I was really excited about watching this film. Being one of the first action movies with a kid being the centre of it. But i was so disappointed. I longed for it to get better and be less cheasy and annoying but it didn't work...arrgh i was so upset This film could have potentially been a great success in my books if the lead boy opened up his shell a bit more. I felt his acting was a bit reserved.
Also Alicia Silverstone's performance was so poor. At the end when Alex is hanging off a building by a thread. Her reaction was so stupid and fake. She didn't show any true emotion or seriousness when i felt the rest of the film had quite a serious tone (other than the part where alex gets his gadgets) It was as if she was an all American cheerleader working in England as a nanny.
I have never read the book so maybe this is how its supposed to be, therefore i should complain about the authors skills not the directors but either way its was rubbish don't watch it...
