A brilliant film that helped define a genre

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

When I first saw Jumper, almost 10 years ago, I found it incredible, I grew up with a sense of nostalgia for the movie even though I had only seen it once, but reviewing now, I really think that it could be so much better.Don't get me wrong, my feeling about it hasn't changed, I still have a great affection for the production, but some things can not be said.I think it's a unanimity, the concept behind the movie is incredible, by far the best thing in the whole story, opening a thousand and one possibilities. And until that part of the teleport is well resolved, with good action scenes using the powers, with very good and convincing effects. That part, in fact, isn't the problem.The problem certainly is the script, at the end of the story (very short by the way) several tips become loose, and even key concepts that are played during the film go unexplained. What happened to the character of Jamie Bell? What is the real fight between Jumpers and Paladins?Not to mention the "mother factor" in the middle of it all, I definitely did not buy it, the fact that she was from this crazy cult who wants to kill people with powers, and still in the end say "I'll give you a few minutes advantage, son" .. . F#CK! NO!Anyway, it's a cool movie, it's not big (80 minutes) and it certainly provides good fun. I think it's worth seeing, it has he's problems, it could have been a lot better, but it's still good after all.At least I think, or may be is just the nostalgia talking ¯ \ _ (ツ) _ / ¯

The Story of a lonely and abused child who gains an extreme power from an accident, learn how to teleport any where he can think of.This power gave him freedom from that world that left him clueless about what is right and what is wrong. The end seemed more like a beginning to me that he was able finally to come to grips with his purpose.I think they picked the right people for the parts, it was certainly believable to me and seemed more like a preview of what is yet to come, perhaps if there is a sequel to come, more of the why's will shine through and will give a clearer definition, but this movie as is, certainly was not what many would expect but it did make a point of what happens when you just go out there and live without a care.Overall, Clever creative use of the teleportation powers. Good actions scenes and visual effects. The romance is a simplistic one between characters who aren't quite mature, but the story doesn't pretend that its characters are anything but immature, so that's fine. Story wastes no time with exposition at all, doesn't bother explaining everything in detail and instead prefers to thrust you right into the action at all times. I actually liked this minimalistic story telling style. Yes, it doesn't even bother detailing where the "jumping" power even comes from or explaining much back story behind the villains; but the main character doesn't even know these things - he's just blindly thrust into it all, like we are - so it's fine if we, the audience, doesn't get a clear explanation either.

Jumper is a film with no redeeming qualities to speak of. It's boring, mediocre paced and the story is utterly horrendous. What slightly saves it is the idea, but the execution to explore the idea felt like it was pulled of be a third grader. The film had no direction, cliché riddled and explosively repulsive. Poor acting on top of this makes the film a living hell to watch. A nightmare film pulled off and no, I don't mean a Nightmare On Elm Street, I mean terrible. The film is so below average that it takes a massive amount of energy to pull through the entire film. Sometimes doing nothing is better than doing something and that rule applies to this grotesque movie.
