I liked it. It is very cool movie, and I'm sure that the sequel will be very very cool...!

If I hadn't read the book, it would be a great movie. But it's a wreck when it comes to the book.
Not the greatest. Plot was same old same old, but they told it in a way I did not hate. I enjoyed the movie over all and will see any squeals. I'd say worth a watch. On a scale of portal (the game) this is portal 2 so not mind blowing but definitely fun the first time through.
despite all the hate in this shoutbox i went ahead and watched this. i enjoyed it, it wasn't bad, and look forward to any sequels!
Last 30 mins are the best... due to awesome Special Effects and an Epic Final Battle...
Actually liked the movie... Maybe should have been some less romantic at some times, but still good movie.
Enjoyed it quite a bit... Special Effects did help with that, to be honest...
So overall, let's say : 7/10 maybe 7,5/10 ...
ist wie twilight nur in anders aber trotzdem sehr gut und werd twilight mag sollte den auch aufg alle fälle gucken!!!
IMDB:6,8
Had high hopes after a friend said that it was awesome, but I got so bored in the first half that I almost felt like deleting it. Managed to reach the end though and I must say, other than the final 15-20 minutes, there isn't any redeeming factor in the movie.
I do like fantasy and sci-fi, but this one just didn't cut it.
I agree with lotophagous!
Just watched this, wasn't what I was expecting and was a bit too much 'fantasy bullshit'. It was watchable but not amazing, a shame really!
I loved this movie as a teen, and I still think it's great. I don't really know why it didn't work out, but maybe because it feels more like a huge ass trailer and not a standalone movie. It had a lot of buildup and an open ending, and too little real content for a standalone. Also I have never read the books so maybe they f*ed up there. Too bad. Maybe a tv show in the future, like Percy Jackson. One can hope.
Rating: 7.5/10
A great movie. If you're 12. Was nice to see flip phones again.
Really don't have much to say....somewhat typical teenage fantasy movie...I like the casting choice and the whole idea, but it was all just too weak and meh. Really hope the book is better, the movie does suggest it could be in my opinion.
"You can go wherever you want, see whatever you want to. But a place is only as good as the people you know in it."
I like that line. I've heard it a few times elsewhere before, but now I can use this film as a reference. In fact, there are a few other lines I liked in this. I thought I had seen I Am Number Four before, but now catching it on Showtime, it doesn't quite ring a bell other than the title. The high school teenager coming of age setting mixed with sci-fi/alien superhero seems to be the trend these days. Of course, I've seen many outings of the same thing in different forms before it, that I'm a fan of, which was why I was ever remotely interested in films this. After having seen Max Steel recently, they both are a lot alike, but this one seems to be more well written and produced.
"Quite a production"
I also like the characters more here, especially the chemistry between John and Sarah, who happens to be the sweet artsy type of girl that's into photography. There are a handful of other "number" members which gives off a sort of a Power Rangers vibe. I noticed The X-Files references and bits of Terminator 2 influences (shotgun, Number Six entrance) too. Now looking at the cast, I see Teresa Palmer which I like a lot from other films (Wolf Creek, The Grudge 2, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Warm Bodies, and the recent Lights Out). I knew I recognized Kevin Durand (The Strain) underneath that alien skin. The creature designs are very sci-fi, like something you'd see from a Rick and Morty episode. Coincidentally, the latest Rick and Morty which I just saw earlier today had a line that said "common name", and there's a John Smith and Jane Doe in this which are common names.
The end leaves it open for a sequel, in similar way as Max Steel does. Perhaps we'll get one someday. I do wonder how they would title it though. Would they retain the "I Am Number Four" and maybe add a subtitle or sequential number?
This was one of the most boring movies I have seen in quite some time… the story was just blah… unbelievable how people (re)act.
If you go to see "I am number four" I suggest you leave your brain at home then sit back and enjoy the pretty lights and moving pictures. Don't expect much and you might actually enjoy it.
This film should have a sequel! I really liked the story (and Dianna Agron).
Crappy movie and forgetable characters
does anybody know if there is a sequel comming?
I liked, it's not a marvelous movie, but have a nice story and they can make a very good sequel...
I liked it.
It opens up for a much better sequel.
If there was more Sam and Number Six and less teen romance it would have been much better, but still not great.
the end of the movie wasn't bad, but as the others said: Twilight meets Harry Potter...
I do agree with Koying.
It has a Twilight ring to it and the vampires have been replaced by aliens... Otherwise it is the same story, the same development and the same boring stuff.
The trailers were somewhat more promising...
Typical teen movie, in the "Twilight" vein (I guess, I haven't seen Twilight)
