Yes and no. If you are someone who has never read the series, then for you the movie is just good or ok, but it isn't anything you will remember in a few months and may only watch it if there is nothing better on TV.

For those that have read the books however, the movies are an insult. You can't help but feel like the movie is trying to slap you in the face with all the things they changed from book to movie. I mean I know that every book to movie adaptation has to change things to make things fit, but when you say "That happened differently in the book" every few minutes, the movie quickly starts to make you angry. The also push a lot of the plot from the book out in place of the three heroes finding these pearls to escape the Underworld, which Percy got from his dad in one chapter.
