I Accidentally Vaporize My Pre-Algebra Teacher

As a fairly new fan of the books (finished reading the first 5 a few months ago), I have to say that this is a really good start to the show!

The first thing I'd like to compliment is the.casting, it's amazing! I think Walker Scobell is the perfect casting choice for Percy. From these first 2 episodes, he's done an amazing job. The rest of the cast is amazing as well. I also thought the Minotaur looked so cool, the CGI was great!

The only reason this isn't a 10/10 is because I just have some problems. Wished we spent more time at Yancy Academy and wished we got to see how abusive Gabe really is to Sally. Then again, I really did like seeing Sally talk back to Gabe so easily compared to the books. Other than that 9/10!

I am only reviewing the first two episodes and they are close to the books in story but I just don't care I loved the books and quite like the movies but the series so far is just not doing it for me it's choppely edited and average acting Percy isnt particularly likeable and his squeaky voice is grating, Annabeth is just mean and comes across as a spoilt brat and the rest of the capm are just full blown mental I remember there is some animosity in the books with other campers but not like this. I could go on and on about what I don't like but I will say one good thing is the graphics it's clear no expense has been spared shame its wasted on a average (so far) series. Think I will give it an episode more to see if it improves but I was excited to see this and my hopes have been dashed, let's hope it can turn around.

It was no surprise that the series would be done with more respect than the previous productions. The trailers, announcements and news confirmed even more how much passion was put into this project.

The first episode was a decent start, full of energy, life, with great acting, amazing cinematography and soundtrack.

The actors are mostly great. Walker Scobell nails Percy Jackson's charm. The chemistry between Percy, Grover, and Sally was the highlight of the episode are surely other interactions will be up to the same level.

The episode structure gives the feeling of tearing the pages out of the book and bringing them to the screen, from the pace to the episode titles.

Speaking of pacing, you will hardly be bored, the feeling of a new adventure and magic is present at all times, eliminating "boring and long explanation" moments. Despite making the episode dynamic, it affects the development of the characters and the time for ideas introduced to mature, becoming very fast, resulting in apathy and confusion (even having read the books, I try to watch the series as someone who is being introduced to the story for the first time).

I know that people been saying this since the first book came out but, the first episode gave me the same vibe as Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, with similar scenes such as the Minotaur's fight and the Troll's fight in the bathroom or the call to adventure in a distant cabin in the middle of the storm. It's not a negative point, just an observation.

Perhaps something that many will not agree with, but the film managed to better balance the beginning of the story with the new information that needed to be introduced, making the pace more concentrated and linear.

Overall, decent start for a series that will be a great deal in a few years.

Wow, i must say I didn't expect this. I really enjoyed the first episode. The story beats are largely the same as they are in the book, and it's better for it. It is extremely fast paced, so take that how you will.

The magic that I felt while reading the books has returned in a sort of way. Of course this is only the first episode, but I am still satisfied.

Percy's actor fits well, Grover fits well, and the story gets off to a familiar start. I hope the rest of the season follows suit and doesn't deviate from the books like the movies did. It really can't get much worse than those adaptations so I'm glad this doesn't seem to be going that way.

Can't wait to see more!

The cgi is brilliant but there's only so long you can go ignoring the terrible acting. When I saw who the lead actor was for the new adaption, I was slightly excited since his acting skills were good from previous movies such as the Adam Project. But I have to say, the acting seems slow and sub par. The storyline a little haste as if they were rushing viewers to get to the main part which was the camp. Overall, not very excited to continue but will due to liking the previous Percy Jackson movie and curious to see how the cgi for other creatures looks like.

I did like the relationship between the mum and Percy but I think they could have delved more into the high school part of Percy Jackson or at least not added too much and delved into slowly.
