Jumper Reviews
Not much seems to be at stake.
| Original Score: D | Sep 21, 2022
I'm still not sure how writers of the calibre of David S. Goyer (Batman Begins), Jim Uhls (Fight Club) and Simon Kinberg (Mr and Mrs Smith) have made such a mess.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Apr 21, 2022
Frustration over how easily the end product could have been tweaked for the better threatens to negate any positives.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Nov 28, 2020
A disastrously written script. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 3, 2020
A film that is so unintentionally bad that only Jamie Bell, as a renegade jumper, and the always impressive Samuel L. Jackson manage to survive with their dignity intact.
| Original Score: 1.5/4.0 | Sep 13, 2020
In the movie Jumper, it is almost as if the filmmakers made a conscious decision to keep their protagonist from applying his talent to the greater good.

Jumper can't make the leap from cool concept to good movie.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 14, 2018
Jumper is a movie with no special powers. Despite its slick and sleek approach to extraordinary events, it remains quite ordinary and remarkably nondescript.
| Feb 3, 2018
A movie that has a tremendous premise and awesome special effects that are ultimately hindered by a script that prevents its characters from every fully taking off.

Light entertainment is all about playing to an audience's fantasy. There have been quite a few well-crafted and entertaining films that have started the same way and gotten away with it, out of sheer creativity. Jumper is not one of those films.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Mar 29, 2011
A better filmmaker would have given the material some kind of vertiginous rhythm, yet Liman just plods humorlessly, flavorlessly.
| Aug 27, 2009
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.
| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Feb 10, 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.
