Alex Rider - Operation Stormbreaker (Full Screen Edition)

I really think it's too bad that this movie has not done better than it has in American theaters. It has everything that a good James Bond movie has without the over-the-top negatives. When there is violence, it's measured and makes a needed point; when there is sex, it's restrained and laced with Britannic humor. (The sexiest part of the movie is the cover jacket; "the girlfriend" in reality is nowhere near that developed or sultry.) Above all, despite its ultimately very serious theme (one that I hope won't give any terrorists out there any ideas), it's fun and doesn't take itself too seriously. Alex Pettyfer (who plays Alex Rider) was hand-picked for this role (which pulls on a great many British archetypes, from Christopher Robin -- considering his appearance -- to James Bond), and he really shines in it. He has a presence that easily stands up to everyone else's in the film, and his use of martial arts and other physical techniques is dazzling. In my opinion, there's not an actor in this film who isn't good to outstanding, even if some of the major roles might be a wee bit too eccentric for American tastes. There's plenty of hat-tipping to the Bond films and other British institutions, and to Japanese and Chinese cultures as well.

Arrived on time and well packaged, no issues with the DVD, played good no issues.

Not originally my choice, but recommended by others and pretty compelling for younger viewers, and teen viewers. Please, consider the rating before you proceed. Anthony Horowitz has produced some expansive works, and seems to have use the experience to translate this into readable fiction for teen readers. Every element is here, adults you can trust and those you can't, youth empowerment, good drama & intrigue, and well-written plot lines. If you like 007 but have a young reader to consider, this is something you may both enjoy.

My son loves the Alex Rider books. This movie was an added bonus that allowed him to share his excitement for the books with the rest of the family. The movie itself was fast paced and fun. The action was fun, but not too much for younger children. I think most kids would enjoy it, even if they haven't read the books. It was fun for the adults too.

I originally bought book 2 in this series for my 12 year old. I read it first to verify appropriateness and got hooked myself. We couldn't find the first book in print and so bought the movie. We all loved it. I understand it does vary from the book. You get what you expect from one of these movies, fun, fast action, a bit of unbelievability. No it's not fine art but that not what we bought it for. The books and movie do not shy away from death and destruction. The bad guys get what's coming to them but without any gory details. Those who are against any gun violence will want to stay away.

Per my son the book series was totally awesome. This movie is based on one of the books. Watching it you can tell it is a "B" movie. Not great quality over all. I think there are like 10 - 12 books in the series but this was the only movie and it was a flop.

Based on the Alex Rider book series, this movie is one that will keep you on the edge of your seat, but is not so scary that younger children can't watch it. It is based on the series of books Alex Rider. Great movie and hoping they come out with another one!

The Alex Rider series is popular with many students in middle and junior high school. The movie was a great supplement, after having read the book, by giving students the opportunity to discuss differences between the two mediums. Students can often describe details in the book that were absent in the movie. This can be a valuable opportunity to engage young readers, who may not necessarily enjoy reading, in a fun book discussion followed up by a movie day reward for completing the book.

Not only is this a great movie but I received it way sooner than I was expecting and it was in perfect brand new condition! Very very very happy with it :)

I love the Alex Rider books and just had to have this film in my DVD collection (shame they haven't made more films from the books!!

原作とはちょっと話が違いますが、これはこれで面白かったです。スピード感があって良かったです。 日本製のプレイヤーを使う方はリージョンコードに注意が必要かも？知れません。
