Jumper jumps to victory at the beginning to end up being blindfolded in the middle of nowhere. In short conclusion, Jumper jumps to get early start when you should know early starts make movies look bad.

Jumper is by far one of the worst movies i've ever seen, the story is crap, and the characters are unlikable (but what did you expect when the main character is the guy who ruined Star Wars), it's ultimately a really unenjoyable movie.

''Jumper'' sets a very interesting premise and gives interest to public with its somewhat original story, but all this is spoiled by its extremely tiny script and cheesy acting by all of its cast (unfortunately, Samuel L. Jackson too).

Handicap lourd au démarrage, Jumper est réalisé par ce crevard de Doug Liman, ce crétin qui surdécoupe chaque scène d'action en très petites lamelles d'un tiers de seconde comme dans une réclame publicitaire pour ados : mal de crâne assuré.Handicap lourd au démarrage, Jumper est réalisé par ce crevard de Doug Liman, ce crétin qui surdécoupe chaque scène d'action en très petites lamelles d'un tiers de seconde comme dans une réclame publicitaire pour ados : mal de crâne assuré. Autre souci très sévère également : la présence permanente d'Hayden Christensen, le branlo de la prélogie Starre Warzes, jeune acteur complètement naze qui devrait se limiter aux pubs pour gel coiffant.

On ne sait pas trop ce que vient faire Samuel L. Jackson dans cette galère mais un vieux, faut que ça mange. Les cheveux teints en blanc pour faire bien méchant, il joue par conséquent un méchaaant empêcheur de se téléporter en rond. Et ce n'est pas tout : une petite pétasse fait la petite amie du branquignole, une brune aussi écervelée qu'une blonde avec la vulgarité en plus (cadeau bonus).

Comme si cela ne suffisait pas, le scénario gribouillé sur les restes d'un rouleau de pet-cul a raison un peu trop vite de notre patience et tolérance à la stupidité galopante de cette imbécillité qui cumule à la fois le grotesque et le ridicule.… Expand

Conceito no minimo intrigante, com um elenco bonitinho e um ou outro famoso. Isso já era o suficiente para me divertir. Mas hoje, tendo uma visão completamente diferente de cinema como arte, o que acho desse longa?

Desde o principio, eu já sabia que se tratava de um blockbuster, então mesmo gostando bastante da obra, minhas expectativas não era altas. Mas isso não significa que o filme tem de ser vazio e ruim em tudo que faz, né?!

A premissa do filme é muito convidativa, pois lida com uma "habilidade" que qualquer pessoa iria querer, mas o desenvolvimento a partir disso é muito ruim. Primeiro temos os personagens, que se agarram a arquétipos e se esforçam muito para não sair deles. O roteiro insiste em chicles e não para um segundo para desenvolver nem se quer o protagonista, não de forma efetiva. É como se os roteiristas tivessem medo de quitarmos durante o filme, por isso ele tenta forçar um clima onde sempre está acontecendo na tela, enquanto o background da trama é jogado no lixo. Temos diversas perguntas em mente, 95% delas não são respondidas e o filme não tem medo de fazer um furo atrás do outro, com contradições até mesmo no código de moral do antagonista. A personagem feminina é uma das mais mal escritas que tive o desprazer de acompanhar. O roteiro usa dela na cara dura pra motivar atitudes burras por parte do protagonista. O pior é que tudo que tudo que acontece no filme vem a partir de conveniências e condutas incompreensíveis, desde o assalto no banco a "saltar" em público, pra qualquer um ver. Tá me dizendo mesmo que o protagonista nunca se questionou sobre outros Jumpers ou "puts, acho melhor não fazer isso em publico"?

As cenas de ação eram muito boas - na minha imaginação, mas só nela mesmo. A câmera é tremida e a cinematografia é confusa. É muito difícil entender o que está acontecendo quando tudo que você pode ver são planos fechados e atores fazendo expressões de raiva, surpresa e dançando. A falta de conteúdo no filme é tamanha que chega um momento que é necessário exibicionismo gratuito [na cena do carro teleportando no meio da cidade] só para satisfazer o desejo de espectadores burros - é assim que os roteiristas nos enxergam.

Enfim, como conclusão, acho que a melhor coisa a se fazer é deixar uns filmes no passado mesmo.

It saddened me to read the reviews of a couple people who could actually speak intelligently, yet posted a review of a 10 for this garbage. So you mean to tell me this is as good as all the best movies out there???

this movie had no plot, terrible acting, incredibly boring dialogue, and just cruddy cinematography. However, I give it a one because of Samuel L. Jackson's "This shit I don't need" look in the end.

Christensen is just a horrible actor, I don't know why he is still chosen to star in movies. He disapointed many with his Starwars performance. He just seems like he has no personality, lifeless, and probably limp.

Yes, the visuals and effects were undeniably appealing. I can't say the same thing about the plot and acting. The story keeps...sorry for the pun...jumping around and doesn't lead to anywhere. The antagonists never mentioned HOW the jumpers are harmful. They only state that it's because the jumpers will abuse their power. Finally, I would give the acting a D. Rachel Bilson, no matter how adorable she is, should probably stick to sitcoms. It was irritating to see her ask "what?!" in every scene she appeared. Hayden and Jamie did seem to enjoy their roles. Perhaps that did keep the movie somewhat alive. If you're all for action, you may enjoy this movie.… Expand

It might win a technical award for special effects, but the critics panned this movie with good reason. A promising premise is wasted with inane dialogue and an absurd, illogical plot. To the film's credit, the effects are thrilling. The cast, however, is not. Christenen, as our hero David Rice, must have dug deep into the vault to muster yet another astoundingly dull, stiff performance. Bilson, who seems out of place on the big-screen, appears perpetually bewildered as Christensen's love interest. Samuel L. Jackson, in what sadly has become a familiar schtick, trades character for caricature. Jumper is not for the discerning film go-er. In fact, if you don't fit into its targeted audience demographic, you should avoid it altogether. Naturally, the guys I went with all loved it, as did the mostly male audience. Most of us women walked out believing we'd been robbed of a few brain cells.… Expand

For Jumper I thought the same thing, but with a small big difference, is the whole movie to be poor! Aside from a few funny sequence say, this film is really bad! The basic idea could not have been handled worse than that!
