- Excerpt: After Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief bombed…, I figured we were through with the tales of the demi-god Percy Jackson, the bastard child of Poseidon and a mortal. Little did I count on Hollywood’s total dearth of ideas, for now we have Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters (I guess the budget couldn’t afford them ‘The Olympians’ to attach to the title).

- Excerpt: It offers the diversion of an average 21st century family-friendly adventure, but never engages or excites to the extent intended.
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: [E]liminates everything that was intriguing from the first movie … and offers a quest that feels cobbled together from other, better material.
- Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
- Excerpt: Without urgency or peril, it’s flimsy, fantastical fun aimed at pre-teens familiar with Greek mythology.

- Excerpt: Spectacularly mediocre fantasy junk food, perfectly inoffensive for youngsters but too featherweight for adult genre fans.

- Excerpt: As much as I love the Percy Jackson books, and how impressed I was with the first film and my mostly-entertained feelings towards this second film, the best way to prevent it from reaching a wider audience is to put children’s directors and minor television writers in charge.

- Excerpt: One does not need to reference the antics of ‘Sea Monsters’ predecessor in 2010’s ‘The Lightening Thief’ to appreciate the hackneyed happenings in wannabe Percy Jackson’s carbon copy universe of a whimsical whiz kid out to win over the magical mentalities of global Potter-starved diehards.
