OMFG THIS MOVIE WAS SO AWESOME XD and no, it wasn’t too much like Harry Potter just because there’s two guys and one girl =_= come on, how many stories are like that? A LOT. Anyways, I like how they put so much Greek mythology into it, there was like nymphs and everything but it was so interesting to see mythology play out in a modern setting, in the city xD
I think the actors played their parts really well in general and so were the graphics O.o god it was awesome seeing Percy use his powers, it was so epic xD also, if you consider the budget, it was really good. There were times when I was comparing this to my perception of Greek gods that I got from watching Disney’s Hercules xD bad idea.
One thing I really loved about this movie was how funny it was. Grover especially. He kind of reminded me of Donkey from Shrek, only he wasn’t as talkative/annoying xDD oh and the trip to the Underworld? Funny as hell~ (wait till you see Hades, I laughed xDD) I’d have to say that one of my favorite parts was when they killed Medusa. Speaking of which, Medusa was done really well. Although if you wanna get technical, she was supposed to have been killed by Perseus (cough cough Percy cough) in old times (and then have Pegasus magically spring out from her neck), but eh, it was still mad awesome xD
I do hope they continue the Percy Jackson series. Since unlike Harry Potter, each book is a whole separate adventure.
RECOMMENDED~~ …if you like this kind of stuff

The Lightning Thief makes the idea of a sequel seem like an inviting proposition.

Haven’t watched this yet. But when I saw the trailer, I think I might. And besides, I love Mythology! :3 Heehee!
