Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters

Logan Lerman is back as Percy Jackson in this latest installment of the live-action version of the classic Percy Jackson books. Being half-human/half-God (making him a DemiGod) he's at a Camp (think Hogwarts at Camp Crystal Lake) for other DemiGods. His father being Poseidon (aka Kevin Kidd aka "Owen Hunt" on Grey's Anatomy) he can control and be healed by water. His mission in this movie is to get the Golden Fleece as the protective invisible barrier around the Camp is weakened. The barrier was put up by the Gods after one of their children died. Her body was morphed into a Tree of Life so to speak and now the tree is poisoned and the barrier is weak.

Pretty awesome story right? Well mix in a Cyclops, the return of Luke (Hades' offspring) from the first movie, and the legend of Kronos and you have a rambunctious adventure for tweens. Personally I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars. I walked away very entertained EXCEPT for one part.

This isn't giving any plot points or spoilers away but one of the bad guys wants the Golden Fleece for himself to bring back Kronos and be on the bad side. Percy and friends want the Fleece to heal the girl and tree. Well instead of taking the Golden Fleece and leaving Percy and another character have a "tender moment" long enough for Kronos to rise. ANNOYING! I didn't mean to buy I pulled a Brenda from "Scary Movie" and yelled out "OH COME ON!" I was so annoyed and pissed. There were two other parts, but I don't wanna give anything else away. All in all seriously great movie. Stinks that this came AFTER all the other movies like it (Wrath of the Titans and Harry Potter) as it resembles them SO MUCH, but I know the Percy Jackson books were in existence before all of them.
