Looks cool but I think it might end up being weak.

I'm still undecided if I want to see it in the movies or just wait until it comes out on DVD.

I have seen Hayden Christensen in a couple other things. He is not that bad of an actor.

As far as talent goes, The scripts George Lucas used in Ep 1-3 were enough to make the best actors in the world look bad on screen.

That's a dilemma. Is the power of the Samuel L. enough to offset the Hayden?

fix'd that for you ;)

and yet on the OTHER hand, you have the ridiculously hot rachel bilson, which for me tips the scale to seeing this movie.

This is true. While Hayden could indeed be lame, Star Wars would not be good supporting evidence. Even Liam Neeson sounded stupid in Ep 1.

If I saw Jumper though, it would be for Jackson.

I've seen a couple of previews and it looks just average, though it's nice to see Rachel Bilson in another movie. :D

I can't imagine going to the theatre for it, but if it gets some decent word of mouth I may check it out.

I'm half tempted to see it, and half tempted to download it. Will prolly wait for a screener, but you never know

They would give themselves 3%....



I find their reviews are actually pretty accurate especially if you balance out the critical reviews with the user reviews ... Jumpers gets 24% from the critics, but 55% from users which means theres a chance it could be watchable at least.

Lou from Chuck :heart:

I'm tempted to see Jumpers as it looks interesting but maybe a little cheesy. There's nothing else good this weekend and I usually enjoy seeing movies on Friday after work. So I guess it depends on when it will be showing.

Been seeing commercials for that for a long time. Sure looks interesting although I don't really have any idea what it's about...

i saw it last night.

it was pretty decent imo, pretty much what i expected. nothing spectacular but it was not a bad movie either.

if you can go into it and suspend disbelief for 90 minutes you probably won't be surprised.

the main actor dude isn't the best but the chick he's with is pretty damn hot. and it was a short movie but was well paced, didn't see too short.

The book was awesome . . . hopefully they didn't change too much.

I love the author's blog.:

Please don?t suck. Please don?t suck. Please don?t suck.

Every 250 movies, Jackson makes a good one. Since he's made only 200 since I've last seen him in one, I'll hold out til he makes another 50.
