Stormbreaker Book Vs Movie

Stormbreaker

Intro:

Stormbreaker book/movie is based on a young 14 year old male Alex Rider. He discovers the unbearable truth about his Uncle Ian Rider. He then is confronted with his worst nightmares Herod Sayle Nadia Vole and Mr Grinn. Alex is forced to go undercover to find out what is really going on in Sayle’s twisted head. The whole of England depends on him.

Characters:

Darios Sayle is a twisted maniac that wants to destroy the lives of many children in England. He is quite short and has a humours sense of style. He is creepily annoying and has a Portuguese man of war. Nadia Vole is a ugly lady with a ginormous mole. She wears her hair in a tight military styled bun. She loves watching children die right in front of her. She is also a slimy rat because she even said that she was on Alexis side but she lied and revelled a trap door that leads to the jellyfish.

Plots:

The book started with a knock to the door but the movie started with Ian Rider fleeing the bad guys and then he was shot dead by Yassen. Alex then went to his uncles funeral and that’s where he met Alyn Blunt. He then went to the Airport to follow up on what he had heard the day earlier. He found MI6 headquarters where they persuaded him to join. He was sent to Sayle Enterprises undercover as a boy who was supposed to test the stormbreakers.

Highlights:

The highlights for me were the part in the movie where Ian takes out those two motorcyclists with his BMW. But one of my favourite is where Alex goes out of the window at royal and general and climbs in to Ian Riders office to try and find out the truth about his uncle. I think that part in the movie where Alex was at the wreckers and he ran in to some bad guys.

Preferences:

I preferred the book Stormbreaker because it was a lot more descriptive and I usually just prefer the book. The movie I think didn’t live up to my expectations and the book had much more action packed fun. The movie was a little blah and I didn’t enjoy it that much. The book had more scenes in it and was really spine throbbing the whole way through.

Conclusion:

Overall I thought that the producers of the movie Stormbreaker could have stuck to the book a bit more because I was missing the really cool scenes that I was really looking forward to. I think the book just grabs your attention and it doesn’t muck around and it gets strait to the point.
