PRO REVIEWS ----------------------------------------
"The Thor Freudenthal-helmed sequel lacks the energetic zip of its predecessor" (Michael Rechtshaffen: The Hollywood Reporter)
----------------------------------------
"An epic showcase for mediocre CGI and slapdash screenwriting" (Peter Debruge: Variety)
----------------------------------------
"'Sea of Monsters' is diverting enough...but it doesn’t begin to approach the biting adolescent tension of the Harry Potter movies" (Andy Webster: The New York Times)
----------------------------------------
"Nathan Fillion is the movie's brightest spot (...) He makes a quip about how the best TV series always get canceled, in a nod to 'Firefly', the iconic sci-fi show in which he starred (...) Rating: ** (out of four)" (Claudia Puig: USA Today)
----------------------------------------
"There are plenty of bad films to get riled up about in the summer. 'Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters' isn't one of them. This is harmless tween-centric fun" (Peter Hartlaub: San Francisco Chronicle)
----------------------------------------
"Like some hybrid beast out of Greek mythology, this young-adult sequel has the body of a 'Harry Potter', the head of a 'Twilight', the feet of a 'Hunger Games' and the tail, oddly, of a 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' (...) Rating: * (out of four)" (Sara Stewart: New York Post)
