Many people who have read the Alex Rider series were looking forward to this upcoming film which projects the amazing adventures of the teen spy onto the big screen, however many people were afraid this would turn into another Cody Banks film and be given a bad image because of the recent teen spy films
That fear can now be forgotten!
Being a fan of the Alex Rider books myself you would probably expect a good review from me, but at first I had my doubts too. Things such as including Sabina Pleasure in this film seemed like a bit of risk and it looked like this film was going in the usual direction of a teen spy film (The save-the-girl-and-get-home-to-watch-the-Simpson's storyline). This turned out to be wrong, the author of the book incorporated these changes himself, and we can now call them improvements. It seems if he had one more chance to make changes, this was it, and they were great.
As promised we have been delivered an action-packed, amazing and riveting film! Book to film transitions often have their setbacks and sometimes turn out to displease the audience, but obviously having the author of the book writing the screenplay was a very, very good idea.
With amazing performances by stars such as Ewan McGregor, Mickey Rourke, Bill Nighy, Sophie Okonedo and many others this film turned out to be an excellent piece of work. Alex Pettyfer was an amazing Alex Rider delivering a performance worthy of an award.
Far from a family film, this movie was packed solid with action from start to finish. Lasting only around 90 minutes this proved to be enough time to fit Horowitz' well-written and great story into a feature film, nearly every aspect of the plot was included from the book.
A true work of art.

As a child I grew up with Budgie and his friends Pippa, Chuck & Lionel. I loved this show and still do even at the age of 15 :) I know that when I'm older and have kids I'll keep the video and let them watch it, it's such a good childhood memory that I have to pass it on to my children.
A Little Helicopter named Budgie lives at Harefield Airfield, doing jobs and things that Helicopters do. Usually getting in trouble with Lionel, the head helicopter, Budgie has fun and with his friends Pippa, a little aeroplane, and Chuck, a loud American double rotor helicopter.
Budgie hates having to go through the heliwash! Watch out! A great cartoon for young children, I love it, and I'm sure your children will too. 10/10
