Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker Reviews
Director Geoffrey Sax, fresh from the intriguing work, White Noise, seems to stay in step with Horowitz' vision, although there are several scenes that seemed over-done in the ham department.

Teen spy hero makes leap from book to screen.

What doesn't quite work are the more overtly jokey bits.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 12, 2009
A moderately enjoyable affair which only drags in the middle.

Jamais parece reconhecer a pouca idade de seu herói, que age como adulto (e como espião experiente) na maior parte do tempo, o que, além de tornar tudo implausível, ainda resulta num filme aborrecidamente convencional.

An instantly forgettable confection that'll bore more kids than it entertains.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 21, 2006
This mishmash retread fails to find its own identity on any level and should head straight to cable 온라인카지노추천 where it belongs.

An entertaining popcorn movie featuring a veritable who's who of game British actors (and a trio of equally game American performers) who keep the proceedings lively even with a too-predictable plot.

It's not much of a plot and 온라인카지노추천 veteran director Geoffrey Sax struggles with the big-screen demands of action scenes.
| Original Score: C+ | Oct 21, 2006
Stormbreaker jarringly shifts back-and-forth from real-world believability to Bond-esque suspense-of-disbelief to Boris-and-Natasha goofiness.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 17, 2006
I forgot most of it about 20 seconds after it was over.

Even more damaging is the inescapable fact that as the allegedly dashing and charming Alex, Pettyfer is a complete washout -- he is sullen, mush-mouthed and seems to spend the entire movie in the throes of a perpetual pout.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 16, 2006
Stormbreaker plays with, well, not complete authenticity, but more-than-expected authenticity.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 15, 2006
The secret agent actioner Stormbreaker is definitely more James Bond for tweens than Nickelodeon fluff like Agent Cody Banks. Maybe it has something to do with the British accents.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 14, 2006
[Rider's] squirrelly film debut amps up Horowitz's wry humor, putting silliness in unintentional competition with the film's action and dramatic elements.

Alex is a junior James Bond, but the movie takes itself too serious to be a fun kids film.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 14, 2006
Parents or older siblings taking the kids to the movies as a family bonding experience are less likely to bond with the kids than find themselves succumbing to the urge to nap. Bring a blankie; you may need it.

Yes, we've got brand new blond junior and grown-up Bonds this season, but the toughest task for Baby Bond could be finding an audience.
| Original Score: C | Oct 14, 2006
The movie runs in fits and starts, dragging along as if on life support for the majority of the first act before hitting its stride for a glorious midsection and than losing it again during a hackneyed climax that's as stupid as it is laughable.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 13, 2006
