‘Percy’ doesn’t myth the mark

By Stacha Khatib
Western Sun staff writer

Ancient mythological tales are set in the modern-day world in “Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief,” as we follow the half-breed son of a human
mother (Catherine Keener) and Poseidon, Percy, played by Logan Lerman.

Percy is in a race against time to save the world with only 14 days to find Zeus’
lightning bolt. All the while having to complete tasks set before him and save his mother from Hades and his against-her-will lover, Persephone, played “PERCY” is a modern retelling of classic Greek mythology.

Logan Lerman plays the title role. ‘Percy’ doesn’t myth the mark by Rosario Dawson.

Director Chris Columbus successfully returns with this action filled movie, based on the first of a popular series of books.

This movie is sure to be enjoyed by teens, Harry Potter fans, and by those who have not already read the book series.

This entertaining tale will take your imagination from the human stone garden of Medusa (Uma Thurman), to Las Vegas, to the Parthenon replica in Nashville, Tennessee.
