Tkbn3812 Stormbreaker is a 2006 film about a 15 year old, Alex Rider, who is recruited into the MI6 spy agency and assigned a mission to expose the plot of an evil mastermind billionaire.This British film, based off a novel, was a decent watch. The basic premise is of a teenage James Bond. The film can be applauded for a decent plot centering around the main character, although this plot is far from perfect as I will mention later on. But issues in the production of the film are quite clear. Fighting scenes were poorly choreographed, with the apparent use of quick camera pans completely overloading and confusing these scenes. The colour scheme seems ever so slightly saturated throughout the film, which seems strange seeing as though this is a fairly recent 2006 movie.The plot too wasn't perfect. The main character Alex is whisked from his normal life to spy training, and then his mission, all in a few weeks. It makes absolutely no sense that MI6 would choose to send a new teenage recruit on this risky mission in place of an experienced spy. This, alongside other glaring plot holes, make the film rather unbelievable.The plot is fairly predictable, and hardly has you on the edge of your seat. Clearly in writing the screenplay adaptation of the novel, key elements were skimmed over or overlooked, creating a strangely paced film plot.While the acting of Alex Rider is done very well by actor Alex Pettyfer, one notable misfire was in the character of Alan Blunt, playing the MI6 director. However, perhaps the error was not in the abilities of actor Bill Nighly, but rather in the poor characterisation of his character by the writers. This character comes off as harsh, insensitive, and interestingly enough blunt, after his name, potentially leading me to believe this character was intentionally written as such. Regardless, his character is definitely unpleasant. This film cannot qualify as a notable or impressive spy film, but it has the foundations of a good movie. While predictable, the plot definitely has potential, and had more time been spent on its development it would have vastly improved. Clearly more care needed to be taken in choreography of the fight scenes.However, the film isn't a horrible watch. There are definitely worse ways to spend one and a half hours.

SnoopyStyle Alex Rider (Alex Pettyfer) is a regular teenager with a regular uncle. However when his uncle is killed, he finds that his uncle was actually a British super spy. He reluctantly joins MI6 in the footstep of his uncle. Wealthy Darrius Sayle (Mickey Rourke) proposes to donate super computers called Stormbreaker to the schools, but MI6 suspects foul play.This is definitely some sort of James Bond jr. It just does it so badly. Alex Pettyfer is a pretty boy for the screaming girldom. However he is little more than that. And he joins so reluctantly that it grates. Alicia Silverstone is misused here as a nanny. It may be better if she was actually the mom. Mickey Rourke is playing the villain with glee. He's a cartoon, but considering the kiddie fare, it may be a good thing. All of it is rather too silly to watch.

pingvinqq 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.

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.
