    Let's admit it.  I'm a bit of a nerd.  I like Greek mythology.  I used to look up Greek mythology in high school for fun.  For fun.  It's sad I know, but I liked the premise of the movie (with the Greek gods alive and their offspring still among us).  I haven't read any of the Percy Jackson books, though after this movie I think I might.  Let's get on with the review:  The Good:Casting:  Logan Lerman did a great job as the title character.  He's charismatic and pretty funny.  Brandon T.

BUT the son of the sea-god is immediately a better fighter and better strategist than all of them? D'oh!...
