I love action movies and spy films, and since I'm not old enough to see James Bond, this was the perfect solution. Car chases, explosions, cool gadgets, this film is what every tween boy should like.

What Parents Need to Know
About Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker
Parents need to know that this movie is fine for tweens overall (despite lots of violent material) and will appeal to kids who've read the popular book series it's based on. It's fairly tame when it comes to sex and language, but the violence is pretty intense for a PG-rated film. There are guns, shooting, and explosions throughout, as well as scenes of peril and action (involving airplanes, motorcycles, horses, cars, and boats). No blood is shown.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about whether a 14-year-old would really have the guts and gumption to be a spy. Why does he put himself in dangerous and life-threatening situations? Did he have any other options, or was he forced into being a spy? Parents can ask kids who've read the books to compare them to the big screen version -- which do they like better? Why? Who would they have cast in all of the roles?

I loved every second!
I love the books and the movie! It is perfect for teens and pre-teens! I'm thirteen it is cool to think that a person your age can actually led such an exciting life. It is good for your imagination and it opens up new ideas in your mind. And I love it because it is so well thought out. :)
Lives in PennsylvaniaI rate this title iffy for age 2 and give itREALLY GOOD
I absolutely loved this movie. Violence is all throughout, but nothing is very graphic. The Lords name is taken in vain a few times, but no other language. I highly recommend this to ages 13+.
