Chicago Tribune
It's better than some James Bond movies--no matter what your age.

A bland Bond.

Entertainment Weekly
Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker is "Agent Cody Banks" played British and kinda straight -- that is, as straight as you can when your villain, who dispatches foes with a giant jellyfish, is played by a toothpick-chomping Mickey Rourke in purple eye shadow.

The A.V. Club
Rourke's hammy, eyeliner-enhanced acting alone almost makes Alex Rider worth a look.

Mr. Pettyfer is no Sean Connery, no Roger Moore, no Pierce Brosnan, no Timothy Dalton and no George Lazenby even, but the director, Geoffrey Sax, compensates for his zero of a hero by indulging the exceedingly amused and amusing supporting cast.
