My only nag is that Clairisse doesn't appear whatsoever in this film and that Luke takes full credit for stealing Zeus's thunder (minor on the whole as the whole film is concerned), but this is a tremendous movie. Admittedly the books are better but honestly I adore this movie, especially Grover and his hysterical antics. Not certain if 'Sea of Monsters' is greenlit and the little errors in this first installation, but even if not, I'm simply happy seeing one of my favorite books become an epic masterpiece. Not all Percy Jackson fans will agree with me, but I enjoyed the movie anyhow.
I Think you will like this story. I was reluctant to watch this at first. I had never heard of the books. I used to enjoy Greek Mythology when I was younger and I instantly got drawn in when I started to watch this movie. It is PG so it is not too intense for a younger viewer (I have a 9 year old who does not like creepy/scary movies; he was a little scared at a first but he said it wasn't too scary once he started watching it) but it has enough action and spooky scenes that even my teenager enjoyed. This is a great family film.
Percy Jackson is a not so average teenager with some major problems. It's not until his substitute teacher turns into a 'fury' and attacks him, claiming he stole Zeus's lighting bolt, that he finds out he's actually a Demi-God (half human, half god). Turns out his father, Poseidon, and Zeus are constantly fighting, and just recently, someone stole Zeus's lighting bolt, and because Poseidon himself can't steal another Gods stuff, that only leave Percy Jackson. But how can he prove his innocence and find out who really is the lighting thief? Fast paced, full of action and humor at every turn, this has already become a favorite in my household. There were no slow parts, and not much was left out from the novel. Though it is aimed more for a younger audience, it's a movie that anyone of any age can truly enjoy. It's inevitable that this movie would be compared to Harry Potter, so of course I would have to say that I would recommend this movie to ANY Harry Potter fan. The acting itself is Grade A, and Logan Lerman was a great choice for playing Percy Jackson. If anyone has seen any of his other work though, you would already know he's really good.Read full review

I bought the Percy Jackson DVD because my daughter read the book and loved it. She wanted to get the DVD and the best price I found was on eBay. My daughter also loved the movie and watching the DVD has lead her to read more of the same series of books.
good movie, particularly as my daughter (12) is reading the series..
