Sadly 'Sea of Monsters' is also a really terrible copy of 'Harry Potter', and with worse looking visual effects than the first film.

What 5 critics are saying
Critical reception for Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters is largely negative, with most reviewers finding it a derivative and unexciting entry in the fantasy genre. The film's CGI and special effects were the most consistently noted positive element across reviews. Common criticisms include a predictable and overstuffed plot, bland characters, unfavorable comparisons to the Harry Potter series, and a poorly executed 3D conversion that added little value.

4.0Like yours truly, if you are not familiar with the franchise, there is way too much goobledygook in the film. There isn't a great deal of excitement in the story nor do the action scenes grab your attention. Since the film was converted and not shot in 3D, you wish they would have stuck to the conventional 2D instead of messing it up.

3.0More than the plot of Percy Jackson: Sea Of Monsters, the CGI is more entertaining. But the 3D doesn't add much to it. Logan Lerman as "Percy Jackson" is too bland and ordinary. Even the other characters are no better and that special charm is missing. The movie isn't perfect in several ways as big parts of the book are missing yet is an enjoyable and harmless tween-centric outing.

The best thing about this predictable film is undoubtedly the special effects. For want of anything better, Sea of Monsters is a mishmash of various similar films in this genre and a passable potpourri of Greek mythology retold with a contemporary veneer.
