Percy Jackson y los dioses del Olimpo

Having read and loved all the books (and even enjoying the films to some extent), I had high expectations for the new series adaptation.

However, upon finishing the first season, I couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed. There seemed to be so much potential for exciting scenes, thrilling moments, and epic action sequences, yet the entire first season fell short in delivering them. Many fans, myself included, found ourselves eagerly anticipating major developments in several episodes, only to be met with a lack of significant action.

Even the most memorable scenes from the books felt watered down, lacking the challenge and excitement they originally possessed. There were no spectacular moves or thrilling fights to be found.

While I understand that this adaptation is geared towards a younger audience, I still believe there is room for more action and excitement. I urge the creators to follow the books more closely and inject more energy into the series.

As a suggestion, I recommend looking at the new Airbender series, which targets a similar audience but manages to pack more action into its opening scene than the entire first season of Percy Jackson.

I'm hopeful that future episodes and seasons will explore these themes more deeply and deliver the excitement that fans of the books are craving.

Super disappointed. I was so excited to see the Percy Jackson series get another shot. I thought "finally, they'll do it justice." Somehow they screwed it up twice. The acting is bland, I don't feel any emotion coming off of the kid who plays Percy or any other charchter in this adaptation except for the mom. At least Logan Lermans version was funny. Several things cut out, or info dumped, and everything felt rushed. The whole Ms Dodds thing was a blip, they changed Gabe's character to be less hateable, Percy getting the pen felt not important. Events kept happening but no drama or build up actually happened. The scene with capture the flag was also interestingly done, and I don't mean that in a good way. The one good thing is the theme song and the soundtrack. Otherwise...as someone who grew up with these books when they first originally came out, I'm upset. With Rick being onboard, I had hope, safe to say that's gone.

I have not read the books, My daughters and wife have read them and were anxious for this series.

I really liked the actors and thought they did a decent job. The effects and look of the series were well done.

My problem was the series felt very rushed. After seeing the entire series I feel it could have been 2-5 episodes longer to supply more detail, build the world out, raise the stakes and allow us to get to know what's at stake.

I know books are always better...but remember I have not read the books and I could tell it was rushed.

My wife and daughter overall enjoyed the series, but were let down at how thin it seemed.

I plan to read the series now to see what I missed!

The personalities for characters Percy and Annabeth are so far off it hurts. I thought the big deal on this was that these actors were supposed to embody the characters so well, that looks didn't matter! Three episodes in and I'm not impressed. They made some weird changes to the story to shoehorn this snarky and combative new Percy in.

Percy starts off as whiney and clueless. No one is explaining things to him until he sounds like an idiot, and has stuck his foot in his mouth. He's rude, and not at all funny or caring about other people. Annabeth isn't supposed to be his best friend yet - but she is so hostile.

Whoever wrote the screenplays for these episodes needs to reread the source material.

The Aunty Em's storyline changes was a complete wasted disaster. I hope Disney would do better.

I feel like I'm being a little generous by giving this 6/10 stars, but I wanted to give this show the benefit of the doubt. But overall, I was sadly disappointed with the series. I'm a huge fan of the books, but I felt the show was so much more inaccurate to the books than what it should've been. There were SO MANY things that they changed from the book that felt completely unnecessary. The creators of this series kept saying that this show was gonna be much more accurate to the books than the movies that they made about 11 to 12 years ago. But as a whole it seemed like it was only a little bit more true to the source material. There were so many storylines and plot points that they kept adding that had nothing to do with the book. I was ok with them changing a couple things to keep the audience guessing or to add more context. But it feels like they changed everything just because they could, not because they needed to. I was really excited to watch this when it came out, but honestly it wasn't nearly as as good as I feel it could've been.
