Box Office Steve Ramos While Caruso will fail to win over adult reviewers, I Am Number Four will connect with teen moviegoers anxious for a new young adult fantasy fix to hold them until the next Twilight Saga hits in November. | 10 | |
Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert I Am Number Four is shameless and unnecessary. That's sad, when a movie casts aside all shame, demonstrates itself willing to rip off anything that might attract audiences, and nevertheless fails | 8 | |
eye Weekly Jason Anderson Neither Bay nor director D.J. Caruso (Disturbia) has ever been responsible for a film that so successfully fulfilled the imperatives of a modern blockbuster while retaining the quieter moments and witty idiosyncrasies that make this seem like more than a product. | 15 | |
ReelViews James Berardinelli It's very loud, very fast paced, and very derivative. | 8 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs Although it occasionally clicks with a bit of action or some humor (mostly revolving around Olyphant), the film's hodgepodge construction makes it feel unfocused and/or desperate to throw anything and everything out onto the screen in hopes that something will stick. | 7 | |
Metacritic.com 30 critics | 7 | |
Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer 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. | 6 | |
