Percy Jackson & the Lightning Thief - any good?

[happybird]

Looking for something on Disney to watch tonight now that I’ve finished all the Star Wars stuff. Plan on doing the Marvel movies but am under strict instructions to wait until my friend sends a watch order list with which movies to avoid. He was very serious about the matter so I am obeying his directive.

This Percy Jackson movie caught my attention while scrolling through. Lots of famous actors in it, but I’ve found movies with casts like that are either really good or really awful.

Which is it, good or awful?

1. Do you have HBO Max?

It’s not on Disney, but The Last of Us starts tonight. It’s starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey. Really looking forward to it!

On Disney, I watched the Korean Dramas Snowdrop and Soundtrack #1. Both were good.

2. No HBOmax

Just this free Disney trial. Will check out those dramas! Thanks! Trying to get the maximum out of the trial.

3. It's good if you're a 12-year-old boy who likes Greek mythology

The special effects are splendid. (Full disclosure: I was once a 12-year-old boy who loved Greek mythology. Long, long ago.)

4. I've often got the sense of humor of a 12 year old boy...

so it may work!


That’s what I’ve been finding with the disney service– much of the content is for kids or younger teens. Some is good, some I have zero interest in watching. This one falls into a grey zone because I know nothing about it other than what the blurb said.

5. I enjoyed it so much that I

bought several of the books in the series for a grandson. I love special effects! Ray Harryhausen forever!
