Load of rubbish!!
Just perfect...
There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
A tepid spy movie that deviates from the gritty excitement of the books that inspired it and instead offers boring action scenes, cardboard acting and campy silliness that outstayed it's welcome in the 90's. Every scene that was potentially interesting was butchered. From the dumb cowboy rope tricks in the junkyard, the boring bike chase, the boring horse chase, the fight scene played along with TV cartoons, Bill Nighy's TERRIBLE turn as Alan Blunt (with the masterful line "He's about as charming..... AS A SNAKE!, did you add that one in Anthony Horowitz? it wasn't in your book?) and criminally wasted cameos from Jimmy Carr and Stephen Fry.I was in love with the Alex Rider books as a kid. My heart broke upon watching this movie. It's bad in every way a movie can be bad. I was glad it was a box office dud so they couldn't follow up with 9 more wastes of time and money. Which is a shame because I wanted some entertaining spy action thrillers watch over and over again like i did with Bond. Instead we got 1 horrible misfire you couldn't pay me enough to watch again.Man was this movie awful. Alex Pettyfer is the wrong choice as Alex, not only is his eye and hair colour wrong, he is so indifferent playing a schoolboy who becomes a spy you'd think that he had fallen asleep throughout the movie then woken up right before the credits saying "I was in a movie was I?" compare that to the harrowing emotional journey of his book counterpart. Like comparing Shakespeare to 50 shades of Grey in terms of quality. Adding in Sabina Pleasure for seemingly no reason other than having a pretty girl to join in on the "fun" was one of the dumbest and nonsensical choices. Mickey Rourke is well... Mickey Rourke, rather than an actual character. That Mr. grin guy looked about as menacing as an old cab driver with a cold. And Damian Lewis hanging upside down off a helicopter every time he shoots someone? bugger off. They should have given this movies $40 million budget to the red cross or something. Game over Alex. At least the audio books are still fun to listen to.
My review of Stormbreaker.Personally i have nothing against the movie, it was not a movie that i would recommend among my favorite movies of all time. But still i would definitely mean that it was good entertaining. Personally I don't like spy kids-alike movies, because i like movies that are quite more realistic. So all in all, i think the movie was fine but not extremely good. Geek review: There was some effects that were good work. I saw lots of small details in the movie that ordinary movies often doesn't have. The reason why it is good work is because that you don't just making a fast effect like some fire, explosion or muzzle-flares, in Adobe After Effects, like most does, you can see that they thought about the movies, and that's what make a movie "professional made". But also there was some details that they missed that some of the newbie AE users thought more about, like: light from muzzle-flare, smoke, blood all that stuff. - But of course. its still a childish "I want to be spy" movie. – And its from 2006.Imo the movie in itself deserves a 6 out of 10 stars because of the plot, it doesn't get more because everything happened too fast. I would definitely recommend it for some younger children. But I give the review from my side, so its my opinion that counts.
I've been a fan of the Alex Rider books since they were first out in 2000. So naturally when I heard they were making a film I was ecstatic. Having avidly followed the filming updates I was so full of hope for the film ( having an amazing number of big actors and the screenplay being written by the original author). On the 21st July 2006(I was 15 at the time) I was at the very first showing of the film. Waiting with baited breath. After coming out I had very mixed feelings. I thought it was amazing, being able to see my favourite book series visualised on the big screen! I was a little disappointed with some of the changes but overall I still loved the film. 5 years later(at 19) watching the film I despair. Watching it I cringe at how childish it seems. I'm saddened watching it at how different the film is to the original books, changes that make no sense. I'm so disappointed. I long for a remake of the film in it's original form and true to the book.
First let me say I need a lower rating for this film made available. Gouge my eyes out Awful! I have a couple of questions for the creators of this monstrosity. This is not directed at England in general, just the writers of this movie. Everyone knows England is the center of the universe already.Why waste money on developing a computer with a virus that kills people? why not just kill people?.. or maybe brainwash people. you know, something to validate the development of a new computer system. why was the kid afraid of the computer dinosaur? what kind of accents did the blonde chick and the red headed dude have? do the British always portray the French, Germans, Russians, Americans and people from everywhere other than england as the villains? Do they think everyone living outside of England think England is the center of the universe? why did random people not get sucked into the photo booth? Is there a guy there monitoring everyone who walks into the booth? Why would they want to stereotype themselves as ignorant white people and speak Japanese and mocking Japanese culture while eating sushi? why is there a jelly fish that does not exist in real life in the bad guy American's house? why put a smoke bomb in a Nintendo ds when you can just give the kid a real smoke bomb? it takes more time to find the cartridge and put it in the ds, start the ds and load the program than to just through a smoke bomb. why did the kid have to ride a horse when the car made it across the field in about the same time? Why would a millionaire American kid move to England with "the greatest school system in the world," and get made fun of for living in a trailer and smelling bad? Why would the producers of this film think anyone but Englanders would relate to this? how did they convince all those famous actors that this would be a good film to be in? why is the fail safe button for releasing the virus so hard for the bad guy American to get to? Answer me these questions and maybe I wont kill myself thinking of this movie.After watching this movie I feel the urge to develop a lethal virus that kills all the people who made this film. do not watch this movie unless you hate yourself or you are a 10 year Englander. Really never ever ever watch this film. Ever. Even if you are just curious.(note to self: submit the restrained review of this film, not the one that says really horrible things about this film)
