Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

I honestly LOVED the movie. I guess it's only because I'm a big nerd :P

Based off of the popular book series Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan, the first installment The Lightning Thief is about a 12 year old boy named Percy who finds out that he is the son of Poseidon, Greek god of the seas and waters. He also learns that he is a Demigod (half-human half-god) being accused of stealing Zeus' thunderbolt...kinda like the ultimate weapon of mass destruction if it should fall into the wrong hands. Basically, he's trying to he's not the lightning thief.

Now I have't read any of the books so I'm not sure what parts were accurate with the book and what wasn't. In the movie, Percy is older...looks about 17, in which he is played by 18 year old Logan Lerman...and my golly he is freaking adorable! I was pretty much on the edge of my seat the whole time because I was fascinated at how much I knew about the Greek myths they intertwined within the movie, and of course the book. I didn't really like Annabeth, only because Percy gave her "the stare" lol. Seeing Sean Bean as Zeus, I was just like BOROMIR!!!!!!!!!!! Golly so much to write about but too lazy to put down :P

Oh and another reason why I'm all into the movie is because it had Supernatural elements to it...which anything that i can relate back to SuNat, I like lol. Hellhounds, Hades, lost dreams and souls, etc. Oh yea and Luke played by Jake Abel was on Supernatural as Sam and Dean's half brother...I was like freaking out when I saw him in the movie haha. Good times.

I would recommend the movie, others may differ but only a true nerd would appreciate the movie lol. Or maybe it's just me.

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief is now playing in theaters nationwide.
