Review by Adam Cook ★ 19

I hated the first Percy Jackson movie so much that I’d tried to avoid the sequel for as long as possible. Unfortunately, with it finally appearing on Sky Premiere I had to bite the bullet and endure yet another derivative family adventure film. Sadly it doesn’t seem as if they’ve learnt from the mistakes of the first film as once again they’ve delivered a film devoid of personality and excitement.

Based on Rick Riordan’s series of novels (which I’m reliably informed by my nephew are much better than the films), the stories blend Greek mythology with the modern world as the son of Poseidon (Percy) and his annoying band of buddies go on familiar adventures from Greek legend. This time…
Review by Mikael Stånggren ★★★

Top 10 things I learned from this movie:

* Dionysus is a glory-hogging douche

* Not all Cyclopes are bad news

* Being eaten by a sea monster doesn’t kill you

* Being eaten by a god doesn’t kill you either

* Nor does getting an arrow through the chest, dropping 100 feet into a river

* CGI hasn’t evolved much in the past ten years

* Stygian witches drive old New York taxi cabs

* Being blandest of the bland gets you a starring role

* Harry Potter sits safely on the throne as the best non-Tolkien fantasy franchise

* Teen adventures, however lame, still make entertaining guilty pleasures

An ode to Ikea, Greek God of blandness, predictability and unoriginality.
Review by Travis Lytle ★★★

"Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters," Thor Freudenthal's follow-up to "Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief," almost fully repeats its predecessor's pattern of interesting concept, light-weight story, and family-friendly Greek-myth-inspired fantasy. The second film may not take the series anywhere new, but it still provides solid, sometimes smart adventure.

The narrative, here, sends young Percy Jackson, now hesitantly embracing his status as a demigod, on a quest to find the golden fleece. Complications, such as prophecies, teen enemies, and a cyclops half-brother, ensue, throwing Percy and his gang into recognizable hero quest shenanigans. There is a favorable emotional undercurrent to the story, but, at times, it seems to struggle between find its own way and borrowing from other kid-lit sagas.…

never judge a book by its movie adaptations guys. GET THE BOOKS AND READ IT
Review by Milena ★★★

Te amo, Percy. Pero que las adaptaciones te hagan parecer como si tuvieras 25 años me duele mucho.
Review by Sounak Das ★½

A botched movie taking bits and pieces from the entire Olympian series, conveniently morphing some of the elements and then projecting it using the glorious cgi. And at this point I haven't even read the books.
Review by Aaron White ★★ 1

Talk about a letdown... I now understand why this series died a sudden, terrible death before it could be finished. I am sad. Guess I'll read the books to find out what happens next.

IN DEMIGODS WE TRUST
Review by Seneca Gruber ★★½

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

This movie was very entertaining for someone, like me, who’s read and loved the books. This film was very different from the first, because it differed from the book. It was a different adventure that held the main goal of the book. My initial feeling with the movie was very bland, that it was an ordinary-exciting adventure. The main issue I have with this film is Kronos. They took the ending from The Battle of the Labyrinth and concept of The Last Olympian and shoehorned it into the plot of The Sea of Monsters. Obviously, I hated this idea, but I understood that if the films were to stop here, it would be fulfilling to include an ending. I did like how to portrayed Kronos, and the fight was entertaining, but of course it was not fulfilling. All of this was excepted until the ending where they left it open to a sequel, completely ruining to reason to include Kronos.
Review by RBViking ★★½

Enjoyable sequel.
