... View MoreOne of my favorite movies that was just different from all the others that came out at the time.It's never too late to make the next one! It would hold bring attention to this one too.
... View MoreReally enjoyed this movie, wish it had happened a few year later as I think it might have had more traction. Would be pretty cool if they made a sequel!
... View MoreThis movie gets to the point quick. And by quick I mean real quick. Not even ten minutes into the movie, the main character not only accepted that he somehow has a mystical talent to jump around earth as if it was a talent for writing Christmas poems, he also used it to rob a bank, collect dozens of currencies and get laid all over the globe. And thereby reveals one of the weaknesses of "Jumper", that it is a very impatient movie.All throughout the film I couldn't help thinking that this would probably make for a fantastic book, but the pressure to press all the action into 90 minutes didn't do it a favor. I liked some of the ideas presented quite much, the two forces fighting each other for ages without usual people noticing for example. Nothing completely new but surely enjoyable. But some other aspects just can't keep up with the pasting, like the everlasting love he left behind for around 8 years, then wins back after one occasion in the bar after which he risks everything for her, after bragging about all the girls he had in the meantime.With a bit more time and a more earnest attitude, this could have been a great title, as it is it is a decent blockbuster but not more.
... View MoreIf only the substance of Jumper was as amazing as its style. The action scenes and special effects are simply incredible, but the story is not so marvelous. And every time I heard someone say "ONLY GOD SHOULD HAVE THIS POWER", it almost gave me the giggles. Soooo over the top. The acting is...well, it's OK. I don't think Hayden Christensen is ever going to be on anyone's Oscar shortlist, but this kind of role actually suits him fairly well. Rachel Bilson doesn't really have to do anything but look pretty and ask lots of annoying questions, so there's not much that I can say about her role. Sam Jackson was pretty cool as an ass kicking Paladin, but his role was pretty one-dimensional as well.Anyway, Jumper is still a very fun movie. The world of the Jumpers and the Paladins has enormous potential, maybe next time the acting and story will measure up to the visual effects.
