Hoping to join the ranks of "Harry Potter" comes yet another adaptation of a young-adult fantasy series. Despite an easy premise of Greek gods and a teenage boy's journey of self-discovery, "Percy Jackson" has difficulty in finding a niche amongst the target audience. Some scenes are expectantly cheesy while others may be too violent for kids. As quickly as the story begins, no details are spared for what is to be a fast-paced movie with special effects but a weak storyline. What saved this film for me was the sole basis of Greek mythology itself. Nothing beats seeing Uma Thurman with a head full of snakes. That is, until "Clash of the Titans" makes its remake-debut in early April.
Rating: 2½ stars
