HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE I AM NUMBER FOUR FROM DVDTALK
It was bound to happen sooner or later. With "I Am Number Four," Hollywood attempts to branch out to other genres to find a new "Twilight" -- something with heavy romantic and superhuman overtones that could be massaged into a brand new franchise to take over the hearts and wallets of teens when the sparkly vampires take a bow in 2012. Though dealing with intergalactic invasion, corporeal powers, and laser guns, "I Am Number Four" is a relatively tame creation, lacking a thunderous, textured cinematic quality that would separate it from the average ABC Family movie.
An alien from the planet Lorien, Number Four (Alex Pettyfer) has come to Earth to hide from a vicious enemy known as the Mogadorians. Guided by protector Henri (Timothy Olyphant), Four is working his way through adolescence, finding himself in possession of several "Legacies" that offer him exceptional powers. Settling into a quiet life in the suburb of Paradise, Ohio, Four comes across fellow teen Sarah (Dianna Agron) at school, enchanted with her sense of kindness and photographic poetry. Unfortunately, there's little time for love, as the Mogadorians, with their fearless leader Commander (Kevin Durand), draw near, forcing Four, human pal Sam (Callan McAuliffe), and huntress Number Six (Teresa Palmer) to fight back, working to gain full control over their Legacies.
"I Am Number Four" is a children's film, too frail to find an awesome voltage that would lend it a truly epic stance. Instead, it's a surprisingly drab creation, following Four as he feels out the limits of his Legacies (interpreted here as glowing hands and telekinesis), deflects trouble from school bullies, goes all angsty on guardian Henri, and struggles to maintain a love connection with Sarah. It's ultimately a protracted and uneventful origin tale, but that's not made immediately clear, as Caruso seems to be building toward a colossal showdown between Four and the Mogadorians (goofy creatures who have gills located right next to their noses) for the future of Earth. The clash does finally arrive in the final act, but it's an absolute snoozer set inside a high school, showcasing limp stunt choreography, unimpressive special effects, and truly random acts of CGI-laden heroism. "I Am Number Four" is a tease, promising muscular genre goods it never delivers, led by a painfully robotic performance from English actor Pettyfer, who spends the entirety of his screentime fussing with his unconvincing American accent.
