Lots of action, little else. You get bland characters, little development for them or the story, and little explanation. The settings are great, the effects are great, but if they have any sequels they better be more substantial.

The concept of this movie was awesome. It was to short to really get into what could have been a very interesting story. The effects were cool.

As thin as a strand of hair, this sci-fi does some fun but isn't much different than most. I prefer Wanted, which is much deeper in virtually every way. But, if Hayden C would have acted like he did here, Ep. 3 would have been much better.

This film could have been so much better if people had cared about it, and put more work and thought into it, instead of pumping it out for a quick buck. The Story revolved around Bilson's character 'Millie' way too much. With poor performances from her, Christensen, and Lane, The action and concept ideas are the only thing that save this from being completely awful. Jackson's plays an awesome Bad-Ass character (as always) but Christensen's David Rice is stupid, emotional, dry, and makes too many stupid choices. Let's just hope for better from Liman, Goyer, and Jumper 2 in the future.

Jumper was a great movie especially the part where Hayden Christensen tranports around the Globe. I wish I had that capability, so I can travel the world for free. But on the other note, Rachel BIlson was my least favorite to play the role of damsel in distress. They could have casted other young stars prettier hehehe.. But over all it was a nice adventure movie , fun and original.

Jumper is the story of teleporters and those who hunt them. The story's idea is all right, the special effects are pretty good as well. I didn't think the acting was bad, it was the clunky dialogue that they were forced to say which at times detracted from the movie. Lots of cliche and predictable lines are all over the place. However, if you're going to Jumper to see great acting and outstanding dialogue, then you should probably research your movies a little bit better. The end is pretty open-ended in the hopes of a sequel and franchise, and I have to admit, if a sequel is made, I'd probably go see it.
