My son is a big fan of these books and was excited to go see this in the theatres. It is Harry Potter steeped in Greek mythology rather than magic and if it weren’t nearly as good. There is a school for demigods instead of magic kids at the center, etc. I love my son, so I saw this, so I’m obliged to jot down something thanks to my self-imposed rules. I’ve now met this obligation.
One bonus thought; I’m a little shocked at the level of violence in the film considering just how young much of the audience was and that the thing was rated PG. If you’ve got enough power and money, the MPAA obviously has many different packages for sale.
