      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      It's positioned as the start of a franchise, but I Am Number Four's familiar plot and unconvincing performances add up to one noisy, derivative, and ultimately forgettable sci-fi thriller.

      Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: B- Feb 18, 2012 Full Review Philip French Guardian The logic is dodgy, and the most frightening aspect is the sequel promised at the end. Feb 28, 2011 Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard If Pettyfer and Agron were less amorphous figureheads, and there had been a better script, the enjoyment might have been more. Rated: 2/5 Feb 25, 2011 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review There’s simply nothing exceptional about the film, which becomes a problem when its foundation comes almost exclusively from established pop-culture material. Rated: 1.5/4 Jul 31, 2023 Full Review James McMahon NME (New Musical Express) Stylistically it's a mess too. The film contains little, at source, that is its own... Rated: 2/5 May 25, 2021 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com A modestly interesting but mostly paint-by-numbers rip-off of better cinematic adventures. Rated: 2.5/4.0 Sep 11, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

      Emilliano Jr S I was hoping it will get a sequel or a reboot. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review Fin D I got bored. Love the side character Sam, but the rest of the movie was flat and pathetic Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/04/24 Full Review Bob F I thought this was a fun and action packed movie. The acting was pretty good and the special effects were pretty good. I like the plot too. I can't quite figure out why others didn't like it that much because it did a good job holding my attention....I have seen it several times and always stop and watch at least some of it every time I see it on. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/24 Full Review Ryan S Loved this movie, wish there had been a sequel. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/24 Full Review Andrew L Its really great but i wish there is a second movie to it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/10/24 Full Review kirito b I very much enjoyed the movie, the story was very interesting, it was fairly well edited, and I would love to see more the only problem being is that it seems to be on a tight budget so the acting isn't marvel level and the script was a little forced but I honestly loved everything else about this. And these acclaimed "critics" don't enjoy anything that less than 1 billion dollars was spent on ignore them. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/10/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
