Percy Jackson And The Lightning Thief Movie: Which One I Prefer

I prefer the book to the movie. I liked the part in the book where Percy dueled with Ares. That part was full of suspense and tension. That was also when Percy's true abilities and powers were awakened. Unfortunately, this whole part was left out in the movie. Although this did not affect the storyline, I thought that this scene would have enabled the director to bring out more of Percy's character.
