I have not read the book or even know what the story is about. I have been careful not to build any sort of expectations for this one. Well... here's the way I would break down the movie.
1. Story/Screenplay - If this is an adaptation from a book, it has failed miserably. the is flat and two dimensional. Plot wise, the movie is extremely straight forward, but it is nothing you would not expect out of a PG rated movie.
2. Actors - The veterans are well within their comfort zones. Sean Bean, though a good actor in his own right, is in the wrong role. I see him more as Poseidon than Zeus. The youngsters are fairly wooden and 2D in their craft. Believable but sorely lacking in emotions.
3. CGI - Okay, after Jurassic Park so many years ago, CGI has become so fundamental, it no longer holds much ground in 99% of all Hollywood movies. Nothing fantastic at all. That is my humble opinion.
4. Actions/Fight Scenes - So much potential wasted from start to end. To say it meets basic action fight scene requirement for a movie in this genre would be somewhat of an insult to its peers.
5. Overall Experience - The first half an hour felt as though we are going to get to know the characters well, but that ended abruptly. At this point the movie switch to an action mode but not long after it got toned down again. the pace can only be described as taking a joyride up a series of rolling hills.
