Re: Jumpers

Um.. I think you're all forgetting that Rachel Bilson is in this movie. She might not be the hot for some of you guys... but for us straight guys, she's kinda stinkin' hot.

She's definitely hot.

That tells you just how awful I think this movie will be, if I still don't want to see it.

Re: Jumpers

anyone see it? It really takes the sequel open ending to a new lazy level. When the credits started rolling, my first reaction was WTF, that's it?

Re: Jumpers

Rachel Bilson owns my soul.

That said, I won't see this movie because of her.

She was awesome in The Last Kiss until her character went psycho.

As hot as she is though, I'm with you and won't being watching this.

Re: Jumpers

Great movie! Saw it today, and I must say, there are definitely sequels in the works.

Its left open for a lot of things, story is well written, and a lot of questions unanswered. Overall, all the acting was great, and the effects were impressive.

Samuel L. Jackson, a bad guy! Nice! He was a tad bit too ruthless but he did his role.

Great movie overall though! It won't disappoint anyone.

Probably because very few people are going in with high expectations, anyway.

Re: Jumpers

Saw it yesterday with my kids, it was ok. My kids liked it a lot.

I did not like Hayden Christensen as the lead guy too much. He has this evil look to him that made him seem too much like the bad guy.

It was pretty good and anyone that watched it I'm sure will be entertained.

Re: Jumpers

I don't understand why Hayden Christiansen is allowed to act, and no, I will not be seeing this.

Agreed on both accounts.

Re: Jumpers

Man this movie is getting nailed in just about every review i have seen. Nobody has really anything good to say about it by any reviewer that i have seen (not that that means its any good/bad).

Re: Jumpers

I saw this Friday and it was a good/bad thing. The storyline was somewhat jumbled but overall I enjoyed myself, mostly because of the very good special effects. I too agree with those who think Hayden Christiansen seems like a bad guy who should be playing evil roles, not a hero role. Samuel L. Jackson came across as the "good guy" when it's obvious the story was written for him to be bad (because of what he does in one scene specifically) and that just makes the whole movie odd when it's miscast so that bad is good and good is bad.

Overall for those who haven't seen it i'd highly recommend just waiting for it on video. It's a good movie to watch IMO but not one worth $20 at the movies (when you count your ticket price and some popcorn).

Re: Jumpers

Hayden Christensen is the worst actor ever. Even his voiceovers are terrible.

Re: Jumpers

Finally saw the movie last Friday, the promise and content was good, but thats about it. Really the movie scenes were too "Jumpy" (no pun intended). I mean i understand the that main character has the ability to jump, however theres no reason for so many of the scenes to be so out of place.

I remember reading some back story on the move and the viral ads and sites for the movie. The promise behind the movie is pretty good. Sadly never in the movie do they even give a reason why their hunting the jumpers; we only got a "Only God should have the ability to be everywhere at once."

Reading the viral site, it mentioned that the reason the jumpers are being hunted is because every time they jump, they leave a tear in space and eventually, that tear can cause a massive imbalance on the time and space structure causing chaos on the earth. Yet never in the movie did they mention that. The movie has promise, but instead of doing it justice, the wanted a quick cash in with lots of jumpy scenes and action.

Anyway, with the way it ended, it just screams sequel. However maybe this time they'll try to build the story. We weren't even told why these certain people have this ability.

that's why it's a horrible movie. It can have the best intended story, but when you film it in a way that the whole movie is basically a trailer for the next one, then people get bored.

The movie did nothing at all but take up a few hours for nothing but a sequel ending. Horrible.
