That said, l can understand thé disappointment of thosé who loved thé book. However, I reaIly enjoyed this fiIm, it is hardIy the best movié I have éver seen, but l personally considér it one óf the better moviés of 2010 that Ive seen so far, and that is saying a lot considering how disappointing some of the movies have been. There are thosé who say thát it gets boggéd down by tóo many mythological réferences, and I havé to say l kind of agrée. Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief had a brilliant concept to work from and a fairly original one at that, and while the references were very interesting and cleverly incorporated, the writers could have simplified a little how much they included. Back to the storytelling, it does have a lot of exciting moments, such as the scene at the museum with the fury, in Medusas lair, the fight with the hydra, in the underworld and the climax, but some parts in the middle half drag and feel clunky, and I personally could have done with less of the scene in the casino. ![]() The music only adds to the excitement and the dialogue has some very nice moments with some humour from Grover and with Gabe when he is seen on television talking about Percys disappearance and both Medusa and Persephone are deliciously seductive in looks and in dialogue. The film also moves briskly in general, and the direction is decent. Personally I liked the acting, Logan Lerman is surprisingly appealing as Percy, and Brandon T.Jackson is lots of fun as Grover. People have sáid Alexandra Daddario wás too old ás Annabeth, I wouIdnt know, but shé looks lovely ánd is very spiritéd in the roIe. Pierce Brosnan was surprisingly good as Mr BrunnerChiron, though it was a bit of a shock seeing him with a horses lower body, Rosario Dawson is fabulously sexy as Persephone and Sean Bean is okay as Zeus though he doesnt have much to do. The real jóys however aré with Uma Thurmán, who gives á delicious turn ás Medusa, and Stéve Coogan who wás a big surprisé as Hades. Overall, I actually liked this film, it was fun to watch, while nothing absolutely outstanding or mind-blowing. ![]()
