Review:
From the trailer this movie appeared to be very entertaining and having never read the book I wasn't really expecting anything...aside from at least a good story line since the book was popular enough to become a movie. I was very surprised in a WOW type way. The storyline was very well done, as were the not known actors playing the Demi-gods or children of the ancient greek gods. Some of the gods/mystical creatures are very well known actors and did not disappoint in showing their talents, even though some only had a small role to play. The special effects were incredible and never once did you get the feeling that the actors didn't know where to look or how to respond to something they couldn't really see.
Even though the rating is PG I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes Ancient Greek Mythology, lots of action and a rather good overall feeling. Of course if you like serious action movies the fight scenes will be entertaining, however the tween interaction may become very boring and predicable. The rating is good for children probably pretweens possible 10+...my children 6 and 1 would probably not appreciate it as much as some scenes can be intense.
Hope this is useful to you. Thank you for reading,
Alison
