Percy Jackson and the Story Thief!

How dissapointing was Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief? Answer ... Very! As a lover of Greek Myth I was VERY excited to hear about this movie based upon a series of childrens books about a Demi god child searching for the missing thunderbolt of Zeus. However as the film unfolded it was clear that the story was nothing more than a Harry Potter rip off complete with it's own version of Hogwarts, Hermoine, Ron and Dumbledore! Even the myth inspired monsters weren't originally placed making the whole thing deathly dull. Thank the Greek Gods for Uma Thurmans camp Medusa possibly the only saving grace. Let's hope that the Gods see fit to ensure there's no sequal to this tutkey!
