Good food requires a good cook

Recently, I watched two films related to ancient Greek mythology, one is the "Pirates of God Fire", and the other is "The Battle of the Gods" which seemed to be quite popular a while ago. "Battle" is still a 3D version, but I watched it while lying in front of the computer, so I couldn't deeply feel the grand scene of the film's fire. At the current level of piracy I've watched these two films, the special effects of "Pirates of Fire" are better than those of "Clash of the Gods", although their plots are so weak.

Surprised to see Brosnan and Uma Thurman in this movie, one of them is a Medusa, it seems that the background of the movie is still a lot, and to be able to invite these big names to be the green leaves, it can be seen that the filmmakers are actually still Pretty ambitious to make this story an instant hit. It's a pity that the plot is too child-like, and I can only watch a popcorn movie set up by a lot of beautiful knives, and there is a butt of scolding behind it.

In fact, the theme of ancient Greek mythology is really not difficult to shoot well under the current CG technology so developed. It is not impossible to make a series and challenge "The Lord of the Rings". For example, the one that appeared in this movie The nine-headed monster Cerberus and Medusa are both very eye-catching monsters in Western mythology, at least several grades higher than the zombie army in "The Lord of the Rings". It's pretty exciting to think about the battle of the gods and monsters. If I knew it earlier, it would be better to invite Peter Jackson to direct this Percy Jackson. Maybe it will really be another classic.

Therefore, the birth of a good film, the skill of the director and screenwriter, is actually the most important.

    The rhythm of the movie is too fast, and at the beginning, the foreshadowing is omitted and the scene is desperately rushed. I don't like the five-pass and six-fighting generals who are looking for pearls, especially Medusa's complete rewrite of the legend, and such an easy-to-use head has since disappeared! There is no explanation for why people are so convinced that Percy stole the fire. Then there are the gods of Olympus who are really lewd, and collectively go to the world to shoot and save seeds. Sheep men are very strange, which woman has such a strong taste for mating with sheep!

    Hades, Medusa, and those monsters are so pitiful, first being raped by Zeus' illegitimate son in Clash of the Gods, and then being ravaged by Poseidon's illegitimate son here. And the stunts in this film are relatively pediatric, and "Harry Potter" is simply perfect compared to this.

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief quotes

  • Grover: So, uh, Perce... what do you remember?

    Percy Jackson: Some crazy dream. I don't know. There was a monster. My mon was there. Well- well, you were there, too, but you were some weird hybrid, man-goat *thing*! Woah!

    Grover: Yeah. The politically correct term is Satyr.

  • Grover: [the Ferryman just burned the money he gave him] That was a Hundred and Seventy dollars!

    Percy Jackson: Wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait. The drachma. The drachma!

    [Percy give the Ferryman the drachmas]

    Ferryman: Climb aboard.

    Grover: Thanks for telling me, man, you're burning money. We're in a recession. That's treason.
