I have read the book however, I'll be writing this review as if it was purely a film only.
The film had it all it was an enjoyable fast paced action film that definitely can keep the younger viewers in there seats without them becoming to restless. It even pleased some of the older viewers so its a well balanced film suitable for all ages. It's one of the more light hearted but exciting action films that will keep viewers engaged from beginning to end.
In terms of acting the lead trio to a wonderful job and the supporting cast were strong as well.
One downside I would like to comment on is that for a relatively large budget film technically its not great. There were noticeable lack of continuity from the make-up department. i.e. Percy's hair is neat, next scene its scruffy, next scene its neat again. In addition, the choreography of the sword fighting scenes were disjointed thus not allowing the fighting to feel natural. I don't want to go into too much detail as to not accidentally reveal any spoilers. There are a few more technical issues I had with it but it doesn't really matter.
Overall it is a wonderful film that I would recommend everyone to watch.
