Watch Percy jackson Sea of Monsters Online My granddaughter enjoyed the Percy Jackson book series, but partly because I tell her stories, including stories from mythology, so that when she saw the first movie, where Percy faced the Monitor, or Chiron turned out to be a centaur, she was already familiar with what these things were. Yet I wonder how many modern kids are familiar with Greek mythology (or the Biblical stories for that matter) in school systems where political correctness seems to be behind the choice of books.
Watch Percy jackson Sea of Monsters Online Free In the first movie, Percy well played by Logan Lerman, is a geeky kid with ADHD and dyslexia who goes around with a clueless look on his face. Percy finds that he is actually the son of Poiseidon and has to flee for his life to Camp Halfblood, where he will be safe from monsters who go around trying to kill demigods, the sons and daughters of the Greek gods, The gods, by he way, have left Greec and have moved Mount Olympus to the top of the Empire State building and are running the civilized world from there.
In the first movie, Percy is accused of stealing Zeus’ lightning bolt, and by finding who really stole it prevents a major war on Mt. Olympus.
Watch Percy jackson Sea of Monsters Movie Fast forward to the second film. In this one, someone (Luke, the turncoat half blood of the first film) has poisoned the tree that controls the force field protecting the Camp. (backstory: The tree was a fallen daughter of Zeus, killed while protecting her friends and turned into a tree as a memorial, and as part of a new protection system for the camp).
The only way to cure the tree is to steal the Golden Fleece, which is hidden in the Sea of Monsters (aka the Bermuda triangle).and along the way they have to fight bad cyclops, a renegade demigod Luke who is helping Titan to reincarnate (he’s a bad guy), get out of Charybdis’ stomach, and of course steal the fleece.
Watch Percy jackson Sea of Monsters Movie Online The film turns into a routine quest movie, and like most sequels, is probably confusing to those who don’t know the backstory. And then there are lots of references who will be lost on those who didn’t study Bullfinch’s Mythology in school. Who is Charybdis, why is a cyclops Percy’s half brother, what is a hippocampus, who is Titan, and why do the three old lady cabdrivers have only one eye between them?
Luckily, most non geeks would know Charybdis from the monster in the return of the Jedi or in the Fellowship of the ring: big mouth to eat you my dear. Ah but how many understand why Clarice can command a confederate ironclad manned by zombie sailors? (hint: her father is the god of war). And how many non geeks would laugh when the messenger god Hermes (Nathon Fillion) now runs a UPS store in the modern version, remarks about all the good TV series being canceled…
A routine story you’ve seen a million times before, but with a bit more humor, and this time the hero is the geeky Percy who has ADHD and is dyslexic, not a superman or especially smart.
Watch Percy jackson Sea of Monsters Online So if you are an adult, and not into the series, it’s probably not worth your time: however, if you have an ADHD kid who needs to have a role model, or if you want to make your kids interested in ancient Greek mythology, well, the series is just the thing for you.
Watch Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters Online This might be easier to overlook if the story was more interesting, but it's just more of the same "you're the chosen one," "there's a prophecy" malarky that's so pervasive in fantasy fare nowadays. They may be staples, but they've been done to death of late. There's no real sense of wonder, suspense or, frankly, enjoyment left to be mined from them. While the young protagonists are supposed to be ordinary in their own extraordinary way, for demi-gods they're all pretty useless. Annabeth's specialty seems to be falling on her ass in every scene. And bigotry. Seriously, she really hates cyclops; she has her reasons, but she's an avowed cyclopsist (or whatever one would call a hater of all one-eyed beings). As a character, Percy isn't really wooden so much as he is uninteresting (Lerman does what he can). Grover is grating. Harry, Hermione and Ron they are not.Tyson is a kinder, gentler cyclops than most.
He's a sweet oaf who has no baggage with his brother; if anything he's ecstatic to have found him. It was refreshing that there wasn't any ham-fisted sibling rivalry introduced between them. The cyclops eye visual effect only intermittently works, though. Another new addition is Clarisse (Leven Rambin, playing a less lethal variation on her uber-competitive Hunger Games character Glimmer). The daughter of Ares, she's Percy's main rival, although in her mind he's a joke. She's a one-note snot.
