Percy Jackson

There are plenty of adjectives to describe things in a negative way. Awful, terrible,yabominable, atrocious, horrid, poor, deplorable, lamentable, etc etc etc. But some things are just pain bad.

This movie that I saw yesterday. The Percy Jackson thing. What the hell was that? The acting was some of the more mediocre I’ve seen recently and the whole direction of the movie is simply BAD! Moreover, the characters are not well built and that totally ruins a story for me. How am I supposed to believe that a boy cares about the things he’s learning just after he found out his mother supposedely died? So many reused cliches! But cliches aren’t bad, as long as they don’t feel reused. And these ones? They felt like reusing the reused! Pretty bad! The worst thing is, it was na adaptation from a book, and I could amost bet that there’s a good book behind it! I mean, I liked Harry Potter and it was not because of the movies. I think the movie characters have a total lack of justified motivations and that things are explained well enough. So, probably this was just that. A bad adaptation! And that sucks, now I’ll never be interested in reading that book, which is probably good, since the plot in itself had potential! What is it? BAD!
