You lovers of fantasy will have to review this movie and let me know if it's worth going to for a couple of minutes of KMK, although several of the other actors I like, too. As a rule, this is the kind of story I really don't care for (like Stardust), but my elder daughter might get a kick out of.

I am a lover of fantasy (Harry Potter, The Lord of the Ring, Narnia..), but this is not very intriguing, according to me. It's strange, but maybe a movie...

Just something to note, the books are geared for tweens and teens, not adults. Doesn't mean they aren't good stories. Just might not be of great interest to adults-beyond Kevin as Poseidon at least

Yes, but even the other books cited by me are written for tweens and teens, but they are very beautiful!

Okay, I admit that this is for teens, but this is a VERY VERY politically incorrect, nearly realistic novel, which makes it more fantastic than that scarred naive guy with spectacles who cannot control his annoying emotions during puberty but do not have to guts to do something radical in front of the flat antagonists. I quit that guy after reading his fifth book. Don't even mention his movies (except the third movie, which is why the director was fired by the producers, because he is too good for them ). Percy Jackson won over him right at the moment they were born: PJ is a bastard son. The relationship around him is a mess. The other guy cannot even beat that! The PJ series is the middle of A Series of Unfortunate Events and Darren Shan (the former wraps the reality with a candy wrapper, and the latter is too dark and depressing, I mean REAL depression). The spectacle guy? Cannot even get into this league.

Ive never read Harry Potter but I didn't much care for the movies...One thing that puts me off in a movie is a dark movie if you know what I mean and the HP movies were all dark and dreary....Lord of the Rings was an exception to this rule but thats just an amazing story and an amazing world thats sprung from and amazing imagination its just so different....Percy Jackson is a completely different story and character and possible a bit more of a likable character in a modern time which is interesting and easy to relate to. Also he is a kid with issues and he is going to obviously rise up to the occasion ie the underdog makes it in the end. Ive gotten on a bit further in the book now and Poseidon has been mentioned and he is quite an intricate part of the plot so if they wished with film license that is they could add him in, a few times even tho' its not in the book. The pace is picking up...Im still not captured by it but its at least an easier read for the moment I am bemused that the entrance to the under world is LA and the entrance to Olympus is NYC (empire state)

I have to disagree with that. I think those movies are just a bunch of of kids movies. To me, they cannot even be mentioned as dark movies. Oh... I think someone is going to miss a Ray Stevenson's fantasy movie coming up then.
