Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

Percy Jackson is a really lively film but could have been better. All the ideas were there, the tales were nice and even entertaining. But the acting was not fantastic and it seemed like a tale of short stories without much connection. Most of the stories were well-known like the Medusa, the Hydra and the Lotus eaters. It was not a bad movie and we found ourselves really entertained. It is a movie for the young but not so young.

The story is based on the Greek Mythology. Gods come to earth in human bodies and have kids with humans and they become sons of god or demigods. Then they leave and the kids are raised by humans until they are old enough to be sent to a place for demigods where they train and become heroes.

It had a solid start in the cinemas so we should expect to see more in the same line based on the 5 books of the collection.

We give 3.5 out of 5 for Percy Jackson.
