Percy Jackson and the Lightning thief (film not the book)

Post by forest_devil »

just to save you some monies and 2 hours of your life.

DO NOT PAY TO SEE THIS AT THE CINEMA.

it is appalling. i had no idea any film could sink so low.

Up Point.
some interesting fights and CGI.

Bad Points;
SLOWWW film takes too long for the CGI effects fight seens drag out too long. It just generally doesnt move along

Doesnt follow the Book AT ALL. seriously it hurt

Most clich├®/stereotypical black guy possible is half goat.

i wont take the time to list the others

You mean it wasn't obvious upfront that this was going to be a return to the spectacular form of such fantasy adaptations as Eragon or League of Extraordinary Gentlemen?

Though to be fair, there wasn't much to be lost in the case of Eragon.

I really liked the way the dragon was done on Eragon, but I've always liked dragons and am still working on trying to do a great drawing of one. I don't usually do drawings, but, I have a thing for drawing dragons.
