I thought this was broing and I think the books are way better becuase the film sucked
I really liked this movie, it was very entertaining. Great cast, good script. It was better than Agent Cody Banks. I would definitely recommend this movie.
Read the books ages ago. Loved them. Thought the movie would be a let down but it wasn't!! good actors!
Tres peu vraisemblable, quelques longueurs, mais quand meme plaisant a regarder.
This movie is as light as cappuccino froth. James Bond meets Agent Cody Banks. Only for girls still in training bras =)
for a action movie it kind of boring ,and it really was'nt great or terrible it was sort of a disapointment.
A young James Bond... Very similar to Agent Cody Banks but trying to take itself a little more serious. All and all, not a bad flick.
A cornball story with a cornball script written on cornball paper using cornbal performances from a not so otherwise cornball cast due to the hugely unfavavorable cornball script and cornball paper. In other words, this movie wasn't very good.
Critic Reviews
This mishmash retread fails to find its own identity on any level and should head straight to cable TV where it belongs.full review
A pointless junior version of James Bond minus the budget (and the suaveness).full review
Taken for what it is -- 'tweenage escapism -- Stormbreaker is moderately fun.full review
Ambitious and enjoyably silly teen thriller.full review
