Percy Jackson e gli dei dell'Olimpo

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.

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 knew this was gonna be mid. The comics are the best adaptation I've seen so far and they've convinced me that motion picture adaptations of Rick's stories need to be animated. They blew through ~120 million to make a boring show with boring fights when they could've spent a fraction of that to deliver a show as entertaining as Avatar The Last Airbender, Young Justice, Invincible, etc.

I'm baffled by the people who imagined things in live-action when reading the books, some of the scenes sounded so goofy and outlandish that I couldn't imagine anything but a comic book come to life. I understand Rick felt pressure to match series like Harry Potter and Hunger Games and I think Walker Scobell has the kind of charisma to compete with the main actors from those franchises, but PJO was obviously never going to be like those books. They should've taken a risk and paved their own path.
