Review of I Am Number Four (2011) by Leeway — 11 Jun 2011

I agree on GhostSniper.

I honestly don't get why this movie generated so many negative comments/reviews/hate when the new Justin Bieber Bio-pic got a 3-5 star rating. Call me a hater but seriously the kid with the swooning hair ain't even in his 20's and he's making a huge deal of how he got popular...ehh but anyways, who am I to say anything?

Anyways, this movie was a cut-above the other stupid sci-fi thrillers (most notably Skyline), the acting was ok and the script was good enough. Alex Pettyfer acts as the normal raging hormone teenager who so happens to be the Number Four, working under Timothy Olyphant who is his guardian (notice his hair, Scream 2). An action movie needs to have some sort of romantic spark (especially when people are saying this is like a guy-friendly version of twilight) so I guess Michael Bay chose a girl that doesn't bare all (in a way). I have to say that he chose well, Dianna Agron (GLEE) and Teresa Palmer play the two main girls in the movie. The story can use a hand or two but so far it is what it is and nothing more.

65%.

Its definitely a crowd-pleaser! but if you're looking for high extreme visuals and a powerful sci-fi story with good acting...well, this isn't your cup of tea. I suggest on waiting for Super 8 which I can't wait.
