Op woensdag 9/03/2011 ben ik met Joke in de Kinepolis in Brussel 'I am number four' gaan kijken. Ik vond het echt een super goede film. Het leek precies of je echt in het verhaal was, en het was nochtans geen 3D. Zoveel actie en emotie tegelijk, ook ontroerend op sommige momenten. Ik hoop dat er een vervolg komt op deze film. Mijn excuses dat de recensie niet in het nederlands is maar ik vond deze perfect omschreven:
I Am Number Four (Movie Review)
Okay, guys, this is my first movie review, so bear with me. I was going to do a normal review, I figured I'd do this instead since I just saw the movie. Today I went to see I Am Number Four, and it was amazing! I had high expectations, considering I really enjoyed the book, and I was happily surprised when it actually surpassed them. Alex Pettyfer was great as Number Four, and I think all of the actors portrayed their characters well. The story was great, and even though I read the book before, I think it was easy to follow if you hadn't read it. And wow, the special effects were great! I was totally drawn into the movie from the beginning.

I'm going to be honest: Pettyfer definitely added something to the movie that had nothing to do with actual acting. So maybe I'm a tad more impressed because of that fact, but I still thought it was a great movie. It was filled with action and good dialogue, and I actually cared about the characters. One thing i thought was great was how nicely everything was paced. Nothing really suffered in the transformation from book to movie, except maybe a little bit of explaining. But nothing was totally overlooked, and I was overall, really happy with what scenes were kept in and what scenes were looked over and shortened.--
The movie isn't particularly deep, but I don't think anyone went into that theater expecting something deep really. It also had a few rough scenes; I thought the romance between Agron and Pettyfer seemed a little quick and strained, but they didn't affect the movie in a strong way. It was intense and suspenseful, and completely lived up to expectations. My favorite part was probably how great the battle/fight scenes looked. I'd recommend this one to anyone looking for a good action-adventure with some, (cough, Alex Pettyfer, cough) great actors in it. I'm looking forward to the sequel (both book and movie).--
Rating: 4 stars Ik ben het dus volledig eens met deze recensie ik heb van begin tot einde van deze film genoten en zoals ze hier zeggen vind ik ook dat de gevechten heel indrukwekkend zijn om naar te kijken, echt een hele belevenis. Ik vond het zelfs raar om na de film terug in de gewone wereld te zijn. En ik kijk ook uit naar een vervolg zoals ik al eerder zei. Deze film is echt een aanrader.
