Some reviews from Rotten Tomatoes:
-Action-packed entertainment builds around efforts, not to prevent the destruction of the planet, but to plan for the continuation of the human race.
-I can't claim to have seen every terrible film in cinematic history, but in my fairly extensive watchography, 2012 is certainly in the top 5 worst ever.

Some reviews from Rotten Tomatoes:
-A tale of heroes, bonded together by friendship, it's the very special friendship between hobbits Elijah Wood's Frodo and Sean Astin's Sam that touches us most of all.
-Jackson finishes the epic with a flourish that leaves all other big screen fantasies thoroughly humbled.

Synopsis: A young boy discovers he's the descendant of a Greek god and sets out on an adventure to settle an on-going battle between the gods. Based on the book by Rick Riordan.
Some reviews from Rotten Tomatoes:
-A fun, effects-filled, escapist adventure, with several clever notions: Medusa sells garden statuary as a cover, and the Parthenon in Nashville is home to a hydra.
-It looks like the characters of color in Percy Jackson have been paired off, a remarkable choice in a movie that is, in essence, about the glories of half-breeds.

Well done Sasha. A good start, my only question is about which sub-genre you have chosen as your films seem to be from different ones? Think about which sub-genre appeals most and then review the choices of films you have made.
