Percy
Jackson has had a tough go in movies, a failed attempt at a 5-movie franchise
adapting the popular novels by Rick Riordan. And when I say 'adapting' I mean in the
loosest possible fashion. The first movie changes some major elements from the
first book. With the second, I wonder if the writers had only flicked through
the book before throwing it away and working on their script. But this is not a
review that will rank these movies as adaptations, I myself have only read
Wikipedia summaries of the plot. Both movies had a similar mixed reception, and
made a similar amount of money about $220m, but the second one had a higher
budget so it was seen as disappointing. I have seen both of these movies and
here are my thoughts.
