When his lightning bolt is stolen, Zeus (Sean Bean) accuses Poseidon's son Percy Jackson (Logan Lerman) and gives ten days to Poseidon (Kevin McKidd) to return his lightning bolt; otherwise he would initiate a war against his brother. Meanwhile the dyslexic and with ADHD teenager Percy is visiting The Museum of Metropolitan of Art and is attacked by a Fury disguised in his teacher. His crippled best friend Grover (Brandon T. Jackson) reveals that Percy is a demigod and he is his protector and his teacher Mr. Brunner (Pierce Brosnan) gives a pen to him telling that it is a powerful weapon. They go to Percy's house and together with his mother Sally (Catherine Keener), they drive to the Camp Half-Blood. However Sally is attacked by a Minotaur and vanishes before Percy can help her. In the camp, Percy befriends the gorgeous Annabeth (Alexandra Daddario); when they are attacked by Hades (Steve Coogan) that wants the lighting bolt for him, Percy discovers that his mother is in hell with Hades. Percy decides to travel in a dangerous quest to retrieve the lightning bolt and save his mother. However, Grover and Annabeth join him and Luke (Jake Abel) gives a powerful shield of his own to protect Percy.
"Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief" is a delightful adventure for fans like me of naive fantasy and family entertainment genres. The film has a great cast and excellent special effects, with monsters from the Greek mythology. There are many funny moments and a big joke with the access to the Mount Olympus through the Empire State Building. The gorgeous twenty-four year old Alexandra Daddario is too old and mature to make a romantic pair with Logan Lerman, but she has good performance in their journey. Uma Thurman is excellent in the role of Medusa. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Percy Jackson e o Ladrão de Raios" ("Percy Jackson and the Thief of Lightning Bolts")
