 A Most Enjoyable Film for the Whole Family. March 22, 2007
39 out of 39 found this review helpful
I cannot understand why film distributors gave this excellent family action film such poor exposure in cinemas worldwide. I saw 'Stormbreaker' in my local multiplex and immediately told two friends how much I had enjoyed it, returning with them to see it again the next day. We three septuagenarians (two of us retired high school teachers) agreed that it was the best action movie for young people in a very long time, and that it also had the rare quality of being thoroughly enjoyable to adults. We also greatly enjoyed the many aerial and ground level views of London, a city familiar to all three of us. Alex Pettyfer, whom we had previously seen in 'Tom Brown's Schooldays', acquits himself very well indeed, and the humorous overtones of the 'Batman' grotesques and the reactions of the cartoon characters on the background TV screens during violent action sequences will reassure those youngsters who might otherwise take them too seriously. I have enjoyed the Harry Potter films, but I consider this adaptation by the author of the original Alex Rider book series to be very much more suitable for family viewing. As the DVD had not then been released in Australia, I imported the UK version and lent it to a young friend who works with me in a heritage cinema staffed by volunteers. He loved it, paying it the compliment of making it the subject of his next school essay. 'Stormbreaker' stands head and shoulders above the American pap passing for humorous childrens' movies which crosses our screen during school holidays. Buy the DVD and watch it often with your children.
Best thing I've watched in a while September 7, 2006

I took my children to watch this, with no prior knowledge of the themes of the movie. I would best describe it as a "teenage James Bond" character with appeal for all ages, from about seven up. It is slicker than most of the other "teen hero" movies on offer, and appeals to adults more than a lot of the other films I've watched with the kids. And of course, with a proportion of British cast, and set in London and Cornwall, there is the added bonus of some familiar homegrown footage.
MI great! February 24, 2007

If you haven't read any of the Alex Rider books they are sort of like James Bond. The main difference is that Alex Rider is a teenager. Alex is a teenage spy who lives in Chelsea and part-time works for MI6. He is linked with this accocation because of his father who worked for them, i won't spoil the rest of the film for you!
The film is similar(ish) to James Bond in the sense that it is action packed and there is lots of fighting. Alex goes to investigate the computer 'the Stormbreaker'. The film has action all the way through and there is far less soppy moments than in James Bond films.
There are many twists just when you think the film is coming to a climax! The climax is very good, some of the footage is fantastic and it is great becuse it is a proper British film. You get to see some of the most famous parts of London, sometimes in some very entertaining situations!
A very enjoyable and action packed film. A very good adventure, well worth the hype! 9.5/10
deffinitely 5 stars November 9, 2006

I know it was going to be hard to top the book, to be honest I didnt really want it to, and luckily it hasnt. However that doesnt make it a bad film. No where near.
OK, not all of it fitted with the book. Some of the big chases were put with the wrong events, but it managed to retain the same dry humour of the books (which, no doubt, was hard). My one concern was that Bill Nighy got the wrong end of the thread with Blunt, thank goodness the strength of the origional storyline held it up. I had looked forward to this film for MONTHS and it didnt dissapoint.

I love this film so much!
Everybody compares it to James Bond, but it's not meant to be. It's meant for children.
Having seen it the day it came out, i managed to persuade all my friends to watch it, and they all loved it! I'm definatly getting the DVD the day it comes out.
