From advertising and marketing campaigns to brands and products and our architecture and political systems, so much of our current world owes tribute to those enchanting tales from so long ago.ĭespite all that influence, very few creative endeavors exist in homage to that debt we owe the ancients. Except for Christian influences, Greek Mythology defines our modern society far more than any other culture.
It is a tragedy that it is not any better, and for more reasons than just the story itself. From shallow characters to a nonsensical plot and a total misunderstanding of Greek Mythology, this film was doomed to fail from its first draft. Even with all that potential, the film fell flat for most audiences.

With such an insane cast and the talent of the director of the first 2 Harry Potter films, Chris Columbus, this movie should have been knocked out of the park. Being for children or loved by children is not a defense for poor quality. Even as a kids’ movie, this film must endure scrutiny from an analytical mind and stand on its own. The books once seemed like the pinnacle of storytelling before these fans were exposed to better young adult fantasy series, and until they matured enough to realize its stark flaws. Many fans who grew up loving the Percy Jackson series have since found themselves souring on the story the older they get, the books and the movies alike.
With this news, a retrospective of the original Percy Jackson film, Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, is in order.
Disney+ has officially announced that their Percy Jackson TV show is now casting, the new series coming soon.
