Added on July 22, 2009, 11:00 amPercy Jackson & The Olympians is a series of adventure and fantasy books by Rick Riordan. Set in the contemporary United States, the series is based prominently on Greek mythology. The series consists of five books, as well as spin-off titles called the The Demigod Files and Demigods and Monsters.

The protagonist is a 12 year-old boy named Percy Jackson who discovers that he is the son of Poseidon, god of the sea. He learns that the legendary beings of Greek mythology still exist, including Cyclopes, Empousai, Titans, and of course the Olympians (Greek gods) themselves who are in Olympus on the mythical 600th floor of the Empire State Building. Monsters frequently attack him because he is a child of one of the "Big Three" (the sons of Kronos: Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades). Percy meets many other young demigods, both friendly and hostile, who are also in the process of discovering their heritage and powers.

The series stayed on the New York Times Best Seller list for children's books for 100 weeks as of June 13, 2009.

Cool. Chris Columbus of Potter 1 and 2 fame...

His involvement spells fail to me.

indeed. will give this a watch

promising...
will watch it..

Wild fantasy storyline... cool!! Anticipating it!

i wonder how will this movie box office performance compare with clash of the titan

this is more like a children novel book made into movie... Clash of the Titans got more crunch wif all the mythology creatures in it...

put it this way... Percy for children and family while Clash is for adults...

Hahaha... Clash of the Titans might not be right for children. This is more of a "Harry Potter" genre... it appeals to kids more.

I'm liking it even more after watching the trailer.

Both Percy and Clash of Titans is worth anticipating I'll be going for both if possible (although COT does look more appealing).

I read the book. Percy Jackson's one I mean. Indeed awesome. Worth anticipating alright. I just hope, they don't cut too much scenes out. Hehe.

But then, does Logan Lerman have green eyes? That's how they describe Percy though. Haha. XD

tat can be done by using contact lense

Hahahaha. Quite right. Slipped my mind

watched it yesterday...percy was so leng chai...hahaha...overall is not bad...it's genre is jz like harry potter...this movie got funny...got excited...got handsome...but no pretty...lolz...my rating for this 8/10...(suppose is 7/10 but additional 1 point for percy...)

*omg...now oni i noe tat medusa is uma thurman...really can't recognize her at all...

p/s: pls dun leave da cinema when da credits come out...pls stay...

you mean have to wait until credits finish ? or just for awhile

about 30 seconds

Watched this yday! Awesome movie!

8/10!!

Oyea,dont leave when the credits start coming out..stay back for a while ...

hmm watched this

the fights against minotaur, medusa, hydra were too boring

i was like wtf... so easily get killed ???

god of war storyline is much better.. with better fights

First off, I have NEVER read the book

First impression, a modern retelling of the legend of Perseus.

Scene stealers, definitely Brandon T. Jackson and Pierce Brosnan.

Surprises, Uma Thurman taking up the role in this movie (a rather small one) in this movie, and she does it deliciously... I suppose even Uma Thurman has monthly bills to pay.

Strong first act, weaker 2nd and 3rd did not live up to expectation.

Worth a viewing if you have the spare change.

Nuff Said
