I Am Number Four

[katikat]

15 years ago, I would've eaten this movie with a spoon. But now, it mostly amused me just how much it resembled Smallville - and then I found out that the script was written by Miles Millar & Alfred Gough, the execs of Smallville. LOL! And it really was SV rehashed - a bratty teenage alien with superpowers: check; a geek BFF: check; a Lana Lang like Mary Sue: check; a "you need to hide" protector: check; hip songs: check! LOL. Like LOLOLOL! XD I mean, I'm not saying that the book on which the movie was based isn't good but this was so derivative! A literal carbon copy of SV, even written by the same writers/execs!

What I did like was the last fight and the special effects, those were incredible. And Number Six! Gosh, that girl kicked ass like nobody's business. In the last fight, when Four blew up the bad guy and she covered him with the shield! That was so awesome. Six was definitely the highlight of the movie for me. And for very selfish reasons - because I LOVE a protective!girl - I would love her and Sam to become a couple. That would be awesome!

I guess I will have to get my hands on the book series to find out how it goes on.
