Leave your thoughts about I Am Number Four.
| E! OnlinePeter ParasCaruso has a knack for these types of stories: young men who want to settle down with a nice gal but must escape and unravel the mysteries of those who would take him down. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...a silly sci-fi outing with dull as dishwater leads, subpar CGI and hopes for a franchise. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonIt's just like Twilight except he's from outer space instead of inner night. It's just like Harry Potter only totally without any charm or humor at all... |
| Mania.comRob VauxThe credits roll just as things are getting interesting, exacerbating I Am Number Four's poor sense of timing and marking it as naked franchise fodder... |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA bastard hybrid of 'Smallville,' 'Twilight' and any number of other angsty teen-themed sci-fi shows and movies...feels like a co-production of the CW and the SyFy channel that's inexplicably escaped to the big screen. |
| Dallas Morning NewsGary DowellA polished but unremarkable science-fiction adventure, I Am Number Four is the kind of movie you enjoy while it's in front of you but soon forget about. |
| Seattle TimesTom Keogh"I Am Number Four" leaves plenty of room for sequels. Here's hoping. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderThe film eventually becomes a fairly useful action flick, with chases and showdowns brawny enough to make young men stop feeling embarrassed for having accompanied their girlfriends to the theater. |
| FromTheBalconyBill ClarkThis is a whimper of a film simply trying to capitalize on the success of the Twilight formula and, well, every superhero movie under the sun. |
| The VinePaul VerhoevenMore like I AM NUMBER TWO. There. All the cards are now on the table. |
