Percy Jackson e os Olimpianos

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.

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.

So very far from the mark. I had hope that the film adaptations could redeem themselves, since this was a huge part of many of our childhoods. The script is bad enough, but it is further ruined by pointless story changes, and boring scenes that leave you just wanting it to be over already.

Disney yet again runs out of ideas, even when the source material is right in front of them. Sincerely hoping that the series drops, same as what happened to the movies, to leave room for a possible, successful reboot in the future.

Watching is a waste of time. Read the books and preserve your view of the characters since this isn't them.

As someone who has read the books ten times over I couldn't be more disappointed by this show. The number of times I found myself shaking my head and laughing at various scenes in disgust is so unbelievably shocking to me, as I was realizing that I enjoyed the movies more than this show.

With Rick Riordan himself spearheading this show I expected to get what I've been waiting for since I was a kid, but the terrible acting and changes to the story made me unable to make it through episode three. Annabeth is completely unconvincing (zero redeeming qualities) and is easily the worst casting in the show. I also find myself actively rooting against Percy, he's so unlikable it's comical. Hearing his voice just angers me.

The second I reach the Medusa scene I had to stop watching. How Rick saw the negative effect changing the story had on the movies and decided to repeat that same mistake is baffling.

I tried to give it one more shot and simply couldn't. The show is unwatchable, plain and simple. This is never making it to season two. I can't even blame Disney for this one, Rick failed us.

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.
