Why would they give Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief a sequel? The critics didn't exactly like it, and it didn't make that much money, and in Hollywood standards, that really isn't good enough for a sequel. But surely enough, after three years, they bring us Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters. I didn't exactly want to see it, mainly because I didn't like the first one. But I actually liked this one.
We find Percy (Logan Lerman, who will most likely be playing a teenager for life) at Camp Half Blood. But the good times don't last long, because the barrier surrounding the camp is wearing off. So, Percy and his friends must embark on a quest to find the Golden Fleece, which is going to save the camp.
I know that I left out a lot of plot details, but I really didn't want to ruin anything. Percy Jackson 2 is better than the original. It is at times too goofy, but it's fine for a fantasy to have a sense of humor. Look at the first three Harry Potter movies. Also, some of the lines made me roll my head and some of the visuals look a little cheesy. But this movie is fun.
Some of the special effects are pretty good, and it I did laugh here and there. But it obviously comes no where near The Lord of the Rings trilogy or the Harry Potter series. Was I expecting it to? Nope. So, I can't quite call it a disappointment. But for what it is, it is a good way to kill nearly two hours. Those two hours zoom by also, which is pretty nice. I say see it.
