With a charming central trio, an intriguing quest and plenty of magical moments, this faithful reboot is a fun (if familiar) family-friendly fantasy.
-
It does sometimes lack the depth and complexity of the novels, it’s true, and Greek mythology nerds might hanker for a bit more intricacy. But it captures the magic, which is the essential.
-
This show will be fighting to survive in challenging terrain. But in the two episodes provided for review, at least, we’re off to an encouraging start.
-
I hope there’s more room for the characters to grow once the explanations end and the quest really begins. Unlike Medusa, Percy Jackson and the Olympians won’t turn you to stone, but nor does it quite soar like Daedalus.
-
Through the first four episodes, Percy Jackson and the Olympians works because of its good-natured spirit of wonder, its blandly acceptable core cast and several seasoned veterans delighting in taking part in this often goofy world.
-
"Percy" doesn't have quite enough substance and panache. Confusing, with jagged pacing and an over-reliance on novice young actors, "Percy" just doesn't quite click. It strides for epic but ends up far more ho hum.
-
This show may yet win an audience, but feels like a somewhat dull echo of the film that preceded it by a decade.
