Critics Consensus

Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker is strictly children's fare, as it lacks originality, excitement, and believabiltity.

Richard Roeper Ebert & Roeper I forgot most of it about 20 seconds after it was over. Oct 17, 2006 Full Review Nancy Churnin Dallas Morning News 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. Rated: C Oct 14, 2006 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com 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. Rated: 2/4 Oct 13, 2006 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens 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. Nov 6, 2019 Full Review Jane Boursaw Common Sense Media Teen spy hero makes leap from book to screen. Rated: 3/5 Jan 1, 2011 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com What doesn't quite work are the more overtly jokey bits. Rated: 2/4 Feb 12, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Kurt S Great movie! Not sure why so many ratings are so low. Marked it four because it's a bit cheesy, but other than the cheesey acting, I think the casting was well done. It mostly follows the book too. It would be nice if it was a bit closer to the books. Overall, pretty good though. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/27/24 Full Review Drew H Amazing movie must watch Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/12/23 Full Review Simon S Excellent action scenes, witty dialogues, good entertainment. Pity that the film failed in theatre. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/02/23 Full Review Audience Member A guilty pleasure film of mine don't know why I enjoy it the directing isn't great and I don't particularly like many of the actors but I watch it once a year at least Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Rappids J Entertaining garbage. Stephen Fry and Ewan Mcgregor were good though. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/27/22 Full Review Audience Member A worthy adaptation of the (brilliant) book while sometimes lacking originality and emotion ultimately it does the Alex rider name justice Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
