My wife and daughter wanted to go so we went.

 

Harry Potter type of movie but unlike Harry Potter I did not read/force my daughter to read book first although she said she did. Decently constructed movie although plot and actual thief was pretty obvious to me. It had a good secondary cast; the primary ones were too old for their parts unlike the Harry Potter movies where they choose intentionally younger actors.

 

A couple of surprises were in it for me including this non-spoiler: not all of the Greek Gods fit Greek racial types which is either director being PC or a casting director who decided to forget history can just case best actors for role. One additional note - movie does not end at start of credits which is something a lot of movies are doing now since credits are soooooo long.

 

There were a lot of characters unnamed in movie but got credit implying there was fair amount of material left over perhaps for DVD version.

 

We paid AMC matinee price so it was a fair movie value; it is a film which i think shows better on big screen.
