watched 'jumper' recently with 2 of my current classmates in jc. wasn't rlly good, i have to say. although the effects were superb and HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN [ah; he is quite gd looking, i presume] is inside, the storyline actually isn't very good. i actually doubt it's even worth the 3 stars Life! gave it.

you see - the story is [SIMPLY PUT] about a guy who can teleport. [you might think that X-Men/Heroes is better as there are more super SPUPERHEROES than this movie and you are PROBABLY RIGHT] the story starts when he is 15 and he narrates about his first 'jump'. [HAVE NO IDEA WHY THEY CALLED IT 'JUMPER' WHEN HE DOESN'T EVEN JUMP AT ALL!!!] then it just FF to present life and what he can do with his ability. and one day, a NSA [think it stands for National Science Authority or SMTH] agent, played by Samuel L Jackson with his cool commanding voice [hahaha - am so glad he doesn't do anymore lousier movies like SNAKE ON A PLANE], comes to find him and wants to exterminate him.

why do i use the word 'exterminate'? cause the way he uses his tools to capture the JUMPER kid seems to suggest he is some sort of robot. [robot referring to the JUMPER kid.] =P

anyways, that is pretty much what the story is about; add in lots of CGI and throw in 2 sidekicks: 1 is a Brit who also has the ability to 'jump' and another is JUMPER kid's girlfriend

>>> VOILA! you have an action movie.

or so the director thought. =/

WHY IT'S LOUSY:

1. DUNNO WHO DIES AND WHO DOESN'T [ZOMG.]

not like there's gonna be a sequel, considering how the storyline is SO WEAK. what i meant is that the fate of some characters in the movie is unknown. ESPECIALLY the Brit, whom i thought was actually quite important, since he appeared in almost a third of the screentime and that he had MUCH dialogue with JUMPER kid. [reason why i keep calling him that is because i forgot what is his actual name. alternatively, i could use his onscreen nick which is 'RICE BOWL'. =P ]

FYI [and mini-spoiler], the Brit is left hanging and entangled amidst electric wires. [-.-"]

2. girlfriend is a painful distraction.

don't know why she is actually there - PERHAPS TO ADD TO THE SCREENTIME, I GUESS. it's abit boring sometimes when it's only him talking to her and some cheesy [+ corny] lines between them. it's not like i have anythng against rachel bilson but YAH.

3. which leads me to my 3rd pt - BAD MUSIC.

CMON, YOU PLAY THE FRAY'S "LOOK AFTER YOU" WHEN THEY ARE MAKING OUT? [ew yikes yucks it sucks] THAT IS SERIOUSLY WRONG CHOICE OF SONG, WRONG TIMING AND TOTALLY WRONG. IT MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL.

4. story ends a little funnily [and is quite FUNNY, if you ask me.]

he starts off narrating and that goes on for about, maybe a quarter of the movie. then it's just dialogue ACTION dialogue MORE ACTION dialogue EFFECTS dialogue ACTION + EFFECTS and continue.

5. max thierot plays jUMPER kid when he was, WELL, a kid. thought that was pretty important but they ended up putting his name WAYY far behind hayden's name. i know there are a few big-wigs in this movie, but it makes no sense to put his name THAT FAR behind. after 5 mins, if i'm not wrong.

okayy, this is not rlly a gd pt.

>>> GOOD PT: occasional good jokes + nice scenery and tourist attractions [KUDOS FOR FEATURING THE COLOSSEUM IN ROME] + great performance by the Brit. =D

right. go watch it if you haven't, although the movie is ending soon. so a MUCH BETTER IDEA would be to catch smth controversial or smth with a better storyline. i think i'm just waiting for Narnia 2 to be out and perhaps to watch Step Up 2 as well.
