Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters (originally written 8/9/2013)

Ok, I just saw this today, and it was no Pacific Rim, but it still was pretty good clunky, dopey, and adorable fun on the level of a good episode of Merlin. What it lacks in writing and its 2007-era special effects, it makes up in an increase in book accuracy, good action, likeable new cast members, and a fairly traumatic last 20 minutes for anyone who is as attached to the characters as I am.
