My thoughts:
The original Riordan book is a fast read for reluctant readers and they easily get sucked into the series, but the movie, for those kids that need the visual stimulation of a big screen event, this was a total flop, especially for those of us who invested time and effort into reading the series. Everyone expects directors to change the story a little to make the time frame, but changing key facts is a NO-NO.
This version is a great starting point that feeds the need for pictures, but still synthesizes Riordan's text in a satisfying way.
Like many graphic novel adaptations, it's sometimes a killer to wait for the next book, so please - get on it.
