Percy Jackson : Sea Of Monsters (2013) 8/10

Starring : Logan Lerman, Alexandra Daddario, Brandon T Jackson, Douglas Smith, Jake Abel
Director : Thor Freudenthal
Running Time : 107 mins

When they discover that their half-blood hideout is losing its protective barrier, Percy Jackson (Lerman) and his friends embark on a mission to find the Golden Fleece and use it to heal the dying trees surrounding their home, but Luke (Abel), the lightning thief himself, wants the fleece to bring Kronos back from the dead in order to destroy Olympus.

This is an action-packed and entertaining follow up to the 2010 Lightning Thief movie. Quite why it’s taken three years for the sequel is anyone’s guess, but thankfully this was worth it. Unlike many of the other franchise movie series based on popular teen novels, this is in part educational, teaching kids about Greek legend in a fun and accessible way, so here’s hoping it isn’t another three years for the third instalment.
