Did Percy Jackson Rip Off Avatar’s Plot?

When you watch Percy Jackson and the Olympians : The Lightning Thief , you may start wondering if it ’s a uncoiled - up remake of Avatar . The patch similarities are uncanny after a while … almost like the Hand of Destiny is at workplace . mollycoddler …

conceive the storey of both motion picture : There ’s a guy , who ’s just a plain ordinary Joe , and he ’s vex a disability . But then he finds out that he ’s exceptional , and this allows him to go into a world of strange wight . And he turn out to be half - human , half - awe-inspiring . He suffer this warrior princess who ’s totally sorry - ass and amazing , but then the amazing skirt is into him , and she sees in him a total sizzling radness that even he did n’t get laid he possessed . presently he ’s kicking all kinds of ass — except that there ’s a thing , a sorting of invaluable source of tycoon . These people want to get their hands on it , and they ’ll destroy absolutely everything cool to get it . All that will be left will be full uncoolness . It ’s up to the average guy to step up and save everyone , while the amazing warrior princess spotter and admire him .

Dude ! They ’re like the same movie ! James Cameron should sue !

Of of course , that ’s also jolly close to Star Wars and Harry Potter and Eragon and a jillion other moving-picture show besides . Percy Jackson isthe usual paint - by - number “ hero sandwich ’s journey ” matter , Joseph Campbell decoct to a debauched - food for thought restaurant map . There ’s a fresh newfangled coat of paint and a smattering of Hellenic mythology slap on the erstwhile chassis , but at every breaker point in this film , you ’ll know exactly what ’s go to happen long beforehand .

Of naturally , the plot , or the story for that affair , are n’t really the power point in Percy Jackson . To its credit , this picture get it on it ’s a silly teen escapism movie , and at no degree does it even remotely seek to be anything more . Instead , all of its vigor go into produce the maximum amount of fatuousness and running through all the common cliches with absolute verve and judgment of conviction . Everybody necessitate in this film behaves as if this is the first prison term anybody ’s ever done a “ hero starts out as total nobody but terminate up being the most awesome ever ” story .

There was an awful lot of giggling from the audience during Percy Jackson , and it got tacky during the “ serious ” part of the film . This movie actually reminded me oflast year ’s Dragonball Evolution , in a good way . Both movies are a goofy , slaphappy ride , without much in the means of character maturation or plot wrench or anything like that . The acting in Percy is slightly less over the top than it was in Dragonball , thanks to a cast that includes Pierce Brosnan and Kevin McKidd — but the pic makes up for that by squeezing as much campiness as possible into every single shape .

Logan Lerman , playing Percy , basically spend the entire movie with his mouth hanging heart-to-heart as if he ’s in an unacknowledged Dude Where ’s My Car ? sequel . ( He does not make a convincing logical argument that he should wager Peter Parker , but that ’s all right . ) He does seize the audience ’s fellow feeling early on , thanks to his dyslexia and his hate for his Dursley - esque stepfather . ( And the account of why his mum is with his stepfather is one of the funniest affair I ’ve ever heard . ) The plastic film really picks up speed when Percy finds out he ’s a demi - god and his good champion Grover is a satyr , station to protect him . ( Brandon T. Jackson , playing Grover , is a less - annoying version of Marlon Wayans in Dungeons & Dragons . )

The real gold are all the scenes involving Annabeth , the daughter of Athena , who is a super rump - kicking chick and master of battle strategy ( although , ineluctably , her usefulness decreases over the course of the film , so Percy can be shown to become the One True Dude . ) If you ’re a connoisseur of scenes where the wedge sees a woman across a crowded field and is tell “ Nah , man , she ’s out of your league , ” followed by scenes where the hero whole blows her mind , then you ’ll have sex these — manager Chris Columbus puts a decent amount of effort into build up Annabeth as this total ass - kicking machine . And she ’s got majuscule hair , which the camera caresses over and over , and fictitious character even comment on how great Annabeth ’s pilus is .

Seriously , her hair really is great .

Percy , Grover and Annabeth go on a roadtrip in hunt of the widgets that will facilitate them deliver Percy ’s mommy , and along the way they stumble through the land of the Lotus Eaters ( a casino where demi - gods saltation to Lady Gaga . severely , so ridiculously awesomely preposterous . ) They encounter Medusa , a vampy Uma Thurman . They receive Hades ( Steve Coogan , who looks like he ’s about to campaign for a new series of Knowing Me , Knowing You at any bit . ) They campaign a whole CG Hydra in a museum .
