If you have not seen it, Jumper is worth a place in your netflix que. . .

Saw 10,000 B.C. - hoped it would be better than the reviews. . . sigh


Saw The Happening - and I liked it, oddly enough. . .

lol...

"I'm different"

:roll:

Edit: Had potential, but failed to capitalize and had a laughable script.

Enjoyable if mindless summer action movie, but you have to admit that Hayden Christensen's acting talent is right up there with Keanu Reeves' typically Oscar-quality performances.

No. Jumper sucked ass. And just like with the star wars movies, they try to counter act Hayden Christiansen and his shitty acting with Samuel L. Jackson to try and make it better. Parts of the jumper was fun and I honestly was entertained most of the way through up until the end. It was so anticlimactic and quick that I honestly think somebody ran out of money and couldn't finish the movie.

I loved the special effects and sounds in Jumper. I thought it had some of the best editing and sound mixing that I've seen (and heard) in a movie in years. It's certainly not a *good* movie since the script is horrid and the plot is laughable, but it was a very enjoyable movie. I love cheesy action flicks.

Hayden Christensen is a fantastic actor. He just needs a good script to show off his talents. Watch "Shattered Glass", it's a movie based on a true story about failed journalist Steven Glass. He's great in it.

Jumper could have been cool but they didnt explain ANYTHING. Why are they able to jump? Why do the paladins want to kill them? Not enough back ground.

They are supposedly making a sequel which will explain more. Either way I thought it was worth a rental. Looked great on blu-ray.

10,000 BC was awesome. Jumper was average, but worth watching since it was an action movie.

I'm assuming you haven't seen Shattered Glass ... I'm not a Hayden Christensen fan either, but let's not get carried away with the Keanu Reeves comparisons. That's just cruel.

Just watched Jumper, it's got some nice ideas but it's terribly executed and half the plot or script seems to be missing. Hayden Christensen is terrible as always. He's the worst male actor I can think of.
