Slightly less dumb than the first instalment. Still dumb enough to rank among the trashiest fantasy blockbusters of today. I don’t know where the creators find enough confidence to shoot one sequel after another, pouring money down the drain. I think that these young adult fantasy stories don’t stand a chance unless they are as brutal as for example Hunger Games. To create a fantasy world that is not stupid is not as easy as it looks.

The first Percy Jackson was a kind of a light-hearted American family fantasy flick that I liked and I was quite impressed with. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the second, as I found it too commercial and focused on a lot of wannabe funny scenes and moments that didn't entertain me as much as they probably originally intended. The rehashing of Greek myths, which was touched upon by a number of users here, also bothered me quite a bit in the end. In short, a film that will probably entertain younger audiences and undemanding fantasy fans the most.

A film that promises a whole sea of monsters in its title but ultimately gives you just a few, because more aren't needed. It’s good enough. The viewer will feel like they're getting an absolutely great spectacle, even though it's just a mishmash of several myths put together into a truly awful mix. The effort to make jokes is nice, but there are relatively few of them. Young people might like this; they probably won’t mind the distortion of the myths too much.
