ridiculous rating

People are voting emotionally.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

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.

Stormbreaker is about a boy, named Alex. He thinks he is a regular schoolboy until his uncle gets killed. He thinks that it is a little strange at the funeral. So he is following after some men's and finds out that his uncle was a spy, on a mission that he got killed. Alex is the new man for the mission. Mr.Blunt is sending Alex to the place where his uncle was. Darrius Sayle is the creator of the Stormbreaker, it is a game. Alex should try it. Darrius plans to give every school in the country a Stormbreaker. But Darrius have other ideas and Alex must find out what it is. I think Stormbreaker is a movie where there is happening things every minute. But it can be a little boring too. I got a little consume in it, maybe because Alex is pretty hot. It is a good movie whit a good story.8 star because it is a good movie, but sometimes it got a little bit boring.

First there was Spy Kids, then there was Agent Cody Banks, and then director Geoffrey Sax (White Noise) brought us this attempt to turn James Bond into a child. Basically orphaned teenager Alex Rider (Alex Pettyfer) is just like any ordinary school boy, but he doesn't know that his uncle Ian (Ewan McGregor) is a secret agent working for the government, and he only finds this out when his uncle is killed in action. Alan Blunt (Bill Nighy) explains to Alex that he was thrust into the super spy world ever since he was a child, for many years he has been unintentionally training to become the next, and he is the only one to carry on the latest mission. Recruited by Blunt and Mrs. Jones (Sophie Okonedo), and armed with a variety of special gadgets by Smithers (Stephen Fry), the assignment is to go undercover in the compound of billionaire Darrius Sayle (Mickey Rourke). Sayle is donating a free Stormbreaker mega-computer to all British schools, and it is up to Alex to try this new system out for himself and make sure there's nothing wrong with it, which of course there is. Alex finds out more secrets going into restricted areas, and he also meets Sayle's sidekicks with vixen publicist Nadia Vole (Missi Pyle) and scar-faced mute servant Mr. Grin (Andy Serkis). The gadgets help the young spy to escape capture, and it a rush against time to get to Sayle before his plan to launch the Stormbreaker weapon in Britain gets underway. In the end, with some help from his housekeeper Jack Starbright (Alicia Silverstone) and his friend Sabina Pleasure (Sarah Bolger), Alex saves Britain, defeats the villain, and goes back to school, but his spying continues. Also starring Damian Lewis as Yassen Gregorovich, Jimmy Carr as John Crawford and Robbie Coltrane as Prime Minister. Rourke is your typical camp Bond style villain, the young hero is okay in his short time, the supporting cast of well known Brits makes for good viewing, and the Bond inspired action and special effects are alright, not a bad family action adventure. Worth watching!

Having not read any of the books, I approached this entirely at face value.The feel of it is very much James Bond from the Roger Moore era - a relatively light hearted spy romp. Add in the training aspect, and the fact that a youngster is the main character, and you have an entertaining action thriller for family audiences.It may not match the books, and if that's important to you going in then it's going to disappoint you. But the main cast is all fine, with Mickey Rourke's comedy helpers making it clear the level on which the film is to be approached.Alex Pettyfer does satisfactorily as Alex, but doesn't set the screen on fire (not that there are many juvenile leads who do). On the whole, this is entertaining but forgettable.
