movie review - Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2017.10.22

This is a movie telling of a book I have read to my son. Movie remakes of books are often problematic, but I think that despite the choppy plot they've managed to maintain a fairly consistent tone and anyone who's had the misfortune of reading my mini-reviews knows, I put a lot of stock in that. What I liked about this is the relative novelty of the story and the line that it walks between teenage stuff and plot that will appeal to all ages.

Recommended.
