I had to talk my 12,10, and 8 year old into going to see it with me, but within the first 15 minutes they were enthralled! The plot moved along at a nice clip and had just the right balance of humor and action. The movie was much more enjoyable than I thought it would be. My kids are now begging me for books on Mythology so they can learn all about the Greek gods. Any movie that inspires a desire to learn is great in my book!
