This series is highly generic and does not make you care for the characters in any way. If you want serious series about the zombie apocalypse, try the Walking Dead series' or if you want something that doesn't take itself too seriously, Z Nation is the go.

I have to say first of all that I am NOT a fan of anime in any form. That being said, Deltora Quest is one of my favourite book series. When I heard that there was finally going to be a TV adaptation made, I had to watch it, even though it was anime.

While this series may be fairly true to the books in content, they are made in the typical anime style of OTT voices and cruddy sound effects. And don't get me started on the animation style. Fans of both anime and Deltora Quest will like this series, but fans of only DQ may find it a bit lacking in quality.

The only reason Jennifer Rowe sold the rights to OLM is because they were the only ones who assured her that they would not change the content in the series, however if they made the series like "Legend of the Seeker" (I mean production value-wise) it would be much better.

This film is action-packed and humorous from the beginning, with great one-liners and perfect facial expressions.

As far as acting goes, Bill Nighy is perfectly cast as Alan Blunt, Alex Pettyfer is right for Alex Rider, and Stephen Fry is hilarious as Smithers (he should have had a bigger role though). Andy Serkis has just the right face for Mr Grin, and Mickey Rourke is an interesting choice for Herod (now Darrius) Sayle.

Unlike what the naysayers think, this movie is well worth seeing, and was adapted for the screen by the original novel author Anthony Horowitz. I feel it is a worthy adaptation of the book, and hope they make more of the Alex Rider films.
