I've managed to locate this new international trailer for PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS: IS THERE SERIOUSLY A SUBTITLE AFTER THAT, which up until now only had a brief spot where a kid takes an elevator to Mount Olympus.

In this new trailer, we get to actually see what the hell is going on in this movie, and it appears that Percy is the bastard child of Poseidon, and has magic water powers because of it. He meets homeless Pierce Brosnan who gives him a transforming sword pen and tells him that he has to save the world. Good times!

I actually think the concept of demi-god children with powers running around earth is rather cool, but that being said, this movie looks a bit too ridiculous for my taste. I guess we’ll have to see.

Extra Tidbit: Bonus points for being the only movie ever to have an iPhone and Medusa in the same scene.

I swear, if this is yet another Greek Gods-related movie that casts Hades as the badguy, someone's getting punched in the dick.

Sweet
The first preview I saw of this looked pretty lame. Now that I saw this one I am actually pretty excited for this movie. Looks freakin rad.

Uma Thurman
She should be doing more interesting movies... great actress in my opinion... but it seems she's stuck doing bad comedies or appearing as secondary characters once in a while...

Hm...
Uma Thurman as Medusa...interesting.



I feel like they should say "from the guy that brought you the 2 most boring and unimaginative Harry Potter movies" in these ads, just to clarify.

Just finished the series...
And while the writing is predictable and amateurish, there's no denying it is still a fun page turner (exactly like Harry Potter).



This doesn't look like a bad adaptation yet. I'm in.

The old European mythologies will get some well deserved movies with the effects of today, this one, Clash of the Titans and Thor. Question is; which one is and will be the coolest ? Greek mythology or Norse mythology ? :)

LOL
This looks decently cool for now ! Even though the 20th Century Fox aprt at the beginning gives me doubts about it. I'm looking forward to this for now.

Jack Ryan wanted to be the American James Bond, Jason Bourne did it better.



Now Percy Jackson wants to be American Harry Potter. I suspect those movies with sparkling vampires and shirtless werewolves already snatch the lady part of his audience though.

Smart Move...
Making the kids older was a smart move. In the first book, Percy is either 11 or 12, which works in a novel but would look a little ridiculous on screen (an 11 year old slaying a minotaur...yeah...). Anyway, the books, while a little shoddily written, are tons of fun, so I'm pretty jazzed for this movie.

Mehhh....
The teaser trailer had me riveted. This seemed like a teenage 'Clash of the Titans' or "God of War." Pierce seems like he is just phoning it in with his dialogue delivery and isn't Medusa suppose to be a hideous hag with snakes on her head? She didn't look scary nor threatening to me but just somebody with venomous dreadlocks.

It's based off a series of books about teen demi-gods and the books are pretty good hopefully the movie doesn't disappoint.
