I liked the movie. It's great to see an actor doing a role that you normally would not picture him doing it. I respect the fact that people can see the number everywhere, I think when we start looking for something, we start seeing everywhere. It's like when you want to buy a new desk, all of the sudden you are walking outside and you see amazing desks at window shoppings, you think it's because of you but maybe it's because the school year is about to start.

I don't know why people didn't like the movie (the majority), I think it's because people thought or would like to see the movie more focused on the number that the life of the main character.

When he say all the times that bad things happen in the world, that matches 23, I would like to see an obsession in that, maybe he goes online and find forums about it, with all these events.

But no, he just says it. and then the movie is just about how the book, is equal to his life. There's a point in the movie, that the number is not important anymore, that matters is the fact that his past life is like in the book.

The movie had the potential of being out-of-this-world if they focus more on the number (BECAUSE IT'S THE NAME OF THE MOVIE) and less on his life.
