Wow, because Alice In Wonderland was fully booked, well I have no choice but to watch this show. Directed by Christopher Columbus (who previously directed the first two Harry Potter films), Percy Jackson is just some sort of a Harry Potter, the only difference is Percy is the son of a famous Greek God, which is Poseidon. Below are just the plain old simarities of Potter and Percy:
1. Harry, Ron and Hermoine ; Percy, Grover, Annabeth
2. Harry has Dumbledore as the mentor ; Percy has "Mr. James Bond" as the mentor
3. Harry has a wand and a broom ; Percy has a sword and a pair of flying shoes
4. Harry faces Fluffy the three-headed dog ; Percy faces Hydra the monster
5. Both Harry and Percy are the Choosen One
While Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief is just plain boring and dull, the film just has its advantages from the stunning visual effects and a strong supporting casts such as Pierce Brosnan, Uma Thurman, Steve Coogan and Brandon T. Jackson. Just beware that the ending is that predictable but yet at times makes no sense. While Percy Jackson may just not as entertaining as Harry Potter, yet the film is just fun in terms of its fast-paced plot and great visual effects.
My Review: 2.8/5 (I add 0.3 for the greart visual effects)
Rotten Tomatoes: 51%
