As preposterous action movies go, Jumper is pleasantly unpretentious and breezily entertaining. A young man named David (Hayden Christensen) discovers he has the power to teleport (or "jump") anywhere he can visualize. After using this power to steal and make a comfortable life for himself, he pursues the girl he longed for in school (Rachel Bilson, The O. C.). But as he does so, another jumper (Jamie Bell, Billy Elliot) and a pack of fanatical jumper-hunters called paladins (led by a white-haired Samuel L. Jackson) crashes into David's freewheeling life. Jumper wastes no time trying to explain how jumping works or delving into the hows and whys of the paladins; this is an alluring fantasy of power directed at a pell-mell pace by Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Go). There's a brief moment when it feels like the movie will bog down in romance and vague gestures towards character development--happily, that's the moment when Bell appears and the whole movie shifts into overdrive. You might wish that Bell and Christensen had swapped roles; Bell has a far more engaging personality, and Christensen's bland good looks might better suit a more aggressive character. Nonetheless, Jumper has oodles of dynamism and nifty visual effects to propel its comic-book storyline forward. A variety of recognizable actors in bit parts (such as Diane Lane and Kristen Stewart, Panic Room) suggest that the filmmakers are laying the groundwork for sequels. Based on a critically-acclaimed science-fiction novel by Steven Gould. --Bret Fetzer

 Good movie with lots of excitement July 24, 2008
I know some people did not like Jumper. However, I thought it was a very good movie with lots of great special effects. It also looks very, very good in Blu Ray!
 Watch the trailer July 23, 2008
This movie is following a disturbing trend in modern movies. Basically, they put everything in the trailer and there's 90 minutes of **** in the movie. I expected much more than I got. Wait for this on cable and save your money.
Exciting Special Effects, But No Real Thrill For Me July 22, 2008
Jumper is about a guy name David played by Hayden Christensen that can teleport almost anyplace on earth. He found out he had this ability really by accident, and he thinks for a while he is the only person that can teleport. David eventually starts living the good life, simply by taking what's not his and traveling the world by using his supernatural powers. The villian played by Samuel L. Jackson arrives mixing up his perfect world, and the character David soon realizes he is not the only jumper in the world. And so the story goes on with David trying to save his girlfriend played by Rachel Bilson and to get away from Samuel L. Jackson's character.
I don't really have a character in this story that I truly liked. But as for the movie as a whole, I thought it was fast paced, full of special effects, and looks like it would be a lot of fun to teleport (but not into water). In the end, I lost track with all the jumping into different places and all, but it ended with somewhat of a happy ending. So, I didn't really didn't question what happened. Samuel L. Jackson's character did not win. Hayden Christensen's character got the girl, but still lost out on someone he really wanted in his life.
I thought the movie was okay. I was a bit disappointed overall, but I thought the special effects were exciting.
Thanks.
Enjoyed Jumper July 21, 2008
Really enjoyed the dvd, especially with the cut scenes. The cut scenes really added so much to the story. Great locations.

The screen play was weak. There was very little character development in this film. The acting was very weak. The lead actor is not ready to carry a film. It was an all around stinker.
