* IdiotBall: The Lightning Thief still holding that lightning bolt while against ''someone who can wield water.'''' On a quest that consistently involves events from Greek Mythology, Annabeth (who is supposed to be the goddess of wisdom's daughter) enters the Lotus Casino and eats the Lotus blossoms inside, after she is saved she figures out that they are the lotus eaters from the Odyssey.
Added DiffLines:
* IdiotBall: Oh my Zeus, so many characters love it. Luke trying to imprison the son of Poseidon on a boat, Luke not searching Percy for his sword disguised as a pen when he ties him up, Percy and his brother hugging instead of stopping the Golden Fleece from resurrecting Kronos, the group crying over Annabelle's body even though they've just gotten the fleece that can heal anyone or anything. Every bad guy saying that Percy can't stop them because he's destined to destroy Mount Olympus even though the prophecy explicitly states he will have the chance to save it. The plot wouldn't move at all if the goddess of wisdom had been a bit more generous with her gift.

!!Tropes which only apply to the film:
* AdaptationDyeJob: Annabeth's hair was brunette like her actress, Alexandra Daddario. She however dyes it partially blonde for the sequel.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Unlike the books, which averted EverybodyHatesHades, he is a villain in the movie, although not the main villain, which is Luke.
* AffablyEvil: Medusa, more or less.
* BarbieDollAnatomy: Film Grover. He's good for a laugh for anyone with a passing knowledge of Greek satyrs. Couldn't they have just given him a loincloth?
* BlackVikings: Grover could pass. After all, he isn't ancient. Persephone on the other hand is pushing the political correctness scale a bit.
** Persephone has reasoning, as Artemis in the books says the gods can change their appearance, and we see Hades change from Mick Jagger to a Belrog/Chernabog lovechild and back in the underworld.
** Actually, Ancient Greece ''did'' in fact have black people. I know, shocker. They were very widespread, since Greece was, you guessed it, a trading country. So the BlackVikings trope isn't even really in place.
* ChekhovsGun: Medusa's severed head is shown to be used against Gabe at the end as a BrickJoke.
* CompositeCharacter: Though it has never been stated outright, movie Annabeth has Clarisse' first major scene, personality, and hair color. She's really more Clarisse than she is Annabeth.
** [[spoiler:Film!Luke takes over Ares' role as the person who duped Percy into taking the Bolt to Hades.]]
* DawsonCasting: Played with in case of the lead character: in-story, Percy was aged from 12 to 16 to match LoganLerman's age. This is not as bad as many other examples, but many fans weren't happy with this decision. Also, wrap your head around this: Annabeth is about 13 in the book, 16 in the movie, and Daddario is 24 in real life!
* EstrogenBrigadeBait: LoganLerman makes his bid at becoming a teen sex symbol.
* EverybodyHatesHades: Gets off comparatively easy compared to some other adaptations. He makes his first appearance as a fiery demon type thing, but it's pretty clear that that was just for show. Much is made of him being abusive but that's not really much in evidence. He is an asshole though. He offers to let Percy and co. go in exchange for Zeus' lightning bolt, but when he gets it he tries to kill them.
* FauxActionGirl: Annabeth. Despite supposedly being the best fighter in the camp, she's easily beaten by Percy once he's told how to use his powers, is completely helpless against Medusa, isn't able to recognise when they've been enticed by the lotus eaters until ''after'' they escape (due to Percy), and does nothing during the final battle.
* TheFilmOfTheBook
* GorgeousGorgon: Medusa, played by UmaThurman.
* GRatedDrug: The Lotus Hotel in the film. While in the book, it was the [[LotusEaterMachine arcade games]] that kept you there, the film has them literally [[Literature/TheOdyssey eat lotus blossoms]] during their stay. This is treated as them getting high.
-->Annabeth: I think I figured it out, I know why we're here.
-->Percy: Why are we here?
-->Annabeth: To '''HAVE FUN!'''
* InformedAbility: We are told that Annabeth is a wise combat schemer, probably a combat pragmatist, but in the movie she offers no actual aid to the heroes and just kind of acts like a tag-along child with specks of damsel in distress. All the combat and ideas on how to solve problems are given by Percy the only exception being the idea to keep Medusa's head for later.
* InformedFlaw: Percy's ADHD (apparently severe enough to put him into a special school) doesn't seem to affect his life in any way.
* InNameOnly: The many examples listed on this page show just how different the film changes from the original source material.
* MacGuffin: The three pearls they need to get home.
* MsFanservice:
** Medusa played by UmaThurman. Because apparently, when Athena cursed her good looks with the snake hair, she didn't curse her badly enough?
** RosarioDawson as Persephone. "Never had a satyr..."
* MushroomSamba: The effect of the lotus blossoms, apparently.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Percy slicing off the Hydra's heads, not knowing that it would come back with ten instead of five.
* ProductPlacement: Apple products. Also, when Percy, Annabeth, and Grover go to see Luke on how to get into the Underworld, he's playing Modern Warfare 2, more specifically the "Favela" map on the [=OpFor=] side.
* TheQueensLatin / AliensOfLondon: The gods all have British accents in the movie.
* RaceLift: This was done to Grover, Hephaestus, and Persephone.
* RockMeAsmodeus: {{Invoked}}. Hades has the appearance and mannerisms of a Music/HeavyMetal star.
* RunningGag: Grover getting flirted with by hot girls, from the camp to the ''underworld'' counts.
* SadlyMythtaken: The story centers around a summer solstice deadline, but Persephone is shown living in the underworld with Hades--something that's supposed to happen during the fall and winter months. What makes it stand out more is that she ''does'' acknowledge that she gets time away from Hades... though exactly ''when'' that is is never expanded on.
* SassyBlackWoman: Oh, Persephone...
* ShirtlessScene: Remember those two scenes with Percy swimming, which was the first thing shown in the commercial? It wasn't in the book.
* ShoutOut: While passing the river of lost dreams thing in Hades, one can see a [[Film/CitizenKane little sled]] floating by.
* TitleDrop: Count the number of times they say some variation of "Lightning Thief" in this movie.
