    I tried to like this movie but it sucked so much. I was suprised by the cast of the movie which i was excited to watch, but all that talent misused and misplaced was just a shame. This kid is way too much of a fuckin snob to be a spy and his arrogance made him fuckin stupid to. T...( read more)his was bad even for a family flick.

    Nadia Vole: "You are ze first child to experience ze power... ze vorld domination, of ze Stormbreaker. Zis model has already been loaded vis highly developed programs for all aspects of ze school curricular."

    An outwardly ordinary orphaned teenager student Alex Rider who...( read more) lives with his uncle, a boring bank manager, or so it seems until his uncle, Ian Rider, disappears under mysterious circumstances. He finds himself suddenly thrust into extraordinary circumstances upon discovering that his entire youth was part of an elaborate plan to create the perfect super spy. Recruited by Mr. Blunt and Mrs. Jones, and armed with special gadgets, he embarks on his first mission. Billionaire Darrius Sayle is donating a free Stormbreaker mega-computer to every school in Britain. But is there more to his generosity than meets the eye? Going undercover, he infiltrates Sayle's compound. He meets the tycoon's sinister sidekicks, vixen publicist Nadia Vole and the disfigured mute Mr. Grin, and tests out the impressive and secretive Stormbreaker computer. While exploring a restricted area, Alex begins to figure out the mysterious Stormbreakers--he knows he's onto something big. Suddenly, Sayle and his evil henchmen capture Alex. Using his cunning and his MI6 gadgets, Alex manages to escape. He hitches a ride to London to stop Sayle from activating the Stormbreakers and releasing their secret weapon throughout Britain. But time is running out. With the help of his housekeeper Jack Starbright and his friend Sabina Pleasure, Alex takes Sayle head-on in a dangerous race against time to stop the evil plan. Within days he's gone from schoolboy to super spy, but will his first assignment be his last?

    I like action, don't get me wrong. I'm a die hard Die Hard fan, I dig Rambo and his killer mullet and I love Bond, James Bond. But sometimes the action genre only works to a certain extent well for example, if a 14 year old kid turns into a super spy and the fate of the whole world rests on his pre-pubescent stubby little hands, then I think we have a problem.

    This film is exactly just like that. And I may be alone in this one, maybe not but I think, 14 year old tweens belongs in the school, not in some high class evil lair butting heads with a has been punk rocker Mickey Rourke.

    It didn't work with Cody Banks and I'm sad to say it didn't work here either. The main problem of this film is that its trying so hard to be a high espionage actioner that it completely forgets that for an action film to work, the story must be on the same level as the action. This one however goes the other way around, it has so much action that the story was completely forgotten.

    However, everything is not all that bad. Save for a couple of cool action scenes and Bill Nighy. After that, its sad to say everything goes downhill.

    2/5

    Torture. I still don't know why I agreed to watch it, peer pressure maybe. Clicheed storyline, awful score, even more awful acting. Predictable, superficial. Every other adjective for "bad" u can think of. Give this money to Werner Herzog. Bye

    A great movie that followed the book really well. My only issue with it is that they changed the personality of some of the characters and made them comical when they are meant to be serious characters.

    I didn't like it. It would have been fine if I was 16 and female (sorry for the sexist comment).

    Really liked this action adventure about Alex Rider (think of a teenage James Bond). In fact the whole plot is similar to a Bond movie - megalomaniac who wants to kill millions by using computers to release a deadly virus and Rider with his gadgets supplied by a Q like character ...( read more)out to thwart the devious plan. There's a cameo by Ewan McGregor as Alex's uncle at the beginning plus a strong supporting cast of Bill Nighy, Mickey Rourke and Alicia Silverstone. Thoroughly enjoyable.

    Wow, a LOT of great actors!!! But somehow, bad acting... Missi Pyle's character was terribly unbelievable! The whole movie seemed to want to be a serious action flick but I felt like laughing for the most part... Also disappointed Ewan McGregor dies within the first 10min... Bad ...( read more)but entertaining and amusing (iif you chose to laugh at it ;)
