Pretty Good
... View MoreIt’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
... View MoreA great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
... View MoreBy the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
... View MoreIt was boring from start to finish. I hate a movie that after your done watching you feel like you wasted time of your life. I was planning on doing marathon and watch all the movies. Now I am just gonna go ahead and delete the second one from now.DONT WATCH THIS movie if you value your life!
... View MoreWhen I first watched it at theater, I thought it was good. I give it 9/10. When I got older, some of my friends were complaining how horrible it was. So, I finally read the book, and I was same position that they were in. They should had stick to book. I give this a 6 because of some humor and very few similar to the book.
... View MoreI had read the book and was expecting a decent movie, however, this movie was horrible. Don't waste your time on it. It is completely different from the book and Annabeth looked 20, not 12. I understand that being able to include everything is practically impossible, but adding new stuff is completely stupid. That was two hours of my life that I will never get back
... View MoreThis ill-fated 2010 adaptation of the very funny book Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief is trying so hard to Harry Potter the source material up, it isn't even funny. While the novel had HP elements in it, with the hero being sent to a summer camp for demigods as opposed to a school for wizards, it has enough distinct traits to make it stand out on its own, such as an irreverent sense of humor. As a Greek mythology fan, I just ate it up. This movie is trying hard to turn the children's oriented source into an edgy young adult epic, and it does not work at all.The whole movie is a mess, flopping between comedy and drama with no delicacy or grace in any way whatsoever. To make matters worse, much of the novel's humor is ripped out, replaced with bad jokes.Even as a work of entertainment separate from the original book, this is weak sauce. It's not clever or funny, exciting or emotionally involving. The actors seem lost. The visuals are not inspiring. Overall, it is a waste of time. Go watch a Harry Potter movie. Go watch Ridley Scott's Legend or the LOTR films. Do anything else.
