We were taking the kids to the cinema, but as Hannah’s only 12 all the decent films were out. Anyway, this one didn’t look too bad, and with Samuel L. Jackson sure you can’t go wrong. Surprisingly less shit than an awful lot of the films I’ve seen of late. All in all not an a bad film, it had me on the edge of my seat a few times, and the kids loved it. I would say the ending was shit, but there wasn’t really an ending, just the set-up for the start of the sequel I suppose, but I won;t go see Jumper 2

Oh good lord, that’s who it was. We assumed he was a foreign because his accent seemed to be all over the place. Irish, Scottish, Cockney, Generic Northern, it was all in there.
Anyway, I have some comments to add to this thread, so here goes…
I am totally sick of lazy film makers using a particular technique, namely, If a person glances back at somebody else in an American classroom this means that before the end of the film they will definitely be having sex. I can only assume this is some sort of unwritten rule, but it’s just so lazy and cliched that it pisses me off every time.
Secondly, I’m pretty sure that when you are an extra in a film the one thing that they tell you is most important is “don’t look at the camera”. The bit in the bar after the Jumper guy gets the crap knocked out of him there’s this one girl to his right who steals the entire scene. She can’t keep still and blend into the background, she’s waving, bouncing about and glancing regularly right into the camera. Because of this I declare her to be the winner of the prestigious ‘Stupid Bitch Of The Film Award’. She can be found 8 minutes into this bit:

I give Jumper: Gaping Wormhole/10March 8, 2008 at 6:10 pm #65905tessParticipantHehe, I didn’t notice her during the film, she’s certainly enjoying herself lol
March 10, 2008 at 1:43 am #65906XDCsPUNKerParticipantdozy bint obviously spent a lot of that shoot looking into camera. You can see she’s about to do it again when they cut away
May 30, 2008 at 11:56 am #65907xdc magickerParticipantlol
i didnt notice her – will have to watch again
i rather enjoyed this.. possibly because i have watched right string of crap films lately but never the less i will give it a 7.5/10
i thought haydon was a hell of a lot better than his star wars days.. in fact its a real shame that we cant go back and edit star wars to include him as a non-winging little shit.
i was sure the other jumper had a geordie accent but still never figured it twas Billy
ending a little weak but over all very good
May 31, 2008 at 10:39 am #65908XDCiNSANEParticipantBE stood out like a mile, shit actor, should stick to dancing!

Oh! and you think that will have a good ending do you? 😛
May 31, 2008 at 7:59 pm #65910XDCiNSANEParticipantCant be any worse than the shit around, plus it stars Edward Norton who wrote and directed it too, cant say I’ve seen a shit film with him in it!
Marvel FTW!
June 3, 2008 at 12:04 am #65911XDCJuDgE-MenTaLParticipantI take it you haven’t seen “The Italian Job” remake then.
July 7, 2008 at 8:04 am #65912XDCNeonSamuraiParticipantFirstly the bad stuff:
1) If you’ve got an ability to leap through rips in the fabric of the universe and appear somewhere else, give yourself a better name than a ‘Jumper’. On occasion I wear a jumper, so I wouldn’t think of naming myself after clothing that I wear. It’d be like Pharty calling himself ‘Peephole Bra’. Other (better names) than Jumper I can think of are Phaser, Warper and Whizzway Rider.
2) If you’re being pursued by mysterious and evil men, jump somewhere like Slough, rather than Rome. Who in their right mind would chase you to Slough? Rome would be a nice break, but Slough?
3) Don’t buy girls crap presents like snow globes, unless you want to risk drowning.
Now, the good stuff:
1) Samuel Jackson gives Anniken Skywalker a pretty good kicking, which is better than anything the Empire could manage.
2) Whoever wrote the film clearly knew what he’d do if he could jump anywhere (namely steal loads of money).
3) Great driving scene with a Mercedes leaping through Tokyo.
4) Mental chase scene that takes place ‘everywhere’.
5) Sharon Osbourne does NOT appear in this movie.
7/10
July 7, 2008 at 12:50 pm #65913xdc the docParticipantUtterly shit acting, plot makes no sense and the ending blew chunks. 2/10. (It only gets 2/10 because there is a scene involving surfing in the film.)
