Though Percy (Logan Lerman), the half-human son of Greek god Poseidon, once saved the world, lately he's been feeling less than heroic. However, he doesn't have much time to brood -- the enchanted borders that protect Camp Half-Blood are dissolving, and a horde of mythical beasts threatens the demigods' sanctuary. In order to save Camp Half-Blood, Percy and his friends embark on a journey to the Sea of Monsters -- aka the Bermuda Triangle -- to find the magical Golden Fleece.

Critics Consensus

It's pretty and packed with action; unfortunately, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters is also waterlogged with characters and plots that can't help but feel derivative.

A pesar de que la primera película ha sido cuestionada por los lectores de la novela original y por el mismo autor, no se puede negar que fue una película lo suficientemente aceptable para que se hiciera una segunda película con esperanza de poder adaptar todos los libros. De haberse sabido que esta segunda película no iba a ser lo suficientemente exitosa, hubiera sido dejar la historia solo en la primera película porque no había dejado cabos sueltos como en esta secuela. Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters no es para nada una mala película. Cuenta con muy buenos efectos digitales y toda la aventura que ofrece la hace una película muy entretenida. Percy y sus amigos siguen siendo personajes muy fáciles de querer y son una muy buena razón para seguir viéndolos en otra aventura. El asunto es que esta película se siente más humorística que la anterior, casi como una caricatura y aunque tiene buenas escenas con los seres mitológicos, hay que admitir que muchos de esos momentos se sienten algo cortos y tendrían que haber durado más. Haber cambiado de director, es de seguro la razón por la que esta película tiene un ritmo distinto por más que Columbus participo como productor. Tomando en cuenta que la trama del libro es seguramente más extensa, es seguro que existen más elementos que se tendrían que haber agregado a esta película para que no se sintiera algo corta. Realmente tiene potencial y deja con ganas de más, pero es una pena que no haya sido lo suficientemente convincente para que pudieran continuar la historia con 3 películas más. Percy Jackson realmente tiene un concepto muy atrayente para los que se sienten fascinados por la mitología griega y esta saga de películas no merecía haber sido cancelada después de esta segunda entrega. Lo triste de eso es que esta dilogía de Percy Jackson se siente como una saga inacabada. Percy Jackson: Sea Of Monsters es una película entretenida que ofrecía la oportunidad de continuar la saga de Peter Jackson, pero es lamentable que esta segunda película haya sido la última. Mi calificación final para esta película es un 8/10.

I was honestly impressed at how this movie was even worse than the original. With everything from cutting key scenes from the book, to adding random stuff that doesn't even make sense, and even adding Percy's nemesis Clarice, without any context on why he hates her, makes this movie one of the worst I've ever seen.

Please don't watch this movie if you read the books. It is a terrible adaptation and movie overall, taking a five book story and smashing it into one. They didn't even make a third movie that's how bad it was. I don't even think anyone making this read the book. CGI was bad, plot was terrible compared to the book. They changed the prophecy just to make the age of the characters work. They take Kronos who doesn't even rise till the 5th book and resurrect him as a weird lava thing, they don't even care enough to mention how Grover wanted to find Pan! Not to mention they completely forgot about Circe (which will make it difficult if they wanted to continue to heroes of Olympus) and the sirens. So disappointed, a absolute DISGRACE to the books, doesn't deserve to be called Percy Jackson, and I wish I could rate this a 0/5.

So, after the disaster that was the first movie, I was worried that this movie would be no better. Color me surprised. Other than a few moments of shoddy CGI and an ending that felt rushed, this was an improvement over the original movie in almost every way. Most importantly, I think, this movie felt believable, something required when considering the outlandish subject material.

London Evening Standard

Scrappy and kind-hearted, with odd flashes of high camp - even if its universe of patchworked Greek mythological elements still makes little sense.

Precious little about this is particularly memorable, but it's the odd touch of local color that makes these routine acts of derring-do a bit easier to bear.

It seems far too early in Lerman's career for a paycheck film to enter the picture.

Younger audiences may still find themselves entertained by Sea of Monsters, but by slowing down the pace and having some faith in its actors, it could have been so much more.

Unfortunately, Monsters is relentlessly derivative and a watered-down sci-fi saga that the tweens and teens will tune out with all the nonchalant gesture of popping a stubborn pimple on their faces.
