When this gets a 3 and f**king Justin Bieber gets a 5 I have lost faith in movie reviewers. This should easily be a 7 or 8. WIth all the stupid twilight-esque stuff coming out finding an actually decent movie is getting difficult. Highly recommended.

It easilyThe most useful part of this site, as far as I'm concerned, is that it helps me to establish my expectations. When I see a movie that looks interesting has gotten a 35 metascore, I'll see it anyway, but won't expect a ton. It easily surpassed my modest expectations. The lead is solid, Tim Olyphant is great, as usual, in a smaller role, and the actress from Glee does a fine job. The chimera sidekick gets a little ridiculous toward the end, and I would have liked a bit more information on the "bad guys" and the other kids who need rounding up, but it was a great excuse to get out there and eat some popcorn.… Expand

Not sure I want to see this turned into franchise, as was super-heavily hinted at in the last few scenes. But it was an enjoyable 90 minutes or so, I would give it a try if you're looking for something fun and un-challenging.

Im so bored by this movie. At the beginning of the movie, I thought it was a horror movie. after 2 minutes, I thought it was a SF movie... obviously I am cheated by the director, this is a typical teenage movie with simple and stupid story ....

By the end, it's looking like a Disney-channel series (with potential sequels). The only saving grace is Alex Pettyfer, an up-and-coming new prettyboy star.

You would think that there would be a nice story and lore behind the cool action. There isn't thought. This movie never makes up it's mind if it wants to be a cool action flick, or a drama film, and it ends up falling short on both ends. The action scenes are too few and far apart to hold the movie together. The story never really gets going and leaves so much unanswered. The main character being an alien is an excuse to not explain most of the plot points. The story is also filled with that cheap, overused 20-something year olds acting like they're in a fictional high school setting stereotype. Bullies that induce physical violence? Check. Nerds with no self esteem? Check. Main character that FIST PUMPS AFTER KISSING A GIRL? Check...

The movie could have been a lot more, but stopped short. You only get to see two of the nine aliens' cool powers, and the story leaves many more questions than answers. Minus points for devoting an entire scene to walking away from an explosion.… Expand

And it was entertaining too. Don't expect to be surprised by any great plot twists, but if you dig superhero movies then you should probably check it out. Besides these stupid published critics don't like anything unless it's some dreary melodrama and even then they probably only say they like that stuff in case it wins an award. Just like how they all went crazy over that sapphire movie. Which, by the way, wasn't original either.… Expand

The acting was great! The plot is great! The actors chosen are perfect for there roles... And timothy Olyphant was as usual, superb! This is a great movie to see with kids older than ten, a date and even a guys night out! Go and support this movie this weekend so they can finish the saga... Not much of a spoiler but the movie is titled " I am 4" and depending on the money this makes it can easily be made into 2 more great movies!!! Because there are 5 more characters to meet!!

I have no idea what's wrong with all these critics. This movie is awesome! OK so the movie follows John Smith(played by Alex Pettyfer) who is an alien part of a group of nine of his kind that escaped his planet before they were killed. Numbers one, two, and three are dead, so now the Mog are coming after him. He has to find a way to stop them or he's next. Do you wanna see this now? No? What's your problem? Lets get the story straight though. This is not a Twilight remake/rip-off. Yes, I can see some resemblances to Twilight but it really isn't like that at all. Alex Pettyfer was very good for his first big movie. He does his part very well and doesn't slip up. The girl he falls in love with, Sarah, played by Dianna Agron does fine but nothing really special. Number Six, played by Teresa Palmer does a great job in her role. She is just an awesome, gun wielding alien. But the man who steals the show is Timothy Olyphant who plays Henri, John's protector. Timothy Olyphant is always cool and awesome, but give him a sword and he is the ultimate badass in this movie. The script, to my surprise, was very well written. everything makes sense and there isn't and cringe-worthy dialogue. The special effects were spectacular. Everything from the lights coming out of his hands to the monsters he fights are extremely well done. My only gripe, and this is a very small one, is that the villains weren't really developed much. They were just there, I wish we learned more about them. But again, that is a very minor thing. Overall, I Am Number Four is the movie I have been waiting for since the start of the year. Definitely my favorite movie of the year so far.… Expand

