Percy Jackson & the Olympians; the Lightning Theif

On saturday February 27th , I went to the movies @ South Bank Cinema with social group Lifestream and saw Percy Jackson & the Olympians the Lightning Thief. Poseidon(Kevin mcKidd0 & Zeus(sean bean) meet on the top of the Empire state building and comments that the storm clouds have no lightning and the master bolt has been stolen. poseidon's son has been blamed for the teft and despite his claims of his son's innocence Posiedon is given 14 days by Zeus to return it lest war breakout. Percy jackson(Logan Lerman) is on an field trip to an exhibition of greek and roman art is lured away from the crowd by a fury Mrs Dodds(MAria Dodds) who is disgusied as his substitute ENglish teacher who attacks him and questions him about the lightning bolt. Percy who had no knowledge of it is rescued by his Latin teacher Mr Brunner(pierce Bronsnan) and is give an sword disguised as a pen by Brunner. Grover(brnadon T jackson) who on Brunner's instruction takes Percy to an training camp for demi gods called Camp Half Blood along witrh sally(Catherine Kenner) who is Percy's mother abd they are attacked by an Minotaur as Percy attempted to learn about his real father from sally is captured by an minotur and disappears. percy engaged with the minotaur with the pen who turns into an sword named Riptide who eventually kills the creature with one of it horns. Percy learns that his Latin teacher Brunner is actually mythological centuar and the camp trainer and Poseidon is Percy's father. Percy also meets Luke (Jake Abel) Hermes's son and Annabeth Chase(Alexandra Daddario) who is the daughter of Athena(maria Kanakaredes) and it leads to interesting adventures throughout the film. It's good and the effects are really good despite the fact that i'm not an fan of adventure/fantasy films. nice acting by the leading actors as well as Uma Thurman who plays Medusa and Joe Panteliano who plays Gabe (percy's stepfather) and it was directed by Chris Columbus. I gave it 3 stARS
