Alex Pettyfer, who recently showed his diva attitude during an interview with VMan magazine, saying that Los Angeles, California was an “insidious pool where nearly everyone lives in fear. Geographically it’s fantastic… but socially it’s disgusting,” among other things, stars in “I Am Number 4″ as the character “4.” We haven’t read the book the movie was based on, so maybe that’s why we were a bit confused while watching the movie.

We thought at first that Alex’s character understood his predicament, with the voice over letting us know that he had come from another planet and was being hunted by evil aliens (who were seriously frightening looking, by the way) because he was one of 9 special individuals trained to protect his people, but later on he seemed shocked that he had powers…Also, it seemed a bit odd to us that someone who was next in the pecking order to be killed by the bad guys was so intent on going to high school rather than staying safe at home and keeping as low a profile in public as possible.

But we could get past all that.

However, it was when Alex’s character starting running through the woods that we started wondering what we were watching! The scenes were so reminiscent of the original “Twilight” film that we were ready for Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Jacob (Taylor Lautner) to jump out from behind a tree and join in on the fun. Thankfully there was only one scene like that.

But on to the rest of the movie…

“I Am Number Four” is an interesting concept and the actors each fit their respective roles well. The storyline was a bit difficult to follow at times, and seemed to move a bit slow, but all in all it was a movie that we hope to watch again in the future and catch things that we hadn’t seen the first time around.

    First of all, since when does giving an opinion, especially one that many people share, count as having a diva attitude? And what does it have to do with whether this is a good movie or not?

    Secondly, do you really think that running in the woods was invented by Twilight? Especially since the scene in question takes up about 20 seconds of film time.

    Thirdly, if you had trouble following this story, you need to have your ADD meds checked.
