10 Awful Films Buffy The Vampire Slayer Actors Want Us To Forget

10. Percy Jackson: Sea Of Monsters (2013) - Nathan Fillon

Not so much a disaster as a wet flop, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters features a double-barrel Buffy cast reunion, in the forms of Nathan Fillion (season seven's preacher from hell, Caleb) and Anthony Stewart Head (ex-hellraiser, stuffy librarian and Scooby patriarch, Rupert Giles).

Sea of Monsters, or to give it its full gust of wind, Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Sea of Monsters, is the second and final instalment of the Percy Jackson film franchise - another attempted book-to-film money grab built in the image of Harry Potter and Twilight. It follows Logan Lerman's titular hero, a young demigod, as he searches for the Golden Fleece. Along his way, he meets many colourful, mythical characters, amongst whom are the centaur Chiron (Head) and the messenger Hermes (Fillion).

Both give solid performances, but neither can save the film from being just another forgettable, mid-budget, big studio, CGI nonsense-fest. Perhaps they should have realised what was on the horizon when their characters' original actors, Pierce Brosnan and Dylan Neal, jumped ship after the first film.
