I could write a review of Percy Jackson and the Really Long Fucking Title, but I’m watching the Oscars, and could just as easily link you to my review of Cirque du Freak and the Other Really Long Title instead. Replace “vampires” with “Greek gods” and it’s the same thing. Another film that could have been great had its unique spirit been taken advantage of, but ends up being a bad Harry Potter rip off.
Aw, you gave them the same rating. XD
