I think aside from the aweful wannabe-clifhanger of the story, the transition from kid to adult is soooooo lame! Actually I went away to grab some snack and when I got back I was like, "wait! Is this a new character?" I had to replay it to know the hayden was the grown up version of the main character who literally looked just about the same age as his. Could have used an actualy 5 year old boy for the movie's premise then switch to hayden. That be more convincing! The movie is entertaining though.
This film tells the story of a young man who finds out that he has the power of teleporting himself to another place. He abuses the gift, and causes disastrous consequences."Jumper" has a simple and predictable plot. It shows a young man who does not know when to quit his questionable lifestyle, hence bringing undue attention to himself and his closest friends. The special effects are good, and I think it is cool too see the film shot in so many different countries. It features an engaging and entertaining plot, though it would be even more fun to face more jumpers in the film. It is an entertaining film, and I enjoyed spending time watching it.
I really enjoyed this film the first time I watched it and continue to every time I've watched it since. It's a fun film and for me it was very interested all the way through. It left me wanting more but contemplating if more be done also...The acting was above acceptable and the difference character came together very well. The characters clearly stumble through a necessary emotional which in the end leads you to feel some compassion. I would suggest this film to a number of my friends but not all of them because I feel a more adventure-fantasy appreciation view is needed to completely enjoy this film. In conclusion , even though all my comments are positive. I do feel like a little bit more could of been and there is a need for imaginary improvement.
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.
