What a fun and entertaining movie! It was so fun to see these colossal figures brought to life on the screen. I was pleasantly surprised to see so many "big name", seasoned actors taking different roles than usual. It was as if in their sesaoned years they are finally able to "let go" of being type-cast. The script then made room for the younger, up-coming generation of actors. Just as casting made room for the young actors to work with, and undoubtedly receive coaching from, accomplished actors; so the Greek gods of the film made room for the younger generation to grow and carry on a righted tradition of being demi-gods.
Action packed; great believable creatures; and just overall tons of fun for everyone!

In general I thought it was a lot of fun to watch, and very entertaining to see some of the old characters come back in one way or another. I was a bit surprised about the magnetism / alien theme toward the end. But when it was done I thought - what a great way to "end" the IJ series, with a look toward the future almost. I will admit that before I went, I was wondering what I might be looking at all night - an older Harrison Ford..... hmmmm. But I was pleasantly surprised that they played up his age to create a bit of underlying comedy - I'm glad they didn't try to hide it! We all get older - it's nice to know Mr Ford still has that sweetly disarming smile and can work his magic! Overall - fun, fun, fun! And my boys absolutely loved it! It's a great boy movie and they are living the IJ fantasy every day! Love it! Go see it! Have fun and suspend reality for a while!
