A better filmmaker would have given the material some kind of vertiginous rhythm, yet Liman just plods humorlessly, flavorlessly.

Ignore the previews. Unless there was a drastic change of storyline in the editing room at the last minute, the final cut is a lot more interesting than originally advertised.
Feb 10, 2009
Jumper is a popcorn movie, but without salt or butter. Too many of the kernels remain unpopped. It's like the Saturday matinees of yore. But by the time you've crossed the lobby after seeing Jumper, you've forgotten it.
Feb 2, 2009
An elegantly idiotic sci-fi thriller that initially feels as though it might have derived from Philip K Dick -- but lacks the master's lysergic idiosyncracy.
Oct 18, 2008
Jumper is almost in too much of a hurry at times and logic and cohesion suffer as a consequence.

Director Liman is a major talent. He deserves better material to mold.

The movie isn't terrible and I certainly liked the superhero aspect of it, but the romance doesn't work and it has a rushed, sloppy feel throughout.
Jul 22, 2008
Sam relishes doing super-mean and ready to rumble, while Hayden jaunts around the planet sightseeing, bank robbing and hitting on women.
Jun 25, 2008
"Jumper" is a plodding, action-less mess, in which we'd only be interested if we could comprehend what the heck was going on.
Jun 11, 2008
The worst sci-fi concept since The Adventures of Pluto Nash placed Eddie Murphy on the moon.
Jun 7, 2008
If Jumper too often feels like a special-effects demo reel in search of a story, at least the eye candy is pretty darn sweet. [Blu-Ray]
Jun 6, 2008
The film is just very sloppy and seemed like it was just pieced together really quickly to be released as fast as possible.
Jun 1, 2008
As a travelogue, it makes a compelling case for Rome, Egypt and Tokyo as vacation destinations. As a story, it is stillborn.
May 29, 2008
By mid way, you wish the jumper were you. Teleporting yourself to the outer lobby would be far enough.
