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.

Plenty o' good ol' action and good fight scenes. I lose respect for critics each time they give a bad review to a movie I like or a good review to a crappy movie.

No, it wasn't original. That really shouldn't matter though since fiction has been around for a few thousand years now and all of the bases have been pretty much covered. That disturbia movie they're pawing all over in the reviews for thisNo, it wasn't original. That really shouldn't matter though since fiction has been around for a few thousand years now and all of the bases have been pretty much covered. That disturbia movie they're pawing all over in the reviews for this movie? That was a **** flick decades ago. I am number four at least found a new combination for their grab bag of movie cliches. 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

Like a good episode of smallville? What?!? You guys are losing respect by the day! This movie is excellent! It is what fantastic 4 should have been! This movie is the new generation of, lack for a better series, starwars! Do not get me wrongLike a good episode of smallville? What?!? You guys are losing respect by the day! This movie is excellent! It is what fantastic 4 should have been! This movie is the new generation of, lack for a better series, starwars! Do not get me wrong it is not what starwars is or was to sic-fi, not even close but it compares to the feelings of excitement, fantasy, saga and inspiration as the first time you watch such a great movie! 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!! You won't be disappointed in this movie, if your a fantasy/sic-fi fan!!!… Expand

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

If you're training to be a film critic, feel free to skip this; I'm sure you'll be able to find a movie somewhere about sad people sitting in a cafe, talking. For the rest of us, "I Am Number Four" gets a solid recommendation.… 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.

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.

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

I loved this movie. I heard someone comparing it to Smallville. I don't know about that but I like Smallville and to me it's kind of like it but different. I thought this was a great movie and the girls were really nice to look at.
