Percy Jackson is on a dangerous quest. Outrunning monsters and outwitting gods, he must journey across America to return Zeus' master bolt and stop an all-out war. With the help of his quest mates Annabeth and Grover, Percy's journey will lead him closer to the answers he seeks: how to fit into a world where he feels out of place, and find out who he’s destined to be.

Critics Consensus

A faithful adaptation of Rick Riordan's novels, Percy Jackson and the Olympians is a lovingly realized odyssey through adolescence and myth.

3/5

With a charming central trio, an intriguing quest and plenty of magical moments, this faithful reboot is a fun (if familiar) family-friendly fantasy.

What I like most about this adaptation of the first novel in Rick Riordan’s best-selling fantasy series is that it speaks to the audience the books were written for: younger primary school students.

The novels are agreeably zippy, and Percy is an engaging character. On the screen, the wonky FX detracts from the charm. But those over Harry Potter and still looking for a magic-wielding underdog in whom to invest will find lots here to enjoy.

2.5/5

The quirks that make the book such an outlier in the fantasy sphere have all but disappeared... If the distinguishing features of something are gone, what is left but a plain reminder of what could be and what you once experienced?

Percy Jackson comes to the screen with a faithful adaptation of the original novels and increased production values that rival the original film adaptations

Very faithful adaptation, way more accurate than the movies were. I thoroughly enjoyed this show!

The Disney+ series took a beloved, high-energy childhood story and turned it into a dry, brightly-lit lecture where characters talk about the plot instead of living it. It completely ruined the pacing, drained the magic, and insulted the fans who wanted actual excitement

Great adaptation to a great story- love when the author is actively involved with the engineering of the story !!!

Questionable casting, bad action scenes, annoying actors destroying good characters. It got so cringy even my kids wanted me to turn it off in the middle of episode three. They loved the old movies and the books tho.

Incredibly bland and two-dimensional, even as a kids movie. Action scenes are largely short and nonsensical, and overall production quality is mediocre.

So good!! Watched the first two episodes when it initially came out and didn’t stick the landing for me but was looking for something to watch yesterday and finished it. Fell in love with these characters as they are so charming and really tie a great plot together. Overall so amazing!!!
