    The movie was great

    I read the book, and the moive totaly strayed off topic for like, the whole thing, but overall, i think it to be a great movie for kids 12+, a little violence, bu its a spy movie so, it has to have a little. but nothing kids cant see

    Riveting James Bond style movie for tweens

    We rented the DVD because of the interesting cast and concept and were really pleased to watch this fast-action spy thriller. This is not a particularly funny film (like Agent Cody Banks), but it is highly stylized, rather British, and clearly echoing James Bond films, but in a way that's entertaining for kids 7 or 8 and up, but particularly to 10 to 16 year olds. Some press reviews complained that there wasn't enough violence in it, but that seemed to be a good aspect to us. But with the constant rock score, the riveting editing, and intense stunts, it seemed entertaining enough. The lead actor is cute, so girls may like that, but he's not real emotional, but then neither is Bond and women love him. Mickey Rourke is weird. Bill Nighy is fantastic as the head spy. Alice Silverstone is kind of funny. Worth checking into.

    EXTREMLY FUN AND FAIRLY VIOLENT

    I LIKE (EXCUSE ME) LOVE, WELL NOT LOVE BUT I WILL, AS ALWAYS, SKIP TO THE POINT. COMMONSENSE WAS wrong. How could you give a movie like this three stars? I mean I loved it A LOT. But this is very action packed that is about the only thing parents might want 2 worry about. It's awesome! i like the the non stop action sequences.

    A Super-Cool film.

    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.

    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. :)

    REALLY 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+.

    Stupid movie Alert!

    Stupid movie. I read the book first and liked it and have since read the entire series but this movie is idiotic. I thought it would be like the book but it was far less interesting. DO NOT WATCH.

    Should've aimed for a PG-13 rating.

    The book was too mature for the transition to be PG-13 without cutting/drastically changing out major points of the plot, therefore the movie was bad.

    The kind of movie you'd watch over vacation when you have nothing to do.

    I found Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker an entertaining, but very silly, movie. I found the plotline a little bit confusing, even though I'd read the book previously, but otherwise, it was engaging and fun. As an action movie, it has a little bit of violence, including a person getting stabbed by a blowfish, martial arts, a person getting attacked by a jellyfish, and gun use. Good for kids above nine or ten years old.

    Boo! I hated it! Cody Banks is SOOO much better.

    Yeah, Alex Rider is packed with a lot of action, but I've got news for teens like me: the action sequences are pure crap. Boring. HOW couldn ANY movie make a scene where a boy is trapped in a small tank with a giant man-of-war jellyfish SO boring? How? I almost fell asleep. But if you really do want to watch it, bring some coke or something loaded with caffein with you if you're watching it an night. Kids, go elsewhere. Agent Cody Banks is great for tweens, and the Indiana Jones Trilogy is top-noth, and I mean THE BEST. Nothing really to worry about in this movie expect a little corny violence and one evil character getting electrocuted by a man-of-war. Still, this film is corny. I hated it. It went too fast and there was very seldom dialogue. Just explosions and boredom. Nothing else really to worry about, except the commercialism. There's a lot. But that's still nothing bad. However, be warned that Alex Rider is not for adults. Why? Because it's horrible!

    Amazing!

    This movie was amazing. I think it could hold just about anybody's interest. It is a great spy movie. Alex Rider is just this typical kid but MI6 wants him to work for him. They send him on this mission to find out the truth about the Stormbreaker computers. It was a great movie definatley worth seeing again and again!

    average...

    Although a good book it seems that Alex can get out of anything.

    Stormbreaker is surprisingly taking the world by... um... storm! The gadgets are cool, with Nintendo's name stuck as one of the main features. Sure, kids can be a bit scared, but then again, anyone under 3rd Grade shouldn't even be watching the movie! If your tween-teen is not getting enough fun and action, see the movie.
