Customer Ratings & Reviews

the Lightning Thief is a good movie. Not great, although your elementary age kid might think so. Your tweeners may ogle the actors and as their parent you might enjoy a few funny scenes and a few special effects. It is fun to see how characters tie in to Greek Mythology, if you know it, and who is who or begat by whom. Otherwise, unless you just love the Disney Channel, your attention may wander as an adult. It's a good one to sit though with your kids and create discussion and answer questions about the classical characters, so all in all, it gets a thumbs up.

This is a fantastic movie. Teenage kids will love this and they will also love the books that go with these movies! Fantastic way to introduce some greek mythology concepts.

If you liked the first one you will like this one. If you hated the first one, I am not sure why you are even looking at this review. I enjoyed it and will watch it again.

Yet another teen movie adapted on the big screen, but with some spectacular visual effects and a story which is refreshing with some good moments. Recommended for family entertainment.

I enjoyed watching this movie. It has everything you would want in a movie, action suspense and finally sarcasm.

I thought it was a good movie, although I haven't read the books. People who have read the series will tell they took liberties with the storyline.

I bought this movie for my son who is a teenager. He enjoyed the movie very much, as did my other son . They have watched it multiple times.

We had a movie night with friends. They weren't enthuastic about watching it, but I put it in to play. After they watched it they thought it was a really good movie

A nice movie adaptation of a favorite book series. Great after reading the book.

Wonderful movie for the kids to watch. Also the book is good to. This is a wonderful series to watch. Great for kids. Get to know your Greece Gods

like this very much. this was purchased to replace a lost copy. we enjoyed the second movie also. i dont know why they arent making any more of the movies.

I bought this for my daughter because she is enthralled with every thing Grecian & she has watched this movie so many times - it is crazy.

Nice basic simple to use dvd. I use this for a school viewing and it even looked good on the big projector.

A modern teenage boy finds out he is Poseidon's son and has been accused of stealing Zeus's lightning bolt. Entertaining for the whole family!

Not the super special effects are many other movies of this type, but fairly good story line and interesting. Best for a younger person.

A friend told me I might like this and he was right. A lot of twists and turns and a great adventure right in your living room!

This movie is such a great movie the whole family will enjoy!!! As a mom, I enjoy watching it and have watched it a few times!

My boys like it. Nothing amazing but good enough for kids and it has some fun effects. The books are weakly written and this movie translated over about right.

My wife and I purchased this movie for our 12 year old boys. We watched the movie with the boys and enjoyed it almost as much as they did!

I really enjoyed this movie a lot. I had purchased the other movie that was similar to this one but different.
