Holy crap guys. It was not even that action-packed, and it had plot-holes the height of the freaking CN Tower and the width of Japan. Why is she so nonchalant about seeing her thought-dead best friend after eight years? Her slim evidence of his survival is a snow globe! Why was that bully guy not, I dunno SHOCKED that this guy was back from the dead? Why was the mom never found until the end? We have idiotic, unnecessary end (that wasn't in the book, and is merely there to "hook" us into a terrible sequel.) to an idiotic, unnecessary film, a protagonist who is so [...] SELF-CENTERED you would not be able to wrench his head from the inner depths of his colon. Our protagonist is supposed to be sympathetic while stealing MILLIONS of dollars, undoubtedly bankrupting a few thousand people and ruining countless lives, because he does not kill people like Sammy J. Then, he leaves the villain, STRANDED, in the middle of freaking nowhere, trapped in a cave on a cliff, with no food or water, with no way to contact help or anything, and tells him he's LUCKY HE DID NOT FEED HIM TO SHARKS."OH THANKS DAVEY FOR LEAVING ME TO DIE SLOWLY WHILE TRYING TO PROLONG MY WRETCHED EXISTENCE BY MOST LIKELY EVENTUALLY RESORTING TO EATING AND DRINKING MY OWN WASTE, INSTEAD OF DYING QUICKLY AND SLIGHTLY LESS PAINFULLY? " Also, David acts like no human being would."So David, where did you get all this money? " A normal, reasonable person would say something like this: "I won the lottery!"or "my missing mom was rich and they declared her legally dead, and I was left a lot in her will!". Instead, we get "I'm a hugely rich banker even though I'm only 25 and apparently failed math." How can you empathize with that? How can you say," Hoho David, you're so clever!"? WHY, does she accept this argument for any amount of time? It would be like a guy telling his wife he's not fat, he's pregnant. It boggles the mind. The last nail in this already overnailed coffin is the acting. I didn't think Hayden could get any stiffer and more inhuman than in SW3, but I was proved wrong. This is not an action film. This is not the thriller of the summer. This is what the Russians placed over Peter's grave so he wouldn't arise. This is what those weird kids who dress in black and pretend to be "Vampires" worship. It. Is. Crap.

The story line was very bad and at the end "let's go somewhere hot" I thought that was a bad ending to Jumper it looked like the writer thought were a over the place. But I did love playing in jumper Hayden In the movie I did like the jumping place to place it just needed a better story line. Hayden I think it's that you live in Toronto and you are a canadian.

Well I think the story could have really been better if it had a script that made sense. It was all over the place like the main characters! Plot holes like swiss cheese!! They could have elaborated on his mom, before she left and maybe showing a peek-a-boo game or something where her son is three and first jumps and then she realises what he can do. Heh did the husband drink because his wife took off- why didn't he know who she was-What about the Scottish guy when he was little-they could have given more info on how these guys grew up -with their gifts. Also having a black guy as a religious fanatic is mocking to any Black Christians- who by the way when they are following the real message of God -do not exterminate people who are different-Religion breeds war- turn on the T"V. !! Short real history class:The crusades were NOT funded or created by REAL Christians. It was a pope who wanted to take the land in middle east to build another roman empire by force-so they went and killed everyone (all the muslims )who were in their path. This has nothing to do with God, but they misuse His name to destroy, just like the Paladins in this movie... Hope the book for story on jumpers was better...

It was no Matrix but it had it's moments. The story left lots to be desired and explained but maybe a sequel will clear some things up. Calling the bad guys Paladins does Have Gun Will Travel a disservice. Hayden Christensen is as wooden as ever but the special effects make up for his lack of acting ability.

Plot holes a regular person could jump through. Some parts didn't really make a lot of sense.

It just went nowhere... but if you're going to see it, see it in the theater cause on a small screen it would be even worse.

It's pretty sexy but any large budget movie (large enough for S. L. Jackson)can pay good looking people. So is it entertaining? Yeah it's entertaining but don't let this encourage you to go see it. Jumper's simple plot and a shameless, without motivation, character (Samuel L Jackson)are unacceptable. With millions of dollars to burn one would hope to see some talent in any dimension of the film but unfortunately everything sub par. It is sometimes unintentionally funny and puzzling since the use of his power was inconsistent for example he could jump anywhere in the world but for theatrical effect he'd jump 3 feet away. Just weak and a teen fest.

Needed more background to set up the plot. Why didn't he jump between age 5 and 16?

It was good but it sucked because at the most interesting fight scene the movie stop but we could still hear it... which made me not get some of the ending.

I'm 14 and I saw this movie w/ my boyfriend. We met up in windsor (he lives in windsor) and he suggested we see it. I thought it was pretty cool how after he fell in the lake , he ended up in a library and it showed him ten years (or w/) later, it didnt really explain. Towards the middle of the movie it explained the beginning so it made you want to stay and watch to see how it all unraveled. Great mooviee.

I thought that this movie was actually pretty good. My friend's boyfriend wanted to go see it (a group of us always go) so everyone was like "Kay, whatever." So I was expecting it not to be very good but I was surprised to how much I enjoyed watching it. The plot was interesting and creative. Definitely nothing I've seen before. Acting was great, characters played their part very well. I really liked it. The only thing I think could have been better was the ending. Now I'm wondering if there's gonna be a sequel. ;p

Please please do not see this movie. Not only is the story line brutal, there are so many things that make no sence i.e. a kid dissappears for about 10 years after he fell in a frozen lake and when he returns nobody is excited he is back, no emotion and the bully who through the glass ball onto the lake did not even flinch when the so called star of the show returns. If you have no common sense and have a mind of a 6 year old then go s |
