Movie Review: The Lightning Thief

by Adams Innovative on Feb.16, 2010, under Film News and Reviews

This weekend, I found myself making the trip to a movie theater. Kind of a sad week for the movies, not too many things I really wanted to see. Out of all the wonderful selections, I selected Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. All in all, I’d give it a 6 out of 10, but I wouldn’t say that it was bad – just not my taste. I did enjoy my time, not too bad for a kid’s movie.

The movie was about a typical NYC high school kid who finds out that Greek Gods aren’t exactly myths and that he happens to be a demigod – that is, the offspring of a God and a mortal. At the same time of learning who is father is (Poseidon), he is also blamed for stealing Zeus’s lightning bolt… and thus the adventure begins.

From what I understand this is based off a fantasy book series for children, so I wasn’t expecting thick plot lines and intense characters, but, like I said, it wasn’t too bad. At points the story dragged, but soon enough the action would pick back up.

If you go see this movie, you won’t be upset, but maybe you’ll want to wait for it at Red Box or Netflix.  I’m curious to see what sequels lead to…
