ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
nzswanny Directed by Doug Liman, this film contains an interesting storyline that is ruined by bad direction, editing and clichés. The film contains many beautiful locations, but because of the bad editing the sight we get of them is barely a glimpse of their beauty, as we repetitively just get quick shots, making far too fast a pace for it's own good as well. The characters feel unrealistic, they mostly seem to be cliché teenagers with no spark of originality, and the antagonist doesn't have a good, logical drive to kill the jumpers. I think the main reason why I wasn't fond of this film is because of it's style, though. The typical, average blockbuster that has no sense to calm down.I didn't like it, but I can see the audience that would like this. An action film, one that makes you smell the scent of popcorn around, and one to have a chuckle at with your friends. The theme song is brilliant, one you may find yourself humming to yourself at work on a rainy day. But I think one thing in this film we can all cringe on is that it plays out like a teen soap opera, which I cringed at heaps.Overall, the film has likable tings that some may get a kick out of, but in a whole, it's disappointing. 5.5/10, not terrible, but not good.
ThrillKillZ The plot goes much like this; Boy discovers he has the power to teleport himself. Boy learns to control his powers. Boy lives idyllic life of leisure and travel until he discovers that people are chasing him, and that he is caught up in a war between people who can teleport, and those who hunt them. Unfortunately, "Jumper" isn't much more than a geography tour. The story is well laid out, and the main character behaves in a believable way. if you've ever imagined having the power of teleportation, you will buy into this premise big time. Sadly, the movie fails to build on that premise, and action sequences aside is quite boring. My friend fell asleep! There is no chemistry whatsoever between David and Milly, and their romantic relationship is unrealistic.
Gordon-11 This film tells the story of a young man who finds out that he has the power of teleporting himself to another place. He abuses the gift, and causes disastrous consequences."Jumper" has a simple and predictable plot. It shows a young man who does not know when to quit his questionable lifestyle, hence bringing undue attention to himself and his closest friends. The special effects are good, and I think it is cool too see the film shot in so many different countries. It features an engaging and entertaining plot, though it would be even more fun to face more jumpers in the film. It is an entertaining film, and I enjoyed spending time watching it.
Michael Radny Jumper is a film with no redeeming qualities to speak of. It's boring, mediocre paced and the story is utterly horrendous. What slightly saves it is the idea, but the execution to explore the idea felt like it was pulled of be a third grader. The film had no direction, cliché riddled and explosively repulsive. Poor acting on top of this makes the film a living hell to watch. A nightmare film pulled off and no, I don't mean a Nightmare On Elm Street, I mean terrible. The film is so below average that it takes a massive amount of energy to pull through the entire film. Sometimes doing nothing is better than doing something and that rule applies to this grotesque movie.
