In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Really enjoyed this movie, wish it had happened a few year later as I think it might have had more traction. Would be pretty cool if they made a sequel!

A teenager with teleportation abilities suddenly finds himself in the middle of an ancient war between those like him and their sworn annihilators. Jumper is a 2008 Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi film starring Hayden Christensen, Samuel L. Jackson, Jamie Bell, Michael Rooker, Diane Lane, Rachel Bilson, Max Thieriot, AnnaSophia Robb and Kristen Stewart. The movie although flawed does have a nice story and it's interesting enough to keep you entertained plus Christensen is not as "bad" as many people think he is actually decent as the main hero and Bell is also really good plus Jackson does a great job as the villain although sometimes he did kinda get annoying with how smart and ahead he was with each plan that David did. The film did needed a bit more action and less arguing as well plus certain characters such as David's dad totally disappear after a while and we did needed a bit more of his backstory with his mother and probably his step sister (played by Stewart). It's not the worst Doug Liman film (that award goes to The Wall) but it's not the best one either (The Bourne Identity, Edge of Tomorrow). (7.8/10)

Directed by Doug Liman, this film contains an interesting storyline that is ruined by bad direction, editing and clichés. The film contains many beautiful locations, but because of the bad editing the sight we get of them is barely a glimpse of their beauty, as we repetitively just get quick shots, making far too fast a pace for it's own good as well. The characters feel unrealistic, they mostly seem to be cliché teenagers with no spark of originality, and the antagonist doesn't have a good, logical drive to kill the jumpers. I think the main reason why I wasn't fond of this film is because of it's style, though. The typical, average blockbuster that has no sense to calm down.I didn't like it, but I can see the audience that would like this. An action film, one that makes you smell the scent of popcorn around, and one to have a chuckle at with your friends. The theme song is brilliant, one you may find yourself humming to yourself at work on a rainy day. But I think one thing in this film we can all cringe on is that it plays out like a teen soap opera, which I cringed at heaps.Overall, the film has likable tings that some may get a kick out of, but in a whole, it's disappointing. 5.5/10, not terrible, but not good.

I always appreciate superhero movies that aren't made by DC and Marvel. While DC and Marvel just tend to take turns on stealing ideas from each other and using same plot lines over and over, other superhero movies tend to bring some creativity and originality to the table, for example, Kick-Ass. To my disappointment, Jumper doesn't bring much originality the table. Sure, the viewpoint is different, since it's not tragic story about a boy who loses everything and starts to protect the city / neighbourhood / few blocks, etcetera. But in terms of the plot, Jumper is just like any other action movie. The structure of the story, the events, the characters, dialogue and relationships... it all has been experienced before, and it will be experienced again, and there are better writers to do this. Jumper just seems to be another mindless action hodgepodge.Even if the movie is good, it should be longer. The explanation for so many important plot points was half-assed. We know nothing except what David knows - and he doesn't know much. Griffin sure explained him shortly what he needed to know. That's realistic though, would people in that kind of situation have the time to sit down and go through everything? Even if it was realistic, it still isn't very friendly to the viewers.Jumper is a decent action movie, but it gets tiring after the first view. It is boring, unoriginal and too fast. There had to be better action films, and thankfully there are. What should you watch instead of Jumper? Kingsman and Wanted are a good start.
