Number two

I Am Number Four (2011)

Director D J Caruso adapts the teen book of the same name with assistance from Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg that stars Alex Pettyfer and Dianna Agron. Aliens send kids with special powers to earth and they are hunted by bad aliens.

Why? Why, why, why did this film get made? The simple answer is every one wants a hit teen franchise to print money for them these days. Apart from the modern trend for fast cut and confusing action sequences the biggest problem this film has is that the plot is pretty empty. So little of the mythos of the world involved is revealed it is impossible to get invested in what is happening. It does not help that nearly all the characters are completely bland and devoid of personality as well.

2/5
