Memorial day movie review

A lazy monday, a good day for a movie.  What was popped into the dvd player I never had any intention to watch, I Am Number Four.  In watching how the beginning of the movie played out, I might have guessed that the phrase I am Number Four was John Smith's status in high school.  On the other hand it could be be his I.Q.  In retrospect John Smith should have reconsidered his life's ambitions more fully before making his descision ( and he should have read Carpe Diem).  Our oft criticized main character decides, against all good sense, that if he was going to fight off Eastern European looking Aliens, he might as well do it with his girl.  As you might suspect she was just there for moral support and extra suspense when they used her, an unarmed victim, as a leverage point.  But of course how could any other dumb movie with a main character to match be.  In the end I'll give this movie four stars out of ten, but why I give it four, you might just have to find out.
