What makes it different from others?

Very well executed

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

I don't know. This movie was incredibly disappointing, I was a huge fan of Percy Jackson, and this threw a lightening bolt in the face of my love for it.

It was boring from start to finish. I hate a movie that after your done watching you feel like you wasted time of your life. I was planning on doing marathon and watch all the movies. Now I am just gonna go ahead and delete the second one from now.DONT WATCH THIS movie if you value your life!

I love Logan Lerman as Percy Jackson. The Movie is great.

I hadn't heard of the books written by Rick Riordan before I watched the film so had no clue about the characters or story.The basic outline of the movie is Percy is a young teen living with his mother and her horrible boyfriend. He finds out to his surprise that he is a half demigod and his father is none other than Poseidon, God of the sea. He soon finds himself and his mother in danger when he's accused of stealing zeus's thunderbolt and he has to go on a mission to find it before it can be used as a means to start a war. I didn't mind that it was riding on the coat tails of Harry Potter and Twilight. I liked the concept of gods coming to earth in modern times and having children. I also like they have a camp where they can be themselves away from disbelieving humans and protected from outside forces.It has an all star cast of Sean Bean, Pierce Brosnan, Steve Coogan, Rosario Dawson and Uma Thurman who added much needed star power to the film as the three main leads are actors I'm unfamiliar with.I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would and look forward to seeing the next film in the series.
