Moral Value:

Zeus Accused Percy as the lightening thief without any proof, finally percy could proved himself that he wasnot the lightening thief. It teaches us not to accuse someone without a complete proof.
The hard struggling of percy to prove he wasnot the thief teach us dont easily give up in doing everything although there are so many challenges.
Percy hated his father so much until he knew the reason why his father left him and his mom,it means that we cannot hate someone without knowing the true reason.
 

Comment on the movie :

It is a good movie to watch. It teaches us from many sides. The struggling of Percy to prove himself that he wasnot the lightening thief make this movie be the good movie who teach us not to accept an accuse for something that we never do.
