Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Prophecy Comes True (2024)
Oh my gods, it was amazing
This was the DEFINETELY the best finale to such an iconic series. From the starting to the ending, the flashbacks, the sword fighting with Luke, and his whole reveal, had be star stuck in my seat. The first line of the episode- "look YOU didn't want to be a half-blood?" It hit me so hard!
Seeing Percy's reaction with his father, and how natural and deep and heartbreaking it was, was media perfection. Both the actors aced it. Mount Olympus looked STUNNING, and Zeus portrayed so well too-I'm really sad Lance Reddick won't be starring in any later shows.
But I must say one of the best parts of this episode, was the Ares fight. The cast had been advertising this heavily getting all our hopes up in each of the interviews, and after 7 weeks of waiting, it definitely didn't disappoint. The whole scene was breathtaking, and had us all cheering for Percy, especially when the wave hit Ares.
I also love every scene from Sally's reunion-which was so emotional, to Gabe turning into a statue, which was arguably the best ending ever;) but the part that got me the most emotional was that last hug with Annabeth Percy and Grover, and seeing how much Leah, Walker and Aryan have grown this season-and although there acting has been incredible from the start, they seem so close and happy-both the actors and their characters...it just warmed my heart.
Near the end of the episode, Percy swore to them, that they would all meet up in the same spot, at the same time next year-and that's so true. We ARE going to see them this time, next year, in the Sea of Monsters, back together and better than ever. Now let's just start the countdown to that premiere...
Thank you so much everyone on the Percy Jackson set, for giving the fans a chance to see this wonderful world brought to life-it was a dream come true:)🤗
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: We Take a Zebra to Vegas (2024)
BEST.EPISODE.YET!!!!
As soon as I saw it, I fell in love with this episode. It was the perfect blend of humour, deeper themes and rising tension in the main plot.
Even though Hermes wasn't in the first book, god I loved his character. It was perfect for this storyline, because we get to see why Luke hates his dad so much, and how the Olympians are really distant parents, but also Hermes side of things and how he loves look, but feels powerless to stop him from struggling.
That whole conversation between Percy, Annabeth and Hermes had SUCH good dialogue.
Grover also played the part that brought rising tension. Him forgetting everything shone that menacing light on the whole episode, which had me holding my breath for what came next.
But the funny parts were def my favourite-from Annabeth and Percy trying to get Grover back on track, to Percy driving the Taxi-I COULD NOT STOP LAUGHING.
I've already watched this episode 3 times and I'm probably gonna watch it a 4th. How have they done such a good job?! 🤗
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: We Find Out the Truth, Sort Of (2024)
Almost at the end now😢
I have to start by putting it out there-the flashbacks in this episode were sooooo good!!! And little Percy is just so adorable and accurate! They've tied these flashbacks so well into the main story flow, and it adds a little colour and depth to Percy's background and his hard life-which doesn't happen in the books but I find as excellent additions.
I really loved the scene where Grover's getting pulled into Tartarus-it felt really lifelike and well thought out. Percy finding the bolt in his bag was an unexpected plot twist, but it also tied in with the story really well, and made sense in the scene where he's negotiating with Hades.
And last but DEFINETELY not least the Poseidon, Sally conversation at the end of the episode<3 oh my gosh it was so insane. It added the kind of heartbreak that Sally went through while Percy was growing up, which really showed how strong and how much of a total queen she is. And we get a glimpse into the fact that Poseidons always watched over Percy and has always wanted to be there for him. And the episode ending with "When he's ready?" Chillllllsss
This episode was stunning;)))))))))))) Can't wait for the last one, even though I'm gonna be devestated once it's done.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: A God Buys Us Cheeseburgers (2024)
<3 Seaweed Brain <3
THAT MOMENT WHEN ANNABETH SAID IT?! I LITERALLY STARTED RUNNING AROUND SCREAMING IN MY BEDROOM. 😁
In all seriousness though, I loved this episode so much-just because there was so much character development, especially with Annabeth. We got to see past her, cool, collected, indifferent shell, and see how much she cared about her friends.
AHeM- percabethhhhhhhhhh! We got so much Annabeth+Percy time this episode, which I really liked because it showed them slowly getting closer, and forming true friendship. I did notice how Grover wasn't in the whole Waterland scene, which deviated from the book, but it worked well, because we got some Grover character development too, showing that he's more then a peace keeper/anxious but goofy friend-he's actually really smart.
And over the past 5 episodes, I've noticed, that every.single.charecter in this show shines. Like even the side characters (Ares, Medusa, Sally, Luke) add so much life and passion when the act out that person, that it gives the show soooo much more depth.
5 episodes in and it just keeps getting better. Can't wait for the next one!! :)
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: I Plunge to My Death (2024)
How does it just keep getting better every week?!
This episode hit different for soooo many reasons. Definitely the best one so far-it blew my mind to bits.
Sitting and seeing so many iconic elements come to life from the book, was almost surreal-but if I had to pick the parts that stunned me the most in this episode, it would probably be as followed.
-Echidna: I didn't think it would be possible for one of the monsters in the storyline to be cooler and scarier and more realistic then Medusa was in the previous episode, but Suzzane Cryer just smashed through all of my expectations. She was so sweetly dangerous-it gave me goosebumps. I'm heartbroken that we won't be able to see more of her acting in later episodes.
-Percy getting poisoned: I swear that whole situation had me sitting on the edge of my seat. Especially with how pale he got-it just made the effects of the poison so much noticeable and cinematic. And walker scobell played out being weak and in pain so well!
