Complaints aside, the film looks incredible, the special effects are excellent and the cinematography and scenery are clever and skillful. Back to the storytelling, it does have a lot of exciting moments, such as the scene at the museum with the fury, in Medusa's lair, the fight with the hydra, in the underworld and the climax, but some parts in the middle half drag and feel clunky, and I personally could have done with less of the scene in the casino.
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief had a brilliant concept to work from and a fairly original one at that, and while the references were very interesting and cleverly incorporated, the writers could have simplified a little how much they included. There are those who say that it gets bogged down by too many mythological references, and I have to say I kind of agree. Where the film is lacking is in the storytelling. However, I really enjoyed this film, it is hardly the best movie I have ever seen, but I personally consider it one of the better movies of 2010 that I've seen so far, and that is saying a lot considering how disappointing some of the movies have been. That said, I can understand the disappointment of those who loved the book. Percy decides to travel on a dangerous quest to retrieve the lightning bolt and save his mother.I have to admit it, I haven't read the book, but regardless of whether it was faithful or not, this rarely ruins a movie or TV adaptation for me. In the camp, Percy befriends the gorgeous Annabeth when they are attacked by Hades who wants the lighting bolt for himself, Percy discovers that his mother is in the Underworld with Hades. However Sally is attacked by a Minotaur and vanishes before Percy can help her. They go to Percy’s house and together with his mother Sally they drive to the Camp Half-Blood. His physically handicapped best friend Grover reveals that Percy is a demigod and that he is his protector and his teacher Mr Brunner gives him a pen telling him that it is a powerful weapon. Meanwhile the teenager, Percy, who is dyslexic and has ADHD is visiting The Museum of Metropolitan of Art and is attacked by a Fury disguised in his teacher. When his lightning bolt is stolen, Zeus accuses Poseidon’s son Percy Jackson and gives Poseidon’s son fourteen days to return it, otherwise he will initiate a war amongst the gods.
