When the trailer came out, I got pretty hooked up on to it. But after my friends watched it and reading reviews, They all said it was crap and not that good.

What do you think of it? Discuss.

it was a great idea, but they screwed it up, first with a crap plot, and then with rachel bilson and the pathetic love story with a horrible, HORRIBLE ending....
its only something that you would see to pass the time, but nothing else. what a shame.

I was waiting for the Jumper for ages as I work at the Cinemas. When it came out i went and saw it, i was disappointed. But overall it wasn't that bad.

THE CHICK IS HOT LOL

I saw the trailer after Lost one night = Matthew Fox's lame-o attempt at promoting a sub-par cat & mouse, "before time runs out," thriller-type film (am I right? I mean, this is what I gathered from the trailer, feel free to correct me)

I dunno, I just think Matthew Fox fails as an actor. In everything I've seen him in he just has this bland, constipated "Houston, we have a problem" look.

Btw, I should mention, if I was a guy, I probably would go just to see Rachel Bilson (she's hot from a girl's perspective too lol), but even she probably couldn't carry this movie.

... And if the "love story" mentioned is between her and Fox, then LOL.:rofl:
Because he just has to be the most boring lover. Seriously. I mean what would I know, but don't you just get that vibe?? Anyone?!?

Shame, the story did have minor potential.

Well, it's probably a "cheap thrill" dvd I'll see someime next year when all my picks are rented out.

:)

It started of alright but i have to agree with the majority in this post that it ended to soon.

What happened to the other jumper? does anyone know or was i just not paying attention in the end?

A bit more attitude from the leading female actor would have been great!

Still better than heartbreak kid anyday!

i dont think so, coz it ended with him going away with his girlfriend. it ended really suddenly, coz he found his mum.

i was disappointed when i realised his mum wasnt a jumper, starting families across the world and spreading on her genetic abilities.

that would have been hot.

I liked it. I don't think it'd be as good on anything other than a huge movie screen but it was nice to see a movie that wasn't centralised on the relationship for once. It was sort of just slotted in nicely so the movie has a pretty girl who can play bait.

if you looked as the camera panned out, he wasnt that far below the edge of the cliff. a bit of rock climbing and a walk to the nearest tourist bus stop (afaik it was the grand canyon) and he'd be high and dry.

that's pretty much how all action movies with a female love interest work.
if the main character is a woman, then the bait becomes her kids.

Yeah but it wasn't the basis of the storyline.

Yes it was. She was the reason he discovered his 'talent'. She was the reason he came back home. She was the bait for the baddies and she was the only thing he had going for him at the end.

Without her and her god-awful acting, the movie would have simply been a string of events with no constant.
