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.

Guy Lodge

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.

Rated: 2/5

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.

The kids are charmless, the adults bemused.

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

Rated: 1.5/4.0

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.

Rated: 2/5

SF Crowsnest

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.

Rated: 2/4

Honestly, this movie is a terrible adaptation, the script is poorly written and the CGI is terrible every time a monster appears.

A sequel that left me scratching my head with its creative decisions that the writers decided to make......such a disappointment.

Mucho mas predecible y floja que la primera parte, tiene algunos buenos momentos pero en su mayoría pasan sin pena ni gloria, los 2 personajes que acompañan a Percy se sienten diferentes a la entrega anterior quedando en segundo plano para darle lugar a otros que parecen copias baratas de ellos, las escenas de accion son muy medio pelo comparadas con la otra entrega. Sabia desde antes que la saga no seguía después de esta así que esperaba un bajón de calidad.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

While not without its moments, "Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters" is an ultimately forgettable sequel that fails to outshine its already mediocre predecessor.

This film is even worse than the first one. They changed and removed important things from the book to make their story make sense! Well, newsflash, Warner Bros., it still makes absolutely no sense!!! This might just be one of the worst film adaptations of all time!! I guess my big problem with this film is “spoiler alert” that they brought Kronos back in the SECOND FILM!!!!! I’m being honest, if I could, I would give this film a zero star rating.
