The directors definitely murdered the chance of the book series to become a movie saga hit. First, the casting was all screwed. In the Lightning Thief, Percy and the gang are only 12 years old. In the movie, they're 16! That's a huge 4 year age difference. Second, ANNABETH'S BLONDE! That was her image, which was completely destroyed. And not to be racist, but why were Grover and Persephone black? Wait... Persephone wasn't even supposed to be in there! Also, they left out so many important characters such as Clarisse and Ares, some of the main baddies that do appear in the following books. Even Nancy Bobofit wasn't there!
Next, was the plot. Percy was granted a quest; he did not leave without permission. Yes, Luke was the bad guy, but it was Ares that tricked Percy into having the Master Bolt. Third, the waterlady was supposed to give the kids the 3 pearls. They're "mission" wasn't supposed to gather up them up! The Lotus Casino, way to poker/ stripper clubb-y. It's supposed to be an arcade for kids! Down in the Underworld, Percy's mom was left behind, not Grover! Percy was also supposed to have a big battle with ARES not LUKE! Also, what about the Love Tunnel ride with spiders, the stretchy bed place, and Cerberus???
Despite all the stupid errors, I must admit the fighting scenes were pretty decent. Even though Clarisse was supposed to fight Percy in the beginning, not Annabeth. And what up with the random hydra? Wasn't that in book 2?!
This was a long response, but I just get really upset when directors ruin perfectly amazing books.
