Film: Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

It's Harry Potter! But a bit older and American maybe. Other than that it's the same coming-of-age-omg-I'm-a-demigod shindigs we've come to expect over the last decade or so.

But despite it's lack of an original premise, Percy Jackson is pretty good. Of course it's helped along by Greek Mythology (always a good thing) and a charming cast, but at this stage any bonuses are welcome.

All in all a bit shallow but entertaining all the same, I'd give this a go if you're into Olympus lore or just plain looking for a bit of fun and adventure. Recommended.