Alex Pettyfer is John Smith, a mysterious boy whoIf you think you can make another version of TWILIGHT (2008) just by combining two good-looking teen idols in one screen, figuring out whether thiz will work? You are completely messed up. Alex Pettyfer is John Smith, a mysterious boy who possesses extraterrestrial power in his hand. With his protector Henri (Timothy Olyphant), they look like father and son, but beneath it all they are aliens in human form, sought by a group of evil alien who are called Mogadorian. Meanwhile, in his escapee, Alex meets and falls in love with an ordinary and beautiful girl named Sarah (Played by Glee sensation, Dianna Agron). Initially, I thought it will be some kind of A Romance with Actions. Instead of that, it turns out to be Pure Action with a Romantic background. The chemistry between Alex and Sarah actually went pretty smoothly, but the proportion is too brief and not as intense as it should. The Director is D. J. Caruso who is well-known for DISTURBIA (2007) and EAGLE EYE (2008). After two or three scenes at the beginning, the movie atmosphere reminds me of one of those SMALVILLE TV series (2001-2011) which is including: the setting, the characters and the conflict. Most of the Action scenes are good enough to watch, though no further explanation about what is really happenning. I previously thought the Number Six character who is described as a sexy and energetic girl will be the scene stealer (played by my favorite rising star, Teresa Palmer). As a matter of fact, her character is too minor and there is the impression she is just a mere sweetener. At the end, the movie is closed by a situation which is opening a possibility of potential sequel. In summary, thiz is not a movie that you want to spend 100 minutes of your precious time. Unless, you are 16-year-old teen who are attracted to thiz kind of movie, then you should go to see it before your friends watch it first. For me, it is definitely not a number one.

When I saw the trailer for the film I honestly thought it would be good and in a way it was I suppose. The characters were reasonably believable and had emotional back stories that were either linked through the past or were about to become linked in the present. But the term action packed is one I am using to uncover a flaw in the film. Through out the film there are constant action scenes with fights and explosions everywhere sometimes this can make a film shocking. But in I am number 4 the only shock to the system is seeing how unbelievably bad the special effects are. Bad special effects don't help when a film is like i said action packed.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not only is John Smith(Alex Pettyfer) a Lorien, a creature from another planet(now a distant reminiscence) sent to Earth along with nine other estranged refugees, he's a Legacy, an extra-terrestrial with superhero potential. Henri(Timothy Olyphant), his guardian and surrogate parent(who is much more accesible than hologram projection of Marlon Brando's disembodied head), at every turn, encourages John to keep a low profile, and yet the father figure never broaches the s-word, the bane of the tan(and buff) alien's ability to disappear in plain sight. Worse than going blind, the unfounded threat made by Catholic priests to regulate morality since time immemorial, self-abuse, or rather, in this case, possessing impure thoughts about the opposite sex, as suggested by the incident on the Floridian beach at the outset of "I Am Number Four", have actual physical ramifications on the very instruments that pollute one's own, and the other's temple. Blue lights shoot out of John's hands, a twilight emission of electronic fluid, coaxed from the palms when the skinny dipper of a female persuasion gets closer to Four(aka John), the sexually excited alien. John's real father, as well as his mother, both killed back at the home planet on the day it exploded, would be better able to handle their son's growing pains than Henri, who reluctantly allows his charge to enroll in school without ever addressing the pitfalls of an intensely coed environment. Shirking off his parental duties back in the Sunshine State nearly undermined their efforts to elude detection from the Margorains(their gills suggest a race of sharks that are a thousand generations removed from their Earth-bound ancestors). The promotion of a celibate lifestyle catches up with the otherwise detail-oriented Henri, in which John, the unlikeliest of virgins, having been sheltered from matters concerning his body, looks panic-stricken when he lights up the ocean and night sky with his hormones, suggestive of, perhaps, the legacy's ill-preparedness in dealing with late-blooming puberty, similar to the titular character in Brian DePalma's "Carrie"(played by Sissy Spacek), who was never told about menstrual blood, much to the delight of her high school peers. "I Am Number Four", or rather, "I Am the Superman Origin Story", leaves the question about inter-species sex unanswered. In Richard Donner's "Superman II", the Man of Steel surrenders his otherworldly powers in order to explore the physical side of love with Lois Lane(Margot Kidder), because according to the Jor-el hologram, Superman(Christopher Reeve) has to be human before he can love like a man. John, on the other hand, thinks like a man, in which the alien's infatuation with Sarah(Dianna Argon) informs his confrontations with Mark(Jake Abel), Sarah's ex, who provokes the numbered humanoid into spilling more blue light, therefore compromising the desired anonymity that the Loriens covet. Towards the end, "I Am the Superman Origin Story" turns into "I Am Six the Margorian Slayer", when Four is joined by a duplicate Buffy(played by Teresa Palmer), in what, admittedly, turns out to be a rousing action-packed finale, highlighted by a shape-shifting beagle, against the backdrop of a Whedon-esque setting, a high school, where good and evil hash things out with a maximum of sound and fury. Choosing spectacle over story, "I Am Number Four", obviously cross-marketed for both sexes, leaves the girls(who loved "Twilight") behind by not exploring the potential hazards that may arise from spending one night of passion with a "little green man" from outer space.… Expand

It was a pretty good movie. The ending was all right, but I felt it was sorta rushed. I'd enjoy a sequel, because it was a unique superhero movie that doesn't appear to be based on a comic book.

