN THE MOVIE...OKAY?

SPOILER ALERT!

You can't say I didn't warn you.
























Okay.

I'll do this in lists.

Things I Liked About The Film

- LOGAN. Okay. I have to say it. HE IS THE PERFECT PERCY JACKSON. He is actually amazing in it. Not just in looks, either - he's convincing and really endearing, completely hilarious at times and gives an AMAZING performance. The bits with him and Gabe were GREAT, those were my favourite. The Sally/Percy/Gabe dynamic was the best working relationship of the film. I LOVE HIM. The kid needs a major career, I'm telling you. Best lines ~ "I really should be on medication..." And the giggling. He has a great giggle. He also seems to hug, like, EVERYONE in the film XD

- BRANDON. I was sceptical when he was first cast, but I shouldn't have been - he was by far the funniest character as Grover, and again very convincing. It was like the script-writer had given everyone else the crappy lines and saved all the good ones for Brandon. Best lines (there were many to choose from) ~ "Burning money? In a recession? That's gotta be like treason or something..." "Don't kill them! Don't kill them! Those are working class Americans!" Plus, he's a total pervert in this film, which weirdly I kind of liked :)

- THE CGI. Epic.

- HADES. He was amusing.

- THE GODS' BRITISH ACCENT. I just thought it was cool that they were all English. :)

- GABE. He was perfect. Best line ~ "It was when my stepson turned to drink and drugs it all went wrong..." Percy: Oh, man...

- LUKE. Some didn't like him, others hated his guts, but personally I thought he was pretty good.

- CAMP HALF BLOOD. Really amazing set - it was gorgeous. The Capture the Flag game was JUST like I imagined it.

- MEDUSA. Uma Thurman rocked, man. And the woman running around her emporium was like something out of a horror movie...

Bits I Did Not Like
- ALEXANDRA DADDARIO. Meh. She wasn't the WORST... She was just average. She wasn't the Annabeth we knew - if anything, she was kind of lack-lustre.

-PERCABETH. It was kind of hinted at... And then besmirched. Meh. Unaided by the fact that Daddario is NOT Annabeth Chase.

- SCRIPTING. Possibly the weakest element of the film. Craig Titley should be ashamed - the script was dire and cheesy, with the most cliche ridiculous nonsense littering the scenes. Meh.

- THE BIT WHERE THEY GOT DRUGGED. That was just weird. Though I liked Logan's giggle.

- THE MUSIC. The Lady Gaga song did NOT fit in, neither did the Grover dancingness! Plus the score was completely generic and unoriginal - it marred potentially good scenes. And someone said, "Good luck, you're on a highway to hell." So the song Highway To Hell started playing. *sigh*

- THE FACT THAT DADDARIO HAD HER HANDS ALL OVER LOGAN. No fair. ;)

- THE GODS' SIZE. They were HUGE - when Percy and Annabeth spoke to them, it looked like something out of Honey I Shrunk The Kids.

- THE CHEESE. All kind of cheesy.

- PERCY'S MOM. I liked her a lot, but it was the way Percy seemed not very upset his mum had died for like most of the film...

- THE CORNY POSEIDON/PERCY MEETING. I thought the bit in the book where Poseidon and Percy met was BRILLIANT, but in the movie it was cliche and dull.

- THE ABSENCE OF KRONOS. Luke was kind of trying to overthrow the earth...on his own. Which was kind of lame.

- CHIRON. Pierce Brosnan. You were god-awful.

- FAILURE TO EXPLAIN ANYTHING. They didn't explain anything at all. They skimmed over Chiron's amazing explanations and stuff. Not chuffed.

Major Plot Changes

- The whole plot is the three demigods (Alex, Logan, Brandon) travelling to find 'Persephone's Pearls', which are hidden across America which will allow them to escape from the Underworld
- Poseidon stayed with Sally and Percy when he was a baby, but this was turning him into a mortal (?) so Zeus decreed Gods couldn't see their kids. Um..no.
- No Kronos. Lame, lame, lame.
- No Ares! That was a shame, I really liked him.
- The Hydra features, Proscrutes and the Chimera do not, nor does the Denver Waterpark stuff... All they do is go to a modern-day Parthenon, a casino in Vegas (Lotus Casino) and Medusa's lair, which was a bit of a disappointment.
- You know the heartbreaking decision Percy has to make, to leave his mom behind in the Underworld? Well, he doesn't have to make it. GROVER stays behind, then Zeus brings him back. Weird.
- Persephone coming on to Grover. Sexually inappropriate.
- The whole Logan holding Alex's hand when he was in the pool. Weeeeeeeird.
- Luke's confession that he was the lightning thief. It was dull.

Overall rating - 6/10, for pure entertainment value and the fact that Logan is the most talented thing since sliced bread.




But I might see it again. JUST for Logan's sake :)
