I love the concept of telling the tales of the Greek gods. This was an excellent movie that really brought them to life in a modern-day context. My 10-year old has read all the books, and said that the movie missed out big chunks from the book, and thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It was long, so could not include all the detail of the book. It dealt beautifully with the storyline it took. Visually stunning. Loved Pierce Brosnan, nice to see him age gracefully, and cast in a brand new role. Loved Poseidon, great actor, always such a heartfelt performance.
