I can't say exactly how this movie will turn out. The director has the Diary of a Wimpy kid movies to his name so that is a plus. The problem stands that TLT could have worked as a stand alone movie. Sadly its supposed to be part of a series and thus TLT didn't set anything up for SOM. I have a feeling SOM will feel like a forced sequel even if it is good. I'm also not that hopeful for this movie because SOM was my least favorite of the Percy Jackson books
