Percy Jackson and The Olympians

A r u c a r D . [ R ] . Filed Under:

Im sticking to my gut on this one. After watching the trailers, seeing the actors, checking out the synopsis.. I still did not want to watch this movie. Just seemed too childish. As usual, my thoughts / gut did not let me down as that is exactly how it panned out.

Even though it had high profile actors, even though it had a great amount of CG, I still did not feel the need to sit down and finish watching the movie. [Even though I did for review purposes.] The movie had way too much of a comedy feel to it, something younger kids and preteens would enjoy. Younger teenagers would get a kick out of simple punchline jokes, quick responses even in their darker of situations.

It just did not appeal to me, I love movies that have a basis of mythology to them, but this one took that basis and perverted it into pubescent boy / girls dream. To have powers, to not know how to use them, but then magically learn to save the day because of the company you kept.

5 .5 / 10 [ I was originally inclined to a 5, but the fact that Rosario Dawson played Hades wife, and defied him as if that would ever happen, was too hilarious to pass up. lol ]
