I am number four

Ironman without his steel

Cast: 

Alex Pettyfer, Callan McAuliffe, Dianna Agron, Jake Abel, Teresa Palmer, Timothy Olyphant, Timothy Olyphant

Story:

Teenager John, the guy frm another planet,
is on the run frm enemies determined to destroy him.
The enemies must kill all the 6 children in numerical orders (???)
before they manifest their super-powers to overcome them.

While on planet earth, John, the number four guy on the hit-list,
falls in love with a girl,
thus decides to end his fugitive life
and face a fight wif his ruthless enemies.

How I feel:

Conspicuously this film aims to hit on both teenagers & adults.
School life love+ superpowers.

Laments the often banal stories of superheros.
The story is quite trite~

Starts off with introduction of the superhero John,
enrolls in school, meets a lover,
have to learn to self-control his magnificent 'super powers',
gather the rest to be formidable against dark forces...

I wonder if the next one will emerge after a bite from a cockroach.

Even John's superpower- the light+laser beam frm his palms
quite a copy frm Ironman.

Then again, find the rest to combine powers.
Another X-man?

The alien enemy gang,
rather than impressive,
fails both in terms of looks & powers.
Visibly more like disfigured thugs wif laser guns.

Evil needs to be more dark, I reckoned, for hero-fans.
Perhaps coming in their 2nd sequel?

My Review:

TWO OUT OF FIVE

Can watch, at least it doesn't veers off frm normalcy.
Can understand the story, can see teenagers fall in love,
which at times brings me back to college life.

However, I do prefer to wait for already prestige superheros.
