Might'z Well Jump!

I received Jumper from Netflix when it first came out on DVD in the summer of 2008...but I never watched it; after it sat for a week or so I just returned it because I was never compelled to spend the 90 minutes watching a movie that got average at best reviews.

Well I finally had the chance to watch it on HBO last night...and it was good! With a talented director like Doug Liman and the awesome David S. Goyer involved, I knew that Jumper would be good...I just knew it.

The OC's Rachel Bilson adds to a very OC overall cast in Jumper. In fact, the whole movie had a very The O.C. kind of feel...broken up in large part by the ever-present Samuel L. Jackson.

The concept of the film is simple...just how I like 'em: Some kid discovers that he can teleport, but finds out the hard way that there are people that would rather not have teleporters in their midst. A fun ride of cool action ensues.

So Jumper wasn't great...it was good. Let's put it this way: I won't wait for cable for Jumper 2...scheduled for a 2011 release...2011!...sheesh that's a ways off...might'z well JUMP!

At Least Fun

This is a fun big budget special effects action movie. As far as a compelling story...well it has promised, but it is incomplete in many ways. There is a lot of story to tell. A kid whose mother long abandoned him and a father who drinks too much discovers he has this amazing ability to jump to places around the world. You have the girlfriend he wants along with a bully and it makes for an interesting story beginning. But the movie rockets past all that to get to the action. The action is good, as are the special effects. But with the Jumpers and the Paladins, I certainly would have liked a little more story or back round. This movie feels very much like a set up for further movies. I did enjoy it, I just wish things were fleshed out a bit more.

Watch it

I've become addicted to reading fan reviews before I see any movie. This movie had such bad reviews from fans (averaging to about 3 stars)that I didn't see it until lastnight. PLEASE WATCH THIS. I don't understand why so many people had problems with the movie because I thought it succeeded on every level; the directing was awesome, acting/actors very good, locations were amazing and the script was very well written for an action movie (usually action movies succeed in the visual arena with explosions, special effects etc. but fail in dialogue and character development. This one managed to succeed in both.) People complained because there was either too much character development/ dialogue or as one person put it 'talking points,' or that there wasn't enough of a back story. I think its obvious that the second will continue into the backstory as to the 'whys' and 'whos' of the movie. Please watch it yourself and then post your own review.
