When the trailer for this movie came out, i was busy with my academic work and didnt have a clue about the story of the movie.that was a big mistake.lets see why.

The Poster
basically, this is another movie where the director and his story writers decide to make a movie based on a book without really basing the story on a book. they nuked the story to hell by not sticking to the original thing.
if you haven’t read the book yet (don’t, u will loose AT LEAST 3 brain cells), its based on Greek mythology, usual story of how the son of NeptÅ«nus wants fight the gods, except the twist here is that its on a modern setting with percy (son of NeptÅ«nus) not wanting to fight zus, but to actually give him a sweet hug  prove his own innocence. the movie takes another twist to it too.
the story just reminds of harry potter,minus all the hype and awesomeness!
the movie starts with percy, an unpopular nerd, find about his god-like powers. and finds out that his best friend is a goat  satyr and his school teacher is a centur!. anyway, they send him to a camp to learn about his powers. but hades soon comes after him to get the lightening bolt (a freaking lightening bolt) and takes his mother away.
soon percy decides to go to hell and meet hades to get his mom back. the story begins here when they start a quest of collecting magic balls, because..you know…you need balls to visit hell!
the movie ends by percy gets his mom back, proving  his innocence to the gods, and meeting his father.
The Verdict: The movie overall lacked any impressive action, and even thou the producers used CGI a lot, they didn’t cash-in with any impressive effects or action.
I give it 6/10 Abdul points. (4 for the story and 2 for having the story about magic balls.)
next review: revenge of the titans. same story sprinkled with awesomeness.
