Percy jackson lightning thief movie review cracked#
So has “Percy Jackson” successfully cracked the “Potter” code? In terms of overall quality, not even close. Meanwhile, the man overseeing the action behind the camera is none other than Chris Columbus, who got the “Harry Potter” movies off the ground nine years ago. The movie’s scale is also grand, taking its demigod teen hero from the mean streets of New York to the fiery pits of Hades before ending up in the halls of Olympus, encountering a number of gods and goddesses (and a minotaur or two) along the way.
Since virtually all the previous efforts have ended in failure - anyone remember “The Spiderwick Chronicles” or “The Seeker: The Dark is Rising”? - the forces behind “Percy Jackson” are pulling out all the stops to make the movie click.įor starters, they’ve tapped talented up-and-comer Logan Lerman to play the title role and surrounded him with such established stars as Pierce Brosnan, Sean Bean and Uma Thurman. Besides possessing the young year’s lengthiest and most ungainly title, “Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief” is also notable for being Hollywood’s latest attempt to turn a series of popular kid-friendly fantasy novels into the next “Harry Potter”-like film franchise.
