This is an era when fewer and fewer people can dream. The box office miracles staged in Twilight City, the madness of Harry Potter, the beautiful planet of Avatar, and the dreamscapes of alternate reality have all sold well. Price.

If it was three or two years ago, such a special effects drama with a perfect combination of Greek mythology and big Hollywood names would have won a lot of prizes, but now it is 2010, which is less than two years away from 2012. Zhengtai, beautiful boy, trio, CG, war, magic, love, playing games and watching the new generation who grew up through danmei do not buy it, the post-70s and 80s scolded the plot as boring and old-fashioned, and the elderly looked dizzy.
Director Chris Columbus, who has filmed "Home Alone", "Harry Potter", "Night at the Museum" and "Fantastic Four", is no longer a teenager who can dream, but a story like a preaching of saints. The plot is very simple. Misdiagnosed as dyslexic, Percy accidentally learns of his life and enters a "Second Generation of Gods" school with the theme of ancient Greek wars. He embarks on an adventurous journey and finally grows into a shining hero. This film educates everyone not to mess around, not to leave illegitimate children, to have filial piety and love, to talk about family and emotions, a very mentally handicapped and harmonious main theme movie to complete the task.

The top floor of the Empire State Building replaces Mount Olympus, and the Greek gods stage a chaotic and harmonious life drama in America. Zeus, the god of the gods, Poseidon, the god of the sea, and Hades, the subversive rock king, are dazzling. The 16-year-old Xiao Zhengtai, the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea, also includes the daughter of the goddess of wisdom Athena and the son of the god Hermes. What Zeus lost this time was the lightning rod, proclaiming the passing of Prometheus, the fire thief.
Medusa's Apple iPhone and LADYGAGA's songs, as well as flying Converse shoes, are a classic of product placement. In the era of mixed blood between gods and human beings, messengers can be bought with money, Pluto is easily deceived by women, youthful love at the beginning of love, last-minute rescue of heroes, the world and the gods are nothing more than this. In the dusty battle, at the end, the handsome student Lucky, who was the initiator of the sun, was thrown into the sea. I want to cut the grass without removing the roots, and look forward to the follow-up.

Regardless of whether the story is made up or not, it must be mentioned that the earliest institutional democracy originated from the Greek city-state period of Athens. Magical colors and power struggles tell us that God's children are at war, and true democracy is always in sight.

When Greek mythology is raped and the world's ancient civilization is deconstructed, who takes it seriously, business is king, it's just a movie. Chaos battle, rejoice, long live entertainment!
