Percy Jackson, The Movies

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief Directed by Chris Columbus

Percy Jackson, directed by Chris Columbus is truly a thrill to watch. Although it has its similarities with the book, it is different, and engulfs you in suspense, which leaves you wondering what’s going to happen next. I really recommend it if you have an interest in Greek mythology, or if you are looking for a great movie to watch!

The Sea of Monsters, Directed By Thor Freudenthal

(5/5) PG

In sequel to Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, this movie directed by Thor Freudenthal is just as good; Only better. Percy meets Clarisse, the daughter of Ares, who is the God of War. Unfortunately for Percy, he became his rival, and things get worse when Thalia’s tree got poisoned and weakened the barrier. What’s more is that Kronos might come to life once again, but Clarisse had been given the quest instead. Maybe it isn’t up to Percy to save everyone this time. . .is it?

The movies are slightly different from the book; But, it was entertaining nonetheless. Some mistakes were caught in the plot as well. However, the actors’ undeniably great performance made up for that.

Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, By Rick Riordian

(5/5) Ages 9+

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief is a novel by Rick Riordian, and is a truly amazing fantasy story about a boy named Percy. He looks normal enough, but is actually the son of the Greek God, Poseidon. At Camp Half-Blood, where people like Percy go to, he meets two new friends. A satyr, who is a boy half up, but a goat half down, and a girl named Annabeth, daughter of Athena.

These three go on the most dangerous quest anyone has ever been on, to retrieve Zeus’s stolen Master-Bolt, a weapon of mass destruction, before the gods take part in a huge war. Percy goes through so many adventures along the way, and even finds friends who betray him. I recommend this book to people who love a good fantasy adventure!
