Worth Seeing Twice

What a great movie! The effects were amazing. The colors alone were mesmerizing. It was well cast and the story line was engaging. I barely noticed the length of the film. I saw it in both formats and recommend the 3D while it is still in theaters. Parents, be advised there is a lot of language, but it is true to the character in the film. This movie will send you on visual journey you will want to experience again. It is a new high in the movie industry.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Book Was Better

If you read the series, you know the movie ventured far from the story line. Entire scenes and characters were left out. The whole plot of the quest was rewritten to fit the big screen. The movie was okay for ages 10+, but smaller kids might find some scenes scary. There is a surprise ending during the credits that will make them jump. The special effects were great and it was entertaining, but to say it will be the next Harry Potter blockbuster is a stretch. We enjoy Rick Riordan's books, but hope he has more involvement if they choose to make any sequels. Great books for ages 9-15 though!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
