A little movie review: I saw Percy Jackson and the Olympians last week and I am sorry to give it a thumbs down. I thought the casting was good, especially Logan Lerman as Percy and Brandon T. Jackson as Grover. But it felt like something was missing and not just half of what happens in the book, because other movies have overcome having to cut out a lot of plotlines. The gods were a little too nice, Percy's mom mysteriously knew how to get to Mount Olympus via the Empire State Building, and the celebrity cameos were a bit too much. Take my advice and read the book instead.
