This movie picks up the story of Percy Jackson as he journeys to
fulfill his destiny. The journey specifically revolves around the Golden
Fleece. I did, however, find the plot to be extra predictable. I haven’t read the book series so I’m not sure
if the actual storyline is super predictable or if the movie just doesn’t do
the book enough justice.
At first, I was excited for this movie. It wasn't as good as the first one was though. It ran kind of oddly, and didn’t feel smooth at all. There is also a
weird collage feel to the whole movie. They were trying to give you background
on characters and introducing new characters, plus there was till the quest for
the Golden Fleece.All these elements just made for a muddied kind of plot.
Overall, I am not thrilled about this movie, but I think it was a
decent waste of time. With each Percy movie that I watch, I just want to read the
books that much more. It almost feels like they were hoping for the whole Harry
Potter level of craze, but it is just not happening for them. I would only
suggest this movie to those who like mythology type stuff and don’t really have
anything else to do.
Hope you have a poised day!
