Skip it tonight unless you've got restless kids to entertain—this adaptation waters down Rick Riordan's sharp source material into a generic fantasy-adventure that feels more like a studio obligation than a passion project. If you're craving mythological fun with actual wit and heart, reread the books or find something with more personality.

Plot

Accident prone teenager, Percy discovers he's actually a demi-God, the son of Poseidon, and he is needed when Zeus' lightning is stolen. Percy must master his new found skills in order to prevent a war between the Gods that could devastate the entire world.
