Percy Jackson finds out he's the son of an Olympian God and a mortal, and sets out on a quest to recover Zeus' greatest weapon before the Gods start a war with each other. Now, my expectations were very low for this movie, but I actually thought it was good. Def. a weekend matinee with the kids, but I feel like everything fit together very well. Newcomer Logan Lerman plays Percy, a 17 year-old with an absent father and an uncanny affinity for water. He's got the Gossip Girl hair, the stunning blue eyes, and is very likable as our reluctant hero. And as a big fan of Greek mythology, I was happy to see a variety of characters splashed across the screen. *SPOILER ALERT
They give you Medusa, satyrs, a minotaur, furies, the 12 Gods, and much more. Great special effects, a scene stealing sidekick, and a beautiful demigod played by another newcomer, Alexandra Daddario. Go see it if you're into a good movie and you've already seen Avatar 4 times.
Cheers!
