Ivan P Nothing like the book, way too fasted paced, CGI is good but everything else sucks, and why would you pick an 18 year old, a 24 year old, and a 16-17 year old to play 12 year olds? I know Grover was actually 28 in the book, but he was presented as 12, he LOOKED 12. These actors don’t even look like 12 year olds. Rotten tomatoes to the max. 👎🏾 Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/01/25 Full Review Jacopo D Questo film di Percy Jackson è insulso e non riesce ad entusiasmare per la sua trama banale e bambinesca. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/17/25 Full Review Audience Member The movie is good but it's very rushed compared to the book, they skipped a lot of scenes that were good or interesting. I'm not going to lie, it would be cool to have an adaptation that was 100% faithful to the book. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/14/25 Full Review Lijimol J Now I am a devoted fan of Percy Jackson books. I have already read Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. So when I first heard that they were making a movie, it was going to be good. But i was so wrong because instead of following what the writer Rick Riordan they did a totally different thing . They did not put Clarisse in the first film; instead combined her with annabeth, creating a bad character for a daughter of Athena. And one thing I hate about this movie is how demigods are not aloowed to meet there parents like dude that i what makes up the main plot of the movie! Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/21/25 Full Review Diego P As a movie it's good... I think, but as an adaptation it's terrible. Because they're like 5 years older, I mean Percy is I think 12 at the beginning and 16 by the end. This one is at least 17 and that's already bad. What's next... oh yeah the fight with Ares... what can I say... Where is he?!... They removed that... and Hades... what happened, is he the bad guy? .. in fact he's one of the best gods... so many things... 3/5 and I'm being very, very kind. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/18/25 Full Review Henry C The Percy Jackson movies, especially Sea of Monsters, offer a fun, fast-paced escape that the recent show just doesn’t match. While the show drags with slow pacing and overly serious tone, Sea of Monsters delivers humor, heart, and thrilling action. It captures the spirit of adventure and the charm of Percy’s world without getting bogged down in exposition. The movie introduces Tyson and Clarisse, adding depth and excitement. Adapting The Titan’s Curse is a must—it’s darker, more intense, and introduces fan-favorites like Nico and Thalia. With epic battles and emotional stakes, it’s perfect for the big screen and would reignite love for the series in a way the show couldn’t.
