The story is interesting, but the filming is not very atmospheric

1. It's not as bad as the online comments, you can take a look.

2. The biggest advantage is that the more famous events, legends and details in Greek mythology are smoothly rubbed into one movie. It's kind of silly, but it's still interesting.

3. The biggest disadvantage is that the shooting is not atmospheric enough, even a little petty.

4. To say that it is not atmospheric enough is compared to other films involving Greek mythology, such as "Clash of the Gods", which was released at the same time as it. This is reflected in many aspects: first of all, the main story is a little weak. "Percy Jackson and the Thief of Fire" is an ordinary teenager saving his mother. Incidentally, helping Zeus to find a cane is naturally not as good as "All" In War of the Gods, Hades summoned a sea monster to destroy humans. Secondly, the settings of each scene are a bit imposing and imposing, such as Mount Olympus, the Underworld, Medusa's lair, and so on. Third, the character setting is too common, especially the three Hades, Medusa, and Athena, it really doesn't feel like that at all. Fourth, the effects are more general.

5. Although the film is a little short-lived, the overall quality is acceptable, and the story is well told. The most important thing is to intercept the fragments of Greek mythology that ordinary people are more familiar with, and it looks relatively friendly. Especially for friends who have feelings for "Saint Seiya", this film is definitely worth watching.

6. Last but not least, Uma Thurman was a bad idea for Medusa. Uma Thurman is a good actor, but its image is neither glamorous nor seductive, and the overall shape fails. Only this famous banshee was played as an ordinary clown. Compared with the Medusa shown in "Clash of the Gods", the judgment is high.

    Satisfaction or not, because there are too many cultural elements in the film to dig. But "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief", which is supported by a very wonderful original book, is only like a half-baked egg in the film's story, which makes people lose a lot of their due appetite.

    The director wanted to make it a classic like "Harry Potter", but he didn't expect the tiger to be like an anti-dog, and the level was not even reached by "The Chronicles of Narnia".
