In 2016, Rick Riordan wrote an open letter to teachers asking them not to play either of the Percy Jackson films for their students while teaching them about Greek Mythology. While Sea of Monsters wasn’t a smashing success, it’s still a very fun film. Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters was directed by Thor Freudenthal, whose credits include the Diary of a Wimpy kid, which was another popular book series when Riordan’s books were coming out. The Lightning Thief was directed by Chris Columbus, who also directed several of the Harry Potter films. Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief and Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters were made by two different directors, which could also explain their mixed review results. Author Rick Riordan has mentioned several times that he had no involvement in either of the films, and he refuses to watch them himself. When the Lightning Thief hit the box office, it was a huge success, while The Sea of Monsters, after a three-year wait, was met with mixed reviews.