But apart from just the acting, I really think this was a key part in the story, because for the first time, we get to see the side of Percy, who is more than willing to sacrifice his life to save his friends. And the drama of that scene where he locks himself with Echidna and the Chimera...my heart was POUNDING.
Special mention of the incredible effects of this episode-ESPECIALLY the Chimera...like it looked so realistic!!!!!
And the falling from the arch scene-so dramatic. I loved it so much.
Please keep it up guys!!! U give me something to look forward to every week😆
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: We Visit the Garden Gnome Emporium (2023)
7 Whole days😅 but worth the wait
Right from the start I was hooked: the way the scene depicted the attic so perfectly, with the oracle and dark lighting and creepy objects and the green smoke...gives me chills!!!!!!
They also gave the right prophecy this time *cough cough*
I love the scene where Percy instantly chose Annabeth for his quest<3 and his whole logic behind that was actually really smart. And of course Grover haddd to be the third member ;) and his reaction was so adorable.
Special note in here about the flying shoes that Luke brought WHICH LOOKED FLIPPING AMAZING.
But the best part of this episode was definitely Medusa, and her whole back story which was different from the books, but still absolutely deep and amazing, it blew my mind. Her acting was soo good!!
I also love the whole Grover/Annabeth/percy banter going on and I love that Grover plays peacemaker especially with the concensus songgg🤣
And the last scene? WITH BEST WISHES PERCY JACKSON? Impeccable😁
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: I Become Supreme Lord of the Bathroom (2023)
Whoa
This episode was absolutely brilliant! Watching so many of my favourite characters being introduced into this has blown my mind, and since it would probably take me forever to describe just what I love about each of them, I'm gonna hit the highlights.
Luke...*cue the squealing* What else can I say?! I ABSOLUTELY ADORE HIM ALREADY!!! He's been perfectly developed as the cool older guy, who every admired and instantly likes because he's so popular and yet he still took the time to help and stay with Percy, developing the CUTEST older brother relationship. I feel like that going to be really useful in at the end of the series, because just like the book, his...let's just call it "big plot twist," will have much more of an effect on the watchers😁😁
Annabeth: I see what Rick Riordan meant about Leah Sava Jeffries being perfect for Annabeth. Straight from the start she's the scary smart, super dangerous girl. I did notice how Annabeth was much more mysterious in the show, but that works well too, because it makes her someone who everyone-especially Percy is always wondering about, and who everyone respects and fears a little. I also love that they added diversity to the show-at the end of the day the looks don't matter as long as the actor plays out our favourite charecter term properly-and Leah's acing it.
Clarrisse and Dionysus: I know this is getting a little bit long, but I cant end this review without mentioning Clarrisse's acting!! She's SO convincing-playing the bully and that scream in the second episode?! It was so rawwww! Huge respect-she's such a great actor. And of course we love Dionysus, with his ever so famous line PETER JOHNSON IS HERE🤣🤣🤣 exactly how I imagined in the books.
The setting for Camp half-blood was awesome, and again exactly like I imagined it with the satyrs and demigods. So far I'm loving this series and already counting down days until the next one:)))) thanks for bringing such a special book series for me, to life!
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: I Accidentally Vaporize My Pre-Algebra Teacher (2023)
ITS ACTUALLY COME TO LIFE!!✨
There are literally no words, trying to describe how it feels to see the book series your grew up with finally come to life. The effects are INCREDIBLE, and yes though it was a little bit short, I feel like that was okay because it left you wanting the second episode to come out more.
And the casting?! Aryan absolutely aced Grover's part. Right from the minute he was introduced, he was the adorably awkward friend that everyone instantly loved. Nancy was also great, playing was the horrible brat-I despised her from her very first line.
I also feel like Chiron was casted really, really well too, and I love the way he gave riptide to Percy, smooth enough so the people who haven't read the books over look it, but meaningful enough to realise what it was and be like "ohhhhhh that's what he meant."
As for Percy? The way he daydreamed, the uneasiness, the subtle humour that they snuck in, the fight with the Minotaur, his relationship with Sally?! ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. I loved that we got a look at young Percy, and his experiences and the "weird things he saw all the time," so early in the episode-something the movies missed completely🙄
I must say so far Percy has been portrayed perfectly. People keep coming down on his character, saying he didn't have enough wit and humour, but if you have a look at the book, in the part that was represented in this episode, the main parts of personality that got developed was the way he was a magnet for trouble, his insecurities, his protectiveness of Grover, his love for Sally and hate for Gabe.
Check, check, check, check, check.
Isn't that what everyone wanted? A accurate film adaptation? Sure his humour is what makes us all love Percy so much, but that's the thing with books-we get to read Percy's mental monologue. There just isn't that option with the movies, so as far as visual representations go, they really could not have smashed it more.
I can not tell you how excited I am for the rest of this series-especially when characters like Annabeth and Luke come into the picture.
Good job guys. Absolutely aced it:)))))))
Shehzada (2023)
Really good, why the bad reviews?
Found the movie really entertaining. Perfect mix of comedy and drama and it made me laugh. Awesome story line, great start that captivates interest, this movie has aced certain aspects. A worthwhile watch, great for family. I don't get why there are such bad reviews, because I found the movie something I would be happy to watch over and over again. If you have not watched the original, definitely give this movie a try; it is well directed, well balanced and undoubtedly hilarious.
I had really low expectations because of the previous reviews but it turned out to be a hidden gem. So, definitely worth giving a try, it may make your day.😊
