The result is a blurry patchwork of images that suggests that Something Bad is Happening. Excuse my sarcasm, but the effect is so un-cinematic as to invite ridicule

Reviews for Jumper
Top Critic 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.

Sam relishes doing super-mean and ready to rumble, while Hayden jaunts around the planet sightseeing, bank robbing and hitting on women.

"Jumper" is a plodding, action-less mess, in which we'd only be interested if we could comprehend what the heck was going on.
06/11/08
The worst sci-fi concept since The Adventures of Pluto Nash placed Eddie Murphy on the moon.

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]

The film is just very sloppy and seemed like it was just pieced together really quickly to be released as fast as possible.

As a travelogue, it makes a compelling case for Rome, Egypt and Tokyo as vacation destinations. As a story, it is stillborn.

By mid way, you wish the jumper were you. Teleporting yourself to the outer lobby would be far enough.

For anyone over legal drinking age, Hayden Christensen dressed in a trendy jacket teleporting a building(!) from one side of the country to the other is just bloody stupid.

There will be many questions that linger and will continue to linger once the credits roll, but I had a blast just the same...

Uma pena que, ao se preocupar excessivamente com a idéia de gerar uma nova e lucrativa série, o filme se esqueça de si mesmo.
03/28/08
The backdrop -- a flimsy fantasy version of a real life, politically messy tragedy -- reminds you yet again of the utter inconsequence of Jumper.
03/21/08
Highlander for a new generation: a cheesy, globetrotting film certain to be savaged by most critics, but also a mindlessly entertaining yarn likely to lead to a string of sequels and/or TV adaptations.
03/16/08
A complicated mess that doesn't offer audiences a single challenge beyond the very real challenge of getting through it.
03/09/08
Pared-down with flat-footed characterizations, tacked on scenic shots of worldly venues and a choppy script that isn't disciplined enough to tap into our escapist imaginations, Jumper is a toothless travelogue that treks up the wrong charted route.
03/02/08
It's easy to see why audiences have embraced this critically lambasted film: Its premise is irresistible.
02/29/08
Jumper is the worst kind of movie, a concept charged with stellar potential and a plumbless creative reservoir that instead squanders its promise on mediocrity and outright banality.
