Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

This movie was perfect for my ten year old, he loved it from start to finish. This is the first of Rick Riordan's books to be made into a film.

Percy Jackson is an extraordinary New York kid, he just doesn't know it. He is dyslexic and has ADHD... as it turns out there are very good reasons for this. Why does he discover that reading Ancient Greek is easier than reading english? What will he do about his boundless energy?

Lightning Thief is a fantastic romp through the Olympiad and we encounter gods and demi-gods alike. Obviously if you know the books the plot will be no surprise but it's hard to avoid a film spoiler here.

The film stars Logan Lerman as  Percy, Uma Thurman, ex James Pond Pierce Brosnan, Sean Bean and Steve Coogan. This movie is directed by Chris Columbus who is well known for his work on the Harry Potter films.

Go and see the film, enjoy the effects and join Percy as he discovers just who he is and how powerful he is.
