synopsis/overview: Camp Half-Blood and its demigods are threatened when its protective barrier becomes compromised. Although Percy ( Logan Lerman ) is feeling less than heroic of late, it is up to him once again to save his kind and the rest of the world from an evil force hell-bent on revenge by going on a quest to find the Golden Fleece somewhere in the Sea of Monsters, a.k.a. Bermuda Triangle.

audience reaction: The audience liked it. And some people in the audience gave it a "Hands Clapper" ending.
recommendation: I liked it enough. It's a must-see for the Percy Jackson book series out there.
spoiler alert: Why were there no sentries posted to guard the entrance? I fail to see how a mechanical bull would smell like a real bull! What, there was no demigod at all in that camp which could foresee danger? ( That's bull! Pun intended. ) You know, a piece of hard metal can easily f*ck-up mechanical gears. The pair of sunglasses that the young Cyclops half-blood, Tyson ( Douglas Smith ), wore would only serve to impair his vision because the bridge ( a thick one at that, in this case ) would be directly in his line of sight! Duh .... He might be fire-proofed; but I don't think his clothes and eyeglasses were. So, shouldn't he have been butt-naked by then? When the yacht was tossed about by the waves, a port hole in the brig popped open but no water rushed in! Are you telling me that all that time she was semi-buried under that tree, her clothes somehow grew along with her? If I were the director, she'd be wakened-up butt-naked!
fyi: Is Brandon T. Jackson's Satyr character's name, Grover Underwood, in reference to this product name?

word of advice: Looks can be deceiving.
tidbits: I actually saw this movie, in 2-D, first on Wednesday at 4:20 p.m., at this theatre, but I fell asleep through-out most of it---I ate a big meal at Selecta Pilipino Buffet before then! So, I had to see it again to finish my notes--and to blog about it.
