I Am Number Four feels fresh and new. . .if you haven't already seen the dozens of movies just like it. This movie has some fun moments and a few cool visual effects, but it's pretty much cliche after cliche with a predictable storyline and cookie cutter characters. It's a harmless movie, though, and some people will really like it - I just wasn't one of those people.

There was way more language than listed under the parents guide. I was disappointed in that as my daughter had friends over. I wish I could update that section.

This started with excitement and mystery. It was fun, the romance was good, the overall thrill and Sci-Fi was engaging. Too bad there hasn't been a second.

and Timothy Olyphant. a film who has the save sin and virtue - it is far to be original. it is a virtue because it is not fair to criticize it for the use of a lot of clichés who are basic ingredients in the films for teenagers. it is its basic sin because the expectation of public must be respected. but "I am number five" is the same mix of ambiguous bad boys, noble mission, love story, the super hero in high school and his dramatic love story. sounds well known, did it? so, all is reduced at the new meet with Pettyfer and Olyphant, few special effects, the secret and the run. is it enough ? maybe, because, after the first impressions, it remains a decent Sci. Fi/ youth literature adaptation .
