PERCY JACKSON AND THE LIGHTNING THIEF: On General Release From 12th February 2010

It looks like Hollywood’s gone all historical on us in 2010.

Percy Jackson And The Lightning Thief seems set to be the warm-up for an epic season which includes Clash Of The Titans, Prince Of Persia and let’s not forget about Robin Hood.

Looks like the award for sexiest skirt-wearing actor could be a tough category this year.

But can Percy Jackson set the tone for the others? The answer is sort of. The main difference between Percy and it’s contenders is that it is set in the present US and the leads are all teenagers. Yeah, I know, it doesn’t sound like a winning formula but director Chris Columbus makes it work. Do It!
