#PERCY JACKSON LIGHTNING THIEF MOVIE REVIEW MOVIE#
And oh my god, this is the most inaccurate movie ever. But a year or two later I started reading the books, so I wanted to see how accurate this movie was. When I first watched this movie, I enjoyed it too.
When I went to check the reviews for this movie, I was shocked to see how many people have liked it. Even the author of the source novels, Rick Riordan, has publicly disavowed it.
The supporting cast is loaded and Chris Columbus is on-board as both producer and director, so clearly the studio had every intention of mining this as the next big multi-film adaptation, but the effects stink, the story is dreary and there's no sparkle between the core players. The main characters' maturity levels, their frequent romantic teases and the plot's dusty historical influences seem to indicate it's geared for early teens, but the overly simplistic plot and colorless dialogue gives the impression it's aimed at a much younger audience. He's then whisked away to a summer camp for demigods, crash-coursed on current events atop Mount Olympus, mired in a messy dispute between deities and sent on a whiplash road trip with two friends.Ī teenaged Harry Potter for Greek mythology buffs, in other words, only I can't tell which age range it's intended for. A troubled high school student learns he is the lost son of Poseidon when, during a field trip to the natural history museum, his substitute teacher suddenly sprouts wings and tries to chew his face off.
