Re: Jumper

I really didn't like it. I expected more from the previews...but the preview tod the whole story pretty much. Add a couple of

paladins

to create a PLOT, but that's it. Questions were left unanswered. Why 5 years old? How'd his mom disappear? How come there's only one guy fighting them off?

Plus, I doubt there were really plans for a sequal. It was moreso, "Let's get this done by Valentine's so we can rake in more sales."

Visually, it was great. The ending DID suck.

I wouldn't recommend it. Chik flick with moar actions. 3/10

5 seemed to be a recurring trend because Griffin's first Jump was at 5 too. His mom disappeared because she either stayed and kill him because he was a Jumper, or she ran away. There isn't only 1 guy fighting them off. There were a BUNCH of paladins in the fight scene and I'm sure there are more since his mom was one.

Any more questions?

PS-The only similarity between the movie and the book was that the kid could teleport. Everything else in the story was original (or that's what my friend told me anyway).

I didn't really enjoy it myself.

Re: Jumper

Let's just say that I watched half of it and then moved on to something else.

Re: Jumper

I laughed when the guy left the black guy in the cave.

Shouldn't the Brit have died when he was thrown into the powerlines?

Re: Jumper

It was nothing spectacular but quite entertaining. Nothing really deep or anything, just good, solid, entertaining action.

Re: Jumper

... worst movie ever. Okay maybe not worst movie but not worthy of having to pay money to watch. The action was okay i'll admit that, but the plot was a mess. It started off at a pretty good pace and was looking good but after the first little bit it started to just get a little silly. The acting was so-so and I think Rachel Bilson would have played a better role if she just never opened her mouth (and i'm pretty sure the male audience wasn't really listening to what she said anyways).

Also, the thing that really bothered me was that the paladins were horrible at their job. If it was me, instead of restraining them with electricity so that i could stab them i think i'd probably just shoot them. I mean the device that shot the electric thing definitely didn't shoot the cables as fast as a gun could shoot bullets and it stilled managed to hit them pretty good. (yaya i know it was cooler to have the electric things and it probably was a part of the novel it was adapted from but it still bothered me)
