Reviews
ChikPapa Very disappointed :(
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

You will probably enjoy this teen by the numbers spy spoof too. (5/10)
darkness-07 I was a huge fan of Alex Rider from the moment I picked up Stormbreaker. However, this film... this is nothing at all like the books that people love.The good things: I can't think of anyone better to play Alan Blunt than Bill Nighy. Mickey Rourke and Andy Serkis... All brilliant castings Stephen Fry played the role well, with added humour, but Smithers in the book was always described as extremely fat. Just another thing that the film changed from the books. Different gadgets, changed storyline to include Sabrina (we don't meet her until the fourth book if I remember correctly) to be a "damsel in distress" character When the film came out I remember I was one of the first to watch it at the cinema, which was completely packed, and I was not the only one that was extremely disappointed with it. They have ruined a brilliant book series for me. I will carry on reading the books over and over again, but much like Twilight: brilliant books, terrible films. I had thought that this would be the next Harry Potter at the time, but oh boy how I was wrong
Cecilie Jensen Stormbreaker is about a boy, named Alex. He thinks he is a regular schoolboy until his uncle gets killed. He thinks that it is a little strange at the funeral. So he is following after some men's and finds out that his uncle was a spy, on a mission that he got killed. Alex is the new man for the mission. Mr.Blunt is sending Alex to the place where his uncle was. Darrius Sayle is the creator of the Stormbreaker, it is a game. Alex should try it. Darrius plans to give every school in the country a Stormbreaker. But Darrius have other ideas and Alex must find out what it is. I think Stormbreaker is a movie where there is happening things every minute. But it can be a little boring too. I got a little consume in it, maybe because Alex is pretty hot. It is a good movie whit a good story.8 star because it is a good movie, but sometimes it got a little bit boring.
Leofwine_draca If watching a cast of actors mugging their way through a vapid and disinterested kid-friendly adventure film sounds like your cup of tea, then you might just enjoy STORMBREAKER. Those viewers with a decent amount of taste, however, will surely find it as difficult to sit through as I did: it's one of those lowest-common-denominator movies, an utterly puerile and crass attempt at money spinning.Alex Pettyfer, a good-looking but ultimately bland young actor, stars as an ordinary schoolboy whose uncle (hammy Ewan McGregor) just happens to be a secret super-spy. From the opening action scene, which screams overkill, I knew the action in this film was going to be appalling: a mess of disjointed editing and seen-it-all-before stunts as Pettyfer trains to take over his uncle's job. Perhaps realising the crappy action choreography they were saddled with, the producers called in Donnie Yen to spice up a couple of martial arts bouts, but even these aren't enough to enliven the film.Realism disappears on the horizon at the film's outset and from then on in it's content to recycle old Bond ideas while ripping off Harry Potter here and there (check out the phone booth scene which is directly copied from the entrance to the Ministry of Magic in that film series) In terms of the cast, STORMBREAKER has a tendency to show off the worst of the actors it employs and only Sophie Okonedo and Damian Lewis walk away with any kind of credibility. Andy Serkis is a walking caricature, Stephen Fry uncomfortable as a Q shoe-in, while Mickey Rourke is plasticky and uncomfortable as the nonthreatening villain. Alicia Silverstone has long since vanished from our screens, and you'll see why when you witness her wooden acting here. Bill Nighy turns out to be hammy and one-note, although the worst actor by far to appear is Missi Pyle, whose excruciating Russian accent is the most irritating thing I can ever remember seeing in a movie. Let's hope there's no sequel!
