I am a fan of greek mythology so this movie was a must see for me. I read reviews about it a while ago, and it sounded like most people were not impressed. Well, either was I. 1 out of 5 stars.
The movie for one had horrible graphics. I can normally get past this if the story line is good. However it was not. Its hard for me to understand how someone can suck at telling a story that is based on myths that have been around for centuries. You already have your characters, your story, all you need to do is deliver it. Besides that fact, the movie was based off of a video game. Again the story is already laid out for you.
I can't decide if it was the actors i hated or the story line. I think it was both though. The story never introduced main characters. There was a band of about 7-8 guys that the movie focused on and I only knew who one of them was. The rest of them ended up dying after about 45min and no introduction or just completely disappearing. Besides that new characters kept appearing. No one in this group of 7 men seemed to care that they had new company and i suppose the audience was supposed to feel the same way.
I guess the actors did an okay job. I will comment on zeus though. For some reason instead of being dressed in a toga he was wearing this cheap metal armor possibly made of aluminum. It looked a lot like a space suit.
Don't see it.
haha!

thanks for all your help for the reception--i know i keep saying it, but that's cause i totally mean it and don't feel like i can say thank you enough ;)
jaren and i watched the movie percy jackson and the olympians last week; you might like it if you like greek mythology. i like greek mythology but i thought it was super cheesy. i mean, it's hard to take a character seriously when his name is percy lol. they could have called him perceus once they knew who he really was. but anyway, hope all is well!
