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

Is it... Good?... No, it's terrible, but at least it's more faithful than the first one... and that's weird... because Percy doesn't have such a marked enmity against Cronus as it is in the books...

Awful film. A total disgrace to Rick Riordan who wrote an incredible set of books. This film was terribly written, terribly acted and terribly paced. Not to mention how barely in keeping it is with the books. If 'cringe' had a film, this would be it.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

What can I even say really? If I could give zero stars I would, this movie completely spits on the series it was adapting with a nonsensical plot that made no sense and just completely disrespects the book. I was just so depressed after I finished watching it because they could have done so much better and this was just so disappointing.
