I didn't get to watch this movie at the cinema. So, it's good to catch it on a DVD over the weekend.Percy Jackson & the Olympians is a series of fantasy novels. This movie, The Lightning Thief is adapted from the first novel.
Here's a short synopsis: Percy Jackson, the son of Poseidon is accused of stealing Zeus' lightning bolt. Unaware of his status as a demigod living in the 21st century, Percy soon finds himself caught between angry and battling Olympian gods, especially with Hades who abducted his mother.
Left without choice, Percy and his friends embark on a cross-country adventure to catch the true lightning thief, save his mom, and unravel a mystery more powerful than the gods themselves.
Compared to Clash of the Titans, this movie definitely has a better storyline and not as crappy. I'd say it's amusing and entertaining, a no-brainer. It'd be good if you're somewhat familiar with the names of the Olympian gods (Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Athena, Aphrodite, Hermes, etc) and the mythical creatures (Minotaur, Centaur, Medusa, Hydra, etc).
Verdict: Get a copy and watch it if you haven't done so. :)

It was a pretty entertaining movie. Thank goodness, it didn't go 3D like other shows...
ReplyDeleteI'm getting sick of those quick & cheap conversions from 2D to 3D gimmicks by the big film studios these days..
True enough. 3D gimmicks are getting too much after Avatar's huge success.
