At Least Fun -  - This is a fun big budget special effects action movie. As far as a compelling story...well it has promised, but it is incomplete in many ways. There is a lot of story to tell. A kid whose mother long abandoned him and a father who drinks too much discovers he has this amazing ability to jump to places around the world. You have the girlfriend he wants along with a bully and it makes for an interesting story beginning. But the movie rockets past all that to get to the action. The action is good, as are the special effects. But with the Jumpers and the Paladins, I certainly would have liked a little more story or back round. This movie feels very much like a set up for further movies. I did enjoy it, I just wish things were fleshed out a bit more.
You in or out!!! -  - jumper is one those movies that you can look at forever. the way their abilities were utilized to how cool hayden christensen was this is great movie that anybody would love.
Watch it -  - I've become addicted to reading fan reviews before I see any movie. This movie had such bad reviews from fans (averaging to about 3 stars)that I didn't see it until lastnight. PLEASE WATCH THIS. I don't understand why so many people had problems with the movie because I thought it succeeded on every level; the directing was awesome, acting/actors very good, locations were amazing and the script was very well written for an action movie (usually action movies succeed in the visual arena with explosions, special effects etc. but fail in dialogue and character development. This one managed to succeed in both.) People complained because there was either too much character development/ dialogue or as one person put it 'talking points,' or that there wasn't enough of a back story. I think its obvious that the second will continue into the backstory as to the 'whys' and 'whos' of the movie. Please watch it yourself and then post your own review.
Never received the movie I ordered -  - I order and paid for the movie, I never got the movie. I did contact the seller, who said he sent out another movie,that I never got either. I then recontacted the seller who said he was going to give me my money back. I'm still waiting for my money back.
All that Potential and Still a Subpar Movie -  - ***mild spoiler***
I wanted to like Jumper, I really did, but something about it just made me shrug and think (that was a very long hr and a half). The action scenes have little bits of eye candy, but the plot's fairly terrible and the dialogue is instantly forgettable. I saw the movie all of one night ago and really the only line I can remember is something near the end where he seeks out his mother.
The main characters, David Rice and Mille, are off globe trotting after a brief barroom fight. That I can buy, or at least shrug off, but it seemed that the actor and actress had very little onscreen chemistry.
Nothing about the movie really, really annoyed me, which is why I give it a 2 star review, but nothing impressed me either.
