I watched "Jumper" last night.  It was an entertaining SiFi Flick, not great but not bad.  The movie was full of special effects, some of which were pretty good.  I would rate the movie at 6.5 out of a possible 10 stars.  It is worth seeing and certainly better than the reality tv shows that all of the networks are currently airing!

I thought about the same, I'd probably rate it a 7.5 ... mainly because it looked fantastic on Blu-Ray.

My understanding is that they have plans for a trilogy of Jumper films. After seeing the critics crap on it, I wasn't sure I'd be all that crazy about it, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. It didn't make a lot of money domestically, but when I saw how much it made internationally (according to boxofficemojo.com), I was more confident that they would continue with the franchise. I'm not sure why this film was 3-4 times more popular abroad than it was here, but whatever it takes to get the next movie made, I'm in!

haha, this movie was sooooo bad I was actually laughing out loud during much of it.  Sam Jackson is not a very convincing bad guy, and that hair!  It was a cheezy movie that tried to take itself too seriously.

Nice to see you 'round these parts, Tyson!

I was disappointed with the movie, mostly because it deviated from the original book in some really silly ways. The book wasn't great, but I thought it was far better than the movie. Why is that almost always the case?

Thanks Rob.  I've missed this place

Because you have the good fortune of being literate.

And while there are plenty of people who can read, the majority don't read much beyond terse articles.

I thought both he and the hair were pretty convincing in Pulp Fiction.

I liked the movie myself and especially Samual Jackson. The man is a total badass when he plays "bad guy" parts. The ending was as good an example of "hard love" as I've ever seen.

3 out of 5 stars.

Cheers,
Robin
