Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Marcus Reading Its probably a good thing that profanity isn't allowed on here or this would probably just be flat out swears for the entire thing. I have been a HUGE fan of Percy Jackson since I was a kid and didn't actually think the first movie was that bad. Sure it changed things, but I could forgive that. I could forgive the change of age, the change of motivation and a whole host of other issues. What I cant forgive is the ending of this mess.Out of all the books, I admit that Sea of Monsters is the one I like the least, but I LOVE Titans Curse. With the ending of this, they have basically scuppered any chance of the events I love going through. Cronus should NOT be back this early in the story! At this point, just about the only thing that it has in common with the books is the characters. Why? Whats the point in making an adaptation if your going to change that much? They didn't do it in Harry Potter and I'm pretty sure they didn't do it in Lord of the Rings! Hell, even with the changes made to the Hobbit, the events were still fundamentally the same, just with some extra events to add to them. This takes the original, tears it to bloody pieces and defecates over the remains.

Davis P This Percy Jackson sequel is just bad bad bad. I actually really enjoyed the first Percy Jackson movie, but this one is just misguided at every turn. I like Logan Lerman and it's not that he did a horrible job in this movie, it's just that his character hasn't changed any and it's become boring, his performance isn't necessarily bad, it's just dull and uninteresting. But Logan Lerman's performance is exciting compared to the rest of the movie, I could forgive a somewhat dull performance if the rest of the movie was good..... but it's not. The writing and the plot is very boring and doll and it doesn't do anything to keep your attention. That is this film is number one problem, it simply doesn't keep the audiences attention. The action sequences are pretty average and really aren't that cool, The special effects are just subpar, nothing all that spectacular. This movie looked exciting and adventurous to me, but the adventure is just in short supply. This was a very big wasted opportunity, because they could've done so much more with the plot. I thought the first movie was interesting and I liked a lot of things about it, but they just went a completely different direction with the sequel, and it's a dull one that almost lulled me to sleep. I completely suggest the first Percy Jackson movie, but I suggest skipping on this sequel, it's not worth your time. 1/10.

Leofwine_draca PERCY JACKSON: SEA OF MONSTERS is a follow-up to PERCY JACKSON & THE LIGHTING THIEF, itself an adaptation of the debut novel in the popular young adult series by Rick Riordan. I mildly enjoyed the first film in the series, but this unfocused sequel is a lot worse; despite the plethora of on-screen action, not much actually seems to happen and it all rings rather false and hollow.This time, Percy and his buddies old and new find themselves embarking on a quest narrative to retrieve the Golden Fleece, of all things. There are various MacGuffins in the film, none of them particularly interesting or plausible, but what is apparent is the debt this series owes to Harry Potter. There are kids on the run, flying cars, magic sprays that change appearance, and plenty more besides. Inevitably Harry Potter got there first and did it better, leaving this all rather redundant.It doesn't help that the characterisation is kept to a bare minimum. Logan Lerman's hero is a dullish type and Alexandra Daddario struggles to shine as the token love interest. Speaking of tokenism, the comic relief black sidekick is still really clichéd and unfunny. The big guest stars have gone from the original film to be replaced by the likes of Anthony Head and Stanley Tucci, alongside a cameoing Nathan Fillion. For 90% of the running time, PERCY JACKSON: SEA OF MONSTERS consists of CGI-heavy action. Some of the effects are pretty good but as is generally the case with such films, it becomes tiresome very quickly.

mike48128 Almost a tribute to Ray Harryhousen! I loved those old movies as a teenager! Great popcorn fodder! I assume that the author is either British or Australian. This series plays in the spirit of the Harry Potter Series, but doesn't quite live up to its expectations. The special effects are extraordinary. Especially the water horse! The Greek influence is fun. (UPS is run by Hermes!) The plot has been simplified for the screenplay, and it dilutes the whole thing. Why and how does the Cyclops have ownership of the Golden Fleece? I thought it was in the Garden of one of the Gods. Where is Half-Breed Summer Camp, exactly? Do they ever live anywhere else? Fun to-be-sure, but missing that "spark". Maybe a better setting? The primal forest isn't exactly "Hogworts"! The heroine is spellbinding. She has far more charisma than poor Percy! He's kind of a "half-breed nerd".
