Percy a dyslexic kid, fathered by Posiedon, the sea God, is forced to attend half-blood camp (deja vu, didn't we say!) when he is falsely accused by Zeus of stealing a lightning bolt. His mother, a bedraggled human, is kidnapped by weird monsters and sent to Hades, the supernatural underworld, where she is held captive until Percy returns the lightning bolt. And if he fails to do so, the gods will be at war which will send the world into apocalyptic mode, unleashing earthquakes, tornadoes and twisters. All he has to help him are his special skills, his dad's voice and his three friends, demi-goddess Annabeth, goat-man Grover and centaur Pierce Brosnan. Of course, not forgetting the flying shoes and the special pen that metamorphoses into a sword.
Amongst all the fantastical characters that inhabit the film, we would specially like to mention Uma Thurman as the serpent-haired Medusa who walks away with most of our applause as the svelte meanie. Absolutely delightful. For the rest, a word of caution. Don't go looking for Pottermania and you could have some fun with Percymania now.
A word about: Performances: Logan Lerman ain't no Daniel Radcliffe just as Brandon T. Jackson isn't Ron and Alexandra Daddario doesn't come close to Hermione.
Dialogue: Cheesy, uninspired.
Screenplay: Chris Columbus and Rick Riordan fail to create magic and wizardry on screen. They are however adequately engaging.
Special effects: Average. Now that's unforgivable in an Avtaar-ed age.
Inspiration: The film is based on the first book in the five-part series by Rick Riordan.
