Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief Movie
Based on Rick Riordan’s 2005 best-selling children’s novel, Chris Columbus’s ‘Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief’ follows the daily struggles of Percy Jackson, a dyslexic teenage boy who loves holding his breath under water for long periods of time.
Destiny has something different for Percy. He soon discovers, that he might actually be the son of Poseidon, the mythic Greek god of the seas. When he is accused of stealing Zeus’s iconic lightning bolt, Percy sets out on an ‘Odyssey’-like adventure to expose the real thief and retrieve his emotionally wrecked mother (who suspiciously vanished) from Hades.
The lead role is played by Logan Lerman, who had a stint with the short-lived TV series ‘Jack & Bobby’; the always reliable, Oscar-nominated actress Catherine Keener stars as his mother. Pierce Brosnan is playing an important role as the paraplegic and Uma Thurman also portray the role of wicked Medusa.
Altogether, this movie is of average and the critics have mostly been kind to this adventure-fantasy film, with mixed-to-positive reviews; but not even in the sidelines of Potter. Maybe this is not the best fantasy movie you’ll see this year, but like another recent, unsung young adult film, City of ember, there is a start in here that makes up for the film’s flaws.

PG-rated family fun adventure in itself, but films Columbus' can not live up to the gold standard Potter and leaves enough raw materials Riordan, so that readers Tween blows gasket every few minutes.

I had already mentioned the presence of good actors in supporting roles in this film, but unfortunately, Sean Bean, Catherine Keener, Joe Pantoliano, Uma Thurman, Rosario Dawson and Steve Coogan has completely lost its leading position in roles.In we have a trio of young actors who do not have too much charisma or talent … I really hope that sounds Logan Lerman is the next Spider-Man are false.
