So much average
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
I lost brain cells through anger of how little sense this movie made and I don't mean the plot I mean how stupid the characters were!! And the fudging fleece and the ending what the fudge how does that happen!! How the heck did they forget about the fudging fleece, it is so fudging annoying. Stop being so clique, it's annoying. You didn't give me any surprises. It wasn't even fudging funny. It was agonizing to watch I think I bluest a blood vessel. And why the hell can I not swear
Its probably a good thing that profanity isn't allowed on here or this would probably just be flat out swears for the entire thing. I have been a HUGE fan of Percy Jackson since I was a kid and didn't actually think the first movie was that bad. Sure it changed things, but I could forgive that. I could forgive the change of age, the change of motivation and a whole host of other issues. What I cant forgive is the ending of this mess.Out of all the books, I admit that Sea of Monsters is the one I like the least, but I LOVE Titans Curse. With the ending of this, they have basically scuppered any chance of the events I love going through. Cronus should NOT be back this early in the story! At this point, just about the only thing that it has in common with the books is the characters. Why? Whats the point in making an adaptation if your going to change that much? They didn't do it in Harry Potter and I'm pretty sure they didn't do it in Lord of the Rings! Hell, even with the changes made to the Hobbit, the events were still fundamentally the same, just with some extra events to add to them. This takes the original, tears it to bloody pieces and defecates over the remains.
Gone was the magic, gone was the adventure. ..replaced by silliness of the highest caliber, with what appeared to be a pathetic attempt to make up for such a lackluster film, with CGI.From dead Confederate soldiers, to what I *think* was supposed to be a new twist on the Stygian Witches, this movie was a nightmare from the get-goThe only positive thing I can say about this disaster is that, at least all the main important characters from the original, reprised their roles (except Chiron) and if it hadn't been for that, this movie wouldn't have been worth suffering through for even fifteen minutes, let alone the whole thing.Avoid, at all costs, avoid.
What I am amazed about this movie is that it fails on so many levels and being a person who has read the book, I have to ask myself, does it do justice to the book? NO . On the contrary it violates it and makes a laughable movie out of it. The movie tries to take hold of it own destiny by writing it's own story, but it what it finally delivers is a complete mess of wasted talents and bad story telling.I just felt the movie got goofy at times and the actors try so hard to sell it but its pathetic to watch them fail. Logan Lerman and Alex Daddario are the only ones that keep this movie from drowning in its own sea of atrocity. If it was intended to be breezy yet kind of an entertaining action flick for young adults , then on that basis I can give credit that movie has succeeded. But if you are expecting for a solid movie with a sound plot and edge-of-the-seat action,this is not your pick, trust me. The film overflows with sickeningly corny dialog, predictable moments and cliché that you wince in disturbance. Actors try to give life to the characters but that it works only to some extent because by the end of the movie you would lying to yourself if said you cared for any of them. Some scenes in the movie were useless weight to the run time and some weren't used to their fullest potential. Not a great movie and I am disappointed how one of my favorite book franchises has been treated with callous movie making.
