When I saw the names Steven Spielberg and Michael Bay as producers, I immediately lowered my expectations for director D.J. Caruso’s adaptation of the novel of the same name “I Am Number Four”. The novel was written by Jobie Hughes and James Frey (pen named as Pittacus Lore) with screenplay co-written by Miles Millar (Smallville), Alfred Gough and Marti Noxon; so yeah, you guessed it, it would only be a matter of time before the influences of “Twilight” would branch …

Two Jews On I AM NUMBER FOUR
'I Am Number Four' directed by D. J. Caruso (Disturbia) is a scifi/action/teen-love story based on the best selling novel of the same name.      Alex Pettyfer portrays John Smith (Number Four). John is your basic teenage alien from the planet, Lorien. He's being hunted by the super evil Mogadorians. The villainous Mogadorians are eliminating the nine Loriens that are hiding on earth in numerical order.      When the film opens, Lorien Number …

* out of ****     "I Am Number Four" exists on a very sad and bleak side of cinema where everything is all wrong. The film is a hammy, excessive CGI extravaganza that cares little about characters or story and decides to focus more on special effects, death scenes, battle scenes, stunts, and making loads of money off of the product. The ones behind the production seem to know what teens want out of a movie made for teens, and every last detail is crammed into the package to the …

“I Am Number Four”? More like “I Am Number Snore”! Who didn’t see that joke coming? February is known for being the trademark “hit or miss” season for the movie industry, historically giving us duds like Jumper while also knocking it out of the park with some new classics like Martin Scorsese’s brilliant “Shutter Island”. It was this time last year that Shutter Island was released and that the film did impress me so much, which only makes …

I have always heard that imitation is the highest form of flattery.  Well I guess that means that I Am Number Four is a film meant to flatter all things science fiction and fantasy, or at least that is the impression.  Granted the concept of the story is very interesting and has great potential, the images and story that is given to the audience are less than flattering.      I Am Number Four tells the story of aliens from the planet Lorien who arrive on Earth after …

I Am Number Four is based on a young-adult novel that spent six weeks on the children's chapter of The New York Times Best Seller list. It is also the first part of a six book series. No wonder this book was snagged up to make a movie, I imagine all the producers heard was ka-ching. And with producer Michael Bay on board how could this not be a hit.      The movie is about a teenage outsider named John Smith, how outside, well he's from space. He and his eight other …

Star Rating:         With just a little less violence and a complete removal of the foul language, I Am Number Four would be adequate material for a Saturday morning action series, like Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. It clearly has the same sensibilities: Plot, character, theme, and significance don’t matter as long as something marketable is being shown to a mass audience. This is an astonishingly stupid movie, and the filmmakers must have known it, for there’s …

Watchout Exterminator, Number Four Is Coming For You.
When you get a chance you should definitely check out this movie "I Am Number Four", my wife and I saw this last week and we enjoyed it immensely, This is rated PG-13 and will last for 1 hour and 50 minutes. It is a science fiction, action, and a real thriller. If you liked the "Exterminator" and "Final Destination" movies  the you will love this one. This turns out to be a love story  mixed in with thrilling science fiction and a whole lot of action. This …

12A - 109mins - Action/Sci-Fi/Thriller - 23rd February 2011   Part teen drama, part sci-fi and part coming of age is how I would best describe this one and I don't think that amalgamation came together as well as it could have, which if I'm being honest would not have been very good anyway.   I Am Number Four is about a boy called John (Alex Pettyfer). He is no ordinary boy but an alien that has found himself on planet Earth with his guardian, Henri (Timothy Olyphant) who helps …
