Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Pluskylang Great Film overall
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
xxtomahawkzzzxx My opinion on this movie is a giant mixed bag. One side of me thinks it got some humor I enjoyed, had a hidden charm to its joyfulness, and did some risks by making it much more cheerful than the book. The other side of me thinks its a giant disappointment, made changes that was for the worse, and didn't feel like what made the book so special. For example, Alex was a little emotionless (like Alan in the book) and Jack, while American, was some Japanese fanatic. The biggest flaw, however, was definitely the terrible choices that made the movie much worse than the book. The best example was the scene in the book where Alex was chased by guys in motorcycles, which was so memorable. That wasn't even IN THE MOVIE. Another great example was the scene where Nadia Vole pretended to help Alex, betraying him by making him walk into a trap (which was my favorite scene in the book). The trap was till there, but not the betrayal that highlighted the fish tank scene. In the end, I found it an OK movie at best. Still, it was very disappointing.
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.
Frank Shang Well, if you haven't read the actual book I believe this is of no interest to you.To those who have read the book I think the director is some sort of dummy who just flipped through the book and skipped the most important scenes. For example,the quad bike chase wasn't even mentioned in the flip'in film By the way, I think Anthony Horowitz is an excellent author and I do not think this by far his fault. They messed up the names too.Like it's Crawley-not Crawford,Felix Lester which they've somehow changed into Kevin Blake. And,for God's sake it's Herod Sayle not Darrius Sayle. Plus Sabina Pleasure ins't supposed to be in this film. Her first appearance is in Skeleton Key.If you have read the book do not,I repeat do not watch this blasted movie.
j-cherry-630-782328 OK i admit im not a huge fan of the alex rider series but i did admit that stormbreaker could make a good film. so when it came out i decided to check it out, i have consequently lost 1.5hours of my life THAT I CAN NEVER HAVE BACK!! there were so many plot holes it hurt i shall now attempt to list the most obvious. 1 why was the access to MI6 in a public photobooth? surely someone would have noticed the huge flashes of light and that certain people never left it..also Alex Rider is not a member of MI6 so does that mean other random members of the public can just waltz in? 2 Jack starbright's appalling fight with Missi pyle's character = what the hell? it is totally pointless and not even in the book. 3 the character of Alex is a travesty he practically gives his identity away in the first 5 seconds "my uncle was a security guard, he was killed and i'll find out who did it" well duh they just did it to his uncle! he might as well have said ..hi im Alex..my uncles replacement!and the whole bicycle chase scene had me crying with laughter.. 4 Smithers in a toy shop!?...er so the man who makes all the secret gadgets for MI6 works in a toy store..yer i can see that happening..NOT!! 5 what kind of martial arts security guard falls for such a stupid trick like the "bowing scene" im sorry but that really was bad 6 all of the characters were rushed,stereotypical and even the great actors like Mickey Rouke and Bill Nighy were restricted by the appalling director and were turned into cartoons. Alex was wooden,Missi was a joke, Jack was completely out of character and Sabina was not only badly portrayed by some hammy second rate actress but she Wasn't EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE THERE!!! honestly i don't know how antony horrowitz could have stood there and approve of the shambles made of a book,that although i think not that good, had such great potential. the entire film was rushed, according to Mr Horrowitz the reason for this was to get to the end scene...er what for? the hammy horse scene? the lame death of Sayle? the bad parachute scene? the pigeon getting shot? what? what? what was there at the end that we all missed!!?? the end credits maybe? (best part of the film) a waste of characters,waste of good acting potential,waste of money and a waste of time save yourself from this utter waste of space and do not watch!!!!
