I dunno what some of the reviewers on here are watching, they must be watching a different show to me. Walker Scobell IS Percy Jackson. The actress playing Annabeth has captured her personality perfectly the lad playing Grover has done the same. Like many young actors they aren't perfect in their abilities but neither were the Harry Potter trio in the early films.

Firstly some Percy fans need to chill out with some events from the book being changed or left out, this happens in every adaption of a book to an screen and sometimes it's direct from the author. Also we'd be on season one for years if we had every single instance from the book put in. It is a faithful adaption in every way so far, yes there are some very slight alterations but all the main events are there.

Finally, it's just a good show, I've got friends I encouraged to watch this messaging me saying how good it is and now want to loan the books off me.

I really hope this is the beginning of something special for the PJO universe.

First off the movie itself. Pretty standard superhero movie with an anti hero. Starts of outside the lines, gradually comes round, defeats the bad guy and everyone's mates again.

Good action, snappy cheesy one liners, the rock. Don't need much else for a watchable superhero movie.

The rock said this was going to change the DC universe and from the looks of the post credit scene that was clearly the intention, it eventually tied everything together, all the other DCEU movies could finally be moulded into a universe arc.

I am all for James Gunns DC universe, HOWEVER he seems intent on creating it around the 'B' heroes. You just can't do that. While I'm not discrediting John cenas peacemaker, a peacemaker movie is hardly going to have the same draw as a superman movie. If you want a DC universe you need the justice league, the same way the MCU needed the avengers. It needs its big names.

I was so hyped after that post credit scene. Finally those surprisingly well casted justice league heroes are going to get the arcs and movies they deserve.

Then it was all ripped away.

Sadly to me this movie is just a reminder of what could have been.

I hope I'm proven to be wrong.
