Percy Jackson is this decade’s Harry Potter, and his story isn’t much different. However, what makes The Lightning Thief so great is its tie-ins to history and Greek mythology. I’m not sure if it was intentionally kept secret, or if I just hadn’t kept up-to-date on the film, but Uma Thurman, as Medusa, and Rosario Dawson, as Persephone, are great surprises. They play their roles amazingly, especially for such short on-screen time. My only regret about this film was that we didn’t get to see/hear more backstory on the character that actually stole Zeus’ bolt. Nonetheless, I look forward to more movies being produced in this series.

Love, love this story! With wonderful characters and a fun-filled story make me want to read the books this movie is based on. I can’t wait for the sequel!
