I can't say that I actually enjoyed this movie. Although there were a lot of funny scenes and dialog but the acting is just not good kinda kills it.

Probably because those are new and young actor, I assume?

Everything work way way too linear and not to mention that some of the scene kinda rush IMO. (mind you, I never read the novel)

Most of the fighting scene are not that good and not well-choreograph IMO. Especially Medusa, she got kick out of the bucket too easily. Even Minatour fight was slightly better than that. The series would be a lot better if there are more "magic" attack involved. Percy should use his water spell more often as well.

As for the Casino scene, I am don't like it although I know the purpose of that scene for. I guess it was a the work of "final villain" to delay and waste the heroes time? It is never explained in the end...or is it?

As for the ending, It was alright. Everything wrapped and complete but somehow lacking for me although the credit ending definitely do the justice.

Overall, It is 6/10 for me. Probably because I have extremely high expectation on it.

yup the game

3rd installment gonna be out ^^

Another movie I thought I'd be watching but I would rather wait for better movies. So far, movie count for 2010 : [1], and thats "Avatar" (2009)

nice movie, i find it better than harry potter movies, balance action n storyline

this one very nice liao,I'm enjoice alot watching it

8/10

Anyone noticed how the actor didn't show much emotion when the mother was supposedly "killed" by the minotaur?

The casino is crutial for sequel.

Its is where (do not read if you dont want to be spoiled by the books)

Actually in the books:

the trailer's scene with a truck n gatling guns seems to be missing in the movie proper

Sneaky moderator deleted my response to his/her harsh action without justifying.
That forum name really suits him/her.

Anyway people I have written a review on this movie on my blog if you're interested.

Haven't read the books so I can't tell if the plot drifts... but the beginning of the movie (not to mention, some of the casts) leaves you with pretty high expectations. Great start, good performances for some of the cast, superb effects and animation but the movie died with a terrible ending.

Man am I disappointed.

Beginning ok...
between the beginning and the ending was ok...
ending sucked... bad...

Please. No more blog whoring. You know who you are.

This movie comes at wrong timing....
quite nice but i dun see many ppl watching .....
All cny movies full house, but only 10 ppl watching when we watched

From an average guy who only enjoy movies and have never read the book :

Film is below average. Not suspense enough. Too linear ... as in boy finds out himself as a demi-god and manage to master his powers before hte movie mid point. I guess them demi-gods must be extremely talented. Interesting concept though of how they mix in Greek mythology with the modern world.

i) Medusa was sooooo predictable. Aunty Em. Rock statues. Who else can it be lol?
ii) Didn't manage to guess Hydra.
iii) I do think the Lotus Lair part is kinda out of the story until I read emino's post.

On a side note, Percy Jackson was my worst movie experience, namely because of a lady that kept on going "huhu" during the entire show.

[skip all the previous review and post this, might contain SPOILER]

(I didn't read the book, and only watch this because at that time no other movie to watch)

To me, this movie is really a sucks one and the story shouldn't "exist" at all.
How is it possible that "The son of the God of Messenger" can stole the Zeus's lightning bolt? And why Medusa and Hydra are alive where they been killed by Perseus and Hercules?

(If skip through the mythology) The movie started with a few fight/runaway scene, which probably made the audience impress (at first). The subsequent fight scene became not as good as the previous one (try compare the Hydra fight with Luke). This have made the movie became lost interest on later part...
It made me feel like this is just a typical Hollywood product, just that there is no sex scene.
