The Percy Jackson movie industry didn’t deserve a second chance. Yet the “Sea of Monsters” was created, and it failed just as miserably as its prequel.
“The Lightning Thief” failed in nearly every aspect, but “The Sea of Monsters” was even worse because the creators refused to fix everything they got wrong the first time. Nearly every detail of the novel was changed, from Percy and Tyson’s battle in the gym to Percy knowing the prophecy early.
Not only did the film stray from the novel’s story, but it also had no real plot of its own. Since so much content was taken out, the extended battle scenes were too much, essentially making the movie a collection of fights with very little character interaction. “The Sea of Monsters” gets my vote for one of the worst movies of the year.
