Jumper

Wilkin · 02-14-2008, 12:57 AM

Good for action, mediocre for storyline.

Hayden Christensen isn't as whiny as in Star Wars.

Acceptable performance by Samuel L. Jackson.

Very loose plot, not much backstory, or even more than a couple sentences about backstory.

Good special effects.

He's more stubborn than angry

Mace Windu was more emotional.

I JUST got back from seeing it. It was really good, IMO. And, three girls sat next to me, and I got two of thier numbers. =] Oh, and one of them was really hot.

Lemme guess, the hot one is the one who's number you didn't get. :P Kidding.

Yeah I loved the movie, it was worth the $6.50 I payed for it. Then after the movie I went to sharper image and sat in the massage chairs for an hour or so.

Your balls haven't even dropped yet so that means that their boobs are still stubs. Whatever floats your boat, I guess.

Either way, tickets here are 5.50 for matinée and 9.75 for normal prices.

Going to go see Jumper today probably. Will review when I get back...blah blah blah...

**Adamaja456** · 02-17-2008, 04:10 PM

ok so i just got back from the movie.

I was impressed. The overall plot was a little different from what i thought it would be but it was good. I really enjoyed the fighting scenes between Christensen and Jackson.

The effects were also enjoyable to watch. The movie seems like it could be possibly setting up for a sequel.

SPOILERRRRRRRRR ALERTTTTTTTT

since Christensen left Jackson stranded in what looked like the Grand Canyon and he didnt actually kill him, it makes me think a sequel would be possible. Plus maybe give more background on his mother and why/how she got involved. And maybe the daughter we see at the very end.

END OF SPOILLLERRR

overall, i was glad i saw this movie in theaters. A little on the short side but great to watch.
9/10

**hoochan** · 02-17-2008, 05:32 PM

Effects were great. The Brit was hilarious. Ending was blah. Storyline didn't explain much and the progression was ok.

7/10

Litodude · 02-17-2008, 06:33 PM

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

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).

/agree

I didn't really enjoy it myself.

**sarahxjane** · 02-18-2008, 11:14 AM

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

**Go_Oilers_Go** · 02-18-2008, 02:45 PM

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?

**dore** · 02-18-2008, 06:05 PM

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