I like Rick Riordan's books. I'm not smitten with them like many others but I do like them. But these films... they were kind of boring. The only reason why I stuck with them and watched them both - besides the fact that I bought them, that is ;) - was that Alexandra Daddario was in them, playing Annabeth Chase. Alex is so, so cool! I adore both her and her brother, Matt Daddario. They're just too precious for words.
But back to the movies. I don't know. The story did follow the books more or less but they amped up the ridiculous factor, especially in the first movie. The second one was better but still... some of the more nutty bits were downright cringe-worthy for me. Maybe if I were a kid, I would see it differently, that's true. Oh well...
So, 5 movies down, 45 to go! W00t!
