Movie Review - Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief

Rating: 9/10

This movie, starring Logan Lerman, is the film adaptation of the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan. It tells the story of Percy Jackson, the son of a god (Poseidon) and a mortal (Sally Jackson). Percy is accused of stealing Zeus' lightning bolt, the most powerful weapon ever created. He must return it in fourteen days, before the summer solstice, or war will break out. Thus, Percy, with the aid of Annabeth (Athena's daughter) and Grover (a satyr), must find the bolt and return it to Zeus.

(Crappy summary, I know. :P)

I liked the movie very much because of the mythic elements. (I wanted to see Nike in the movie but she wasn't there...) The special effects are also lovely and Logan Lerman is... HOT!!!
