Second Trailer for ‘Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters’ Tries Hard to Make us Care

The ‘Percy Jackson’ films series was one spawned by the mega-success enjoyed by Warner Bros. with the ‘Harry Potter’ franchise but, a couple of years after Harry and his friends bowed out, it’s still kicking around. Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters should be admired for trying to appeal to an audience too old for ‘Smurfs’ but too young for ‘Hunger Games’, but it’s hard to imagine anyone else handing over their cash for a movie that, despite the best efforts of this new trailer, comes across as a little old-fashioned.

Directed by Thor Freudenthal and starring Logan Lerman, Nathan Fillion, Alexandra Daddario, Sean Bean, Stanley Tucci, Jake Abel and Anthony Head, the film hits theaters on August 7th and you can watch the trailer below.
