Percy Jackson (Logan Lerman) initially did not know he was a descendant of the ancient Greek gods. He just knew after the gods and monsters of Greek mythology that suddenly came out of Percy's book and realize themselves. Unfortunately, this news is not good news for Percy because of Zeus's lightning (Sean Bean) and Percy are missing the main defendant.The loss of this Zeus lightning create rippled throughout Olympia and the gods in the sky that threatened war with each other clear result is the destruction of the universe. No one can prevent this war unless Percy managed to find the lightning of Zeus and prove that he was not a thief as charged.
Before a solution is found, Percy must face a new problem. Percy's mother, Sally Jackson (Catherine Keener) suddenly disappeared. As a descendant of the god Poseidon (Kevin McKidd), Percy clearly has supernatural powers but to carry this heavy mission, Percy certainly will not be able to. Fortunately there is Annabeth Chase (Alexandra Daddario) and Grover Underwood (Brandon T. Jackson) who also is a descendant of the gods who are ready to help Percy.
Many times people in the Hollywood movie industry tries to shift the popularity of Harry Potter, but so far no one seems able to accomplish a nearly impossible mission of this. Can not be denied if Harry Potter had become a standard fantasy-themed movies like this and try to keep up Harry Potter's got a fairly high risk because if failed, as in the case of THE SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES it was possible to finish a sequel.
We heard the news that the film was too long, will directed by Chris Columbus, the question arises, 'Is this Harry Potter' will really fall? " How not, Chris Columbus was the man who gave birth to the birth of the first two Harry Potter films and make adaptation of JK Rowling's novel was so have a bright future. The answer is still the same in previous cases. Harry Potter is still undefeated.
Frankly, Percy JACKSON & THE OLYMPIANS: THE LIGHTNING THIEF is a big potential. The first film stir to mix between real life with Greek mythology that in fact is already very familiar with movie fans. Second, the casting of this film is right, too. Logan Lerman as the main actor is still able to compensate for the game Pierce Brosnan, Sean Bean, and Uma Thurman who was playing nicely in this film.
Unfortunately it seems the script is less 'tight'. There are still some gaps that make the characters appear so feels less solid. As family entertainment, Percy JACKSON & THE OLYMPIANS: THE LIGHTNING THIEF is still fit but it seems to get through the boundaries as the Harry Potter seems to still need to work harder.
