Undoubtfully, cinematography has been my passion since a very young age. Even now, watching a new movie or series always prompts me to ask a lot of questions to the author. Thus, every little essay about a title is definitely not a spoiler, but rather an attempt to explore the idea.

Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief

Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief

Sci-Fi & Fantasy

Percy Jackson came to replace the "aging" Harry Potter. There are five books already written about the boy's adventures, so you will not be missing Potter for the long time. Rick Reordan, the author of Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief before becoming a writer, taught at the American school the ancient Greek literature and was a leader in summer camp, where he conceived the idea about the Half Blood. So kids, watching a movie will feel themselves like at the lesson of history in junior high, where it is very lucidly explained that children born from gods and humans, are called demigods, and that Athena has long feud with Poseidon. Of course, the situation that the Greek gods live in America, but still continue to enter into relations with ordinary citizens, looks more than a comic. But in the movie there is no explanation for this divine movement. If you forgive this fact, you will definitely consider Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief as a good adventure movie for the teenagers.
