Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

nokilo Loved the plot the action and the effects. I went looking for part two right after the movie was done. So far no hint of a sequel. Common guys get it together and release the rest of the story. I would buy the set.

Tweekums When the planet Lorien was attacked by the Mogadorians nine children were sent to Earth, each protected by a guardian. It is only a matter of time before the Mogadorians track them down and when they do they must unite to defeat them. Each of the nine has a number and for some reason they can only be found in order; 'John Smith' is Number Four and Number Three has just been killed. The children look human but they have special powers which develop as they age and after John accidentally reveals his, his Guardian, Henri, decides it is time for them to move.They head to Paradise, Ohio, where John enrols in the local high school; here he quickly gets on the wrong side of the school bullies when he defends their preferred victim, Sam, and is attracted to Sarah, the ex-girlfriend of the group's leader. This is the least of his worries though; the Mogadorians are closing him on him; when they catch up with him he will have to trust his new friends as he faces his attackers; luckily Number Six has also found him and will fight alongside him.When I sat down to watch this I didn't know anything about it, I just thought it was a catchy title and the blurb on the DVD box suggested it might be worth a watch. While I wouldn't say it was a great film it was interesting enough. There was a decent sense of mystery about John and the other eight children sent to Earth; unfortunately some details were never properly explained; most notably why are they numbered and why can they only be found in order? The early part of the film where he is going to school serves to introduce the ordinary human characters and showcase John's growing skills but it isn't as good as the second half as the Mogadorians provide a real threat. This provides some fairly spectacular fights with some impressive CGI effects. The cast is decent enough even if many of their characters are a bit too cliché. The conclusion is a bit disappointing as it clearly isn't the end of the story… whether a sequel will ever be made is a mystery but it really needs one to wrap up the story. Overall I'd say this is a decent enough fantasy/sci-fi for teenage viewers; not a must see but a reasonable way of passing a couple of hours if you like the genre.

Kirpianuscus 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 .

Tayton Godwin This movie has many interesting things in it. I am number four is a great movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The main character, John (Alex Pettyfer) is training with his guardian, Henri (Timothy Olyphant). John is trying to develop his legacies (powers) to one day unite with the other refugee aliens to get back to their home planet. You will enjoy this movie if you have read the book or like action and horror. It also has lots of action and plot twists, there is also a little bit of romance. This movie also has excellent special effects and the director, D.J. Caruso, did a fantastic job bringing this movie together. Some people say they don't like this movie because they can't follow the plot because it is too confusing, but John describes what is happening in the beginning. So if you stop freaking out about the movie being bad, and just watch the movie. If you do not like this movie, you have no imagination and are overthinking everything. So, go watch this movie filled with interesting things now!
