Review By :Kate Oliver

Just to be clear – I am a Navy Veteran. My husband is active duty Marine. So, watching this movie, was intense for me. Intense in a good way. Though I walked out of 13 hours angry and disappointed. Not at the film. Just at the actions of our government.
Okay – enough political stuff.

Michael Bay may have redeemed himself in my book. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the Transformers movies, but this one. THIS ONE. This one did it for me. I think solid actors were chosen for this movie. I am SURPRISED with John Krasinski. He was good for this movie. I am used to see him on The Office and in more comedic roles. I really liked him in this one. I was glad to see James Badge Dale on the screen again. He tugs at me a little bit. Pablo Schreiber was PERFECT as Tanto. I think he is just overall a snarky individual. I LOVE IT! If you remember him from OINTB (George “Pornstache” Mendez), he was awesome there as well. Those three stood out the most to me. It was good to see David Giuntoli on the big screen (Nick Burkhardt-Grimm).

I don’t recommend this film if you have PTSD (meaning you were in the middle east, boots on the ground being shot at or bombed at). I do think, that if you recall all the political stuff that is running around in the news, you should watch it. You should see what prior military, special forces do. You should understand that, protection is what they know. Securing a facility is second nature. The film is basically to make you aware of what went on, how shit hit the fan (pardon my expletive) and who really did something about it. There are heroes out there, but to them, they were just doing their job.

If you want to watch a comedy, go watch Ride Along 2. If you want substance, Watch this. Take it all in. However, do not take your children with you to see this.

Published

on

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