Saw this movie opening weekend, and then just saw it again last night in iMAX. This movie had me entertained the entire time with tons of action and just enough romance.

"Number Three is dead, I Am Number Four" the story begins, and this entertaining film takes the viewer on a ride from there.

WIth stylistic and plot elements taken from the Terminator series, Superman, War of the Worlds (amongst others, including Donnie Darko), there is a dark undercurrent to this movie which barely manages to be felt, but which you can certainly project into it if you want. Although I had hoped it might be a little more original it didn't really matter because of charismatic actors with enough humour in their way to see that they were skirting 'Scary Movie' territory even as they played it straight. The lack of originality didn't matter for this reviewer. The villains were horrible - the kind who you wouldn't want to meet out-and-about - yet they held a strange rockstar appeal in their long black coats. The special effects were tremendous, and although there were almost no plot surprises for an older movie watcher, there were plenty of well-crafted moments to keep it alive. The sound track was great, and effective in most cases, and the sound effects made the surround-sound in the cinema sparkle. This movie could be part of a cure for depression.… Expand

My wife who also read the book actually liked the movie better. The movie lacks the character build up compared to the book, but I can see why things were changed for the movie to move the pace faster. It would have been way too long!! I think this series has a lot of potential and can be better than the Twilight series if given a chance. Not so luvvy duvvy... and not filled with cheezey lines....like the "lion and the lamb" crap like the Twilight movies had. I didn't think the acting was all that bad as some of the viewers have commented. Twilight had much worse actors... This is a bit like watching Smallville... but the action payoff at the end was no less than AMAZING!!! ....by the way, Number 6 is way HOTT!!!! ...and she is every bit as badass as "Hit Girl"!!! I really hope they make a sequel!!!… Expand

Its an okay movie. Its very One-Tree Hill CW-esque teen drama with a Sci-Fi twist. Its quite a while for the actual action sequences to pick up. If you like Teen-Drama and don't really need a lot of action then this is the movie for you.

The plot was iffy, but it was a pretty good movie in my book and it definitely deserves a higher rating than 6.5/10. That is just ridiculous. I'm also not really sure what people meant when comparing it to twilight. That is just insulting. It's also not just a chick flick, trust me, guys will like this too. So overall there were a few things that I would have changed but I did enjoy watching this movie.… Expand

It's about catchy, it's about excitement, it's about straight to the point, it's about mystic over the questions we all will ask!! Who is number 5??? Guess, they won't tell!! In every way, this movie delivered, to the MODERN crowd, not to the OLD MAN WHO STILL STICKS TO 70's classics!! Come on, move on, old man!!!… Expand

This movie was super exciting, the plot was well done and super impressive visuals. Usually movies based off of books are abominations but this one was done exceptionally well. I can't wait for the second one.

dont see why any people would hate it, i mean its so much better than another ya adaptations, like twilight. twilight was rubbish and downright crap.

love teresa palmer and alex pettyfer.
they had so much energy, unlike the ghost like cast of twilight, who does not even need makeup to look like vampires.
its like the best cast ever. teresa and agron were so cute with two very contrasting personalities, which is a great comparison and also augments the fact that pettyfer wants a normal life instead of the frantic life that he has now.
pettyfer was also very very handsome too.

GREAT MOVIE!!… Expand

They're not wrong: this is not, by any stretch of the imagination, flawless. But, there is enough gemstone amid the dross to make this pretty enjoyable.… Expand

I thought it would be action packed and at least fun to watch, but it turned out different. The characters are over-cliched, the story is uninteresting, and all the action comes at the last half hour of the movie (thought there are soem plot holes and confusing events). The ending implies that there is a sequel (wich makes sence, because this film is based off a book series), but I hope the next one doens't get made. Or, if it gets made, at least keep the silly teen-romance drama out of it and focus on the aliens and the shoot-outs.… Expand

The problem is that it has 0 originality, mysteries boy meet pretty girl and for some reason they cant be together and fight against all odds, etc.... It makes you wanting to puke on the writers.
The biggest reason I probably hate these kind of movies is that the acting is so bad that you hate the characters and wish they will die so the movie will end.

GhostSniper, I wouldn't be surprised if the Justin Bieber movie is better.… Expand

I am the number four, it is of these movies that they they all remember for being extremely bad, with such a frightful script and the music, the actions, the photography, the direction they stop much that to wish (or rather much that to hate)
