I just watched it....And while its better than the lightning thief (maybe thats just because I knew what was coming) its still pretty bad. Well.. time to crack this baby open... However I will NOT compare this to the book

Lets start with the most obvious flaw... The acting. And unlike the first movie where EVERYONE who had lines did a pretty appalling job... This time a few of the actors actually do a passable job. Mainly Logan Lerman, Stanly Tucci, and Nathan Fillion (could be forgetting one or two) they do the best they can with what they are given. Other than them... the acting for everyone else is really bad. Standouts include Alexandra Daddario and Brandon T Jackson (They were never going to be any good anyways...)

The plot: One can read it on wikipedia and figure out how bad it is...You know what... I'm not even go into it because I don't feel like spoiling the movie (does anyone care?) do note that at times it feels like a harry potter rip off (had to be said...)

Characters: Again a weak aspect of the movie. At no point in the movie do you actually care about any of the characters save Percy (and even in his case.. not much)

The CGI in the movie is awful. Its 2013! Why does CGI this bad still exist? The script is horrendus. So is everything else. The only reason this movie is better than its predecessor, is because its less boring. It still sucks and would definitely reccomend you not see it.
