based on?
#1: Faithfulness to the Original Source Material
#2: Character Development and Portrayal

#4: Overall Cinematic Quality
#5: Viewer Engagement and Enjoyment
Create a thesis that clearly addresses what product, service, or provider is being evaluated, an
assertion that indicates your judgment, and foreshadows the argument you will be making to
support this assertion. Remember that your thesis statement is ONE sentence that includes the
product/service/provider, the assertion (good purchase or not), and the three criteria used.
Thesis Statement: The film adaptation of Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
falls short of being a faithful representation of the beloved literary work, with compromised
character development, a departure from the original dialogue's charm, and a struggle to
maintain the overall cinematic quality, leaving enthusiasts longing for a more genuine and
immersive cinematic experience.
