The characters know every upcoming trap before they even arrive, and so dodge every single one. It's like playing a video game for the first time, but someone is standing right behind you and keeps telling you, "Wait! There's a trap right there; make sure to walk around it." It ruins the whole experience.
Also, the fights only last 5 seconds, and Percy doesn't even struggle a bit; not in his first fight against Mrs. Dodds and neither in the fight against the literal God Ares. Where's the tension in that?
Yes, the movies weren't really an adaptation of the books, but at least they had actual action and some degree of tension in them.
The first season could well have used more and longer episodes!
