Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters

Movie Mom
Percy Jackson finally has another quest to find the mythical Golden Fleece that will save a fellow demi-god and possibly the world.
  
Life Without ClearPlay!
 
This film has 9 mild obscenities (plus some slang terms) and 4 religious exclamations. Some of the action is intense with a few deaths that may be traumatizing for younger audiences.

The monsters could be a bit scary but not nightmarish. I think this movie is suitable for the tougher 7 year olds and older but ClearPlay will do wonders just by cleaning up the language.
