Review of Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010) by Frederic C. B — 26 Feb 2015
The Good Part:
Applying Greek myth to a modern YA movie, is a daring take that brings a fun adventure nonetheless. Fans of the myth would be geeking out with the many references, as well as the star studded ensemble that brings Olympus to the heart of the story. Amazing visual effects adds to its fun of spectacle. Logan Lerman is a standout as the lead character.
The Bad Part:
Why the need to change many important parts of the original story? I wonder if it would be more fun had it was more faithful to the novel. That explains why sometimes parts of the movie felt at loss and disconnected with the whole. This would then cause a chain reaction to the next movie.
