October 8, 2009could have been good, would like a sequel (without the piece of wood in lead role)

July 27, 2009Considering how much fun the main idea of this film is and how exciting the trailer looked, the final result does feel a bit like a let down. The characters don't have much depth to offer, the dialoges are mediocre at best and the script is full of plot holes. That being said, th...( read more)

July 11, 2009Hayden discovers he can teleport, so he robs a bank and runs away from his abusive father. Soon he meets Samuel who is out to catch and kill 'jumpers'. The special effects are great and the plot fast paced. Good cast. Teleporting is my fave superpower.

July 7, 2009Finally got around to seeing this one, and I don't really know why I bothered. It's completely incomprehensible and mind- numbingly stupid. I'd be able to forgive those fatal flaws if the film delivered some exciting, fun, or original action sequence, but some how JUMPER fails ev...( read more)

May 9, 2009Not completely horrible, but I keep thinking the writer ripped off Alfred Bester's book "The Stars My Destination" Not the storyline mind you but the whole jumping , teleporting thing.

October 31, 2009In jumper there is potential for some epic action sequences that dragged on for ages (being a good thing in this case) but they never up it to the next level. You can dismiss this as a pure action film but even with that it doesnt do very well. Some scenes are stupid and unrealis...( read more)

October 27, 2009Jumper should have stayed off the screens and jumped off a 24 story building. This one was blatantly bland, boring and benign and that was the movie's good points. A ludricous plot that was presented in the same manner gave me the sleep ez's that would kill a horse. Teleport me u...( read more)

Anthony Lane, The New Yorker

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
Jumper, based on the novel by Steven Gould, re-defines -- downward -- the notion of dreadful. It does so by dispensing with everything a movie needs for a shot at being merely awful. full review
February 14, 2008
David Edelstein, New York Magazine
I can't see people lining up for a sequel -- unless Samuel Jackson's hair grows out and marches on Tokyo. full review

Armond White, The New York Press
Liman's movie candy is philistine, banal and lacks surrealist thrill. His sci-fi, quasi-political allegory is like an X-Men or Hulk narrative told from the ass end. full review
February 14, 2008
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
It took three screenwriters to turn Steven Gould's novel into an unholy mess. full review
February 14, 2008
Claudia Puig, USA Today
Short on imagination and anchored by a wan hero, Jumper is a flight of fancy that never fully takes off. full review
February 14, 2008
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
It's positioned as the first installment of a trilogy and, if Christensen follows through on the character's promise of greater charisma and depth, I'll willingly line up for the next two. full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
It's a paradox, but science fiction has to make sense: It can rest on the world's most outlandish premise, but only if its internal logic holds up to scrutiny. And Jumper can't make that leap. full review
February 11, 2008
Kyle Smith, KyleSmithOnline.com
A movie about wormholes made from a script riddled with more holes than Hillary Clinton's campaign strategy. full review

November 19, 2008while big stars played in this film it was intolerable and fast pace, it was so confusing the main characters, I also believed to hyped I was so disappointed, it seemed like left over star wars movie actors, I was also unable to sit through more then 30 minutes of this film I deffinatly do not like Rachel Bilson's acting she sucked and her voice was more then annoying the lines was not delivered clearly. I give it a huge thumbs down. Was very dispappointed in this film.

September 7, 2008(2008 Director: Doug Limon) I like it...went with my son...it kept a face, continually moving, shifting. Good acting and even better theme! We are Hayden Christensen fans (he looks like my nephews!)
