Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

Blu-Ray Review: Silly ‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief’

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

CHICAGO – The most notable thing about “Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief,” now available on Blu-ray and DVD, is that it probably still holds position as the most horribly-titled film of the year. As for the actual movie, it follows in the footsteps of years of films trying to become the next “Harry Potter” franchise and, comparably, makes out much better than disasters like “Eragon” or “The Seeker: The Dark is Rising,” but that’s faint praise indeed.
