I'll admit it: I'm 27 years old and I love the Percy Jackson books. I have since the first moment I picked one up in Wal-Mart about 5 years ago. I have always been fascinated by mythology and Riordan's writing is absolutely brilliant! But of course this is a movie review, not a book review. Despite the fact that they dramatically changed the ending of the movie as opposed to the book's version, I have to say that this movie was just fun. It's much more entertaining than the last Percy Jackson attempt and the casting was pretty brilliant. Stanley Tucci was a wonderful Dyonisis. And I even think that the recasting of Chiron from Pierce Brosnan to Anthony Head worked extremely well. I highly recommend it, even if you haven't read the books - or perhaps especially if you haven't. If you have, then swallow expectations of what it should be and enjoy what it is. It won't win an Oscar, but it will bring you two hours of fun entertainment.
