I loved this movie. You may hate it. I don't think many people will have only moderate feelings about it - you'll love it, or hate it.

The movie is unashamedly cliched, and tries to cram all of greek mythology into one film. Zeus's lightning bolt has been stolen, and he blames Poseidon's son. He wants it back in 14 days, or there will be war aka. the end of the world.

Everything that has ever been in greek mythology makes an appearance, and it's all very silly and impressive. The movie is lots of fun, with some good one liners and no real moments of idiocy. There are some good special effects, and the characters are played well and are likeable, unlike what the reviews generally said. I've never read the book, so I didn't notice if they changed anything.

If the thought of Medusa wearing oakleys makes your stomach turn, this is not the movie for you, but if you think it's funky that they got Uma Thurman for such a snazzy cameo, and walk around for half the movie with her head in a bag as their secret weapon, you'll definitely like this

8/10
