In the movie 'Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief', Medusa's character is portrayed differently and inaccurately to original mythology. Uma Thurman's Medusa in the film has a different background story as to how she was cursed and a different relationship with Poseidon who was played by Kevin McKidd. Her appearance in the movie has also been altered to fit the modern time in which the film was set in rather than being shown in a more monstrous form with clothing from the ancient Greek times.
