 <-- Look, ma! It's a jumper.

Quite the opposite, in fact. And they didn't really convince me that the "bad guys" were in the wrong, either. |

Jared, I didn't say JUMPER was awesome. I just mentioned it was the best movie I've watched so far (I'm going through a list of movies I haven't seen yet). After sitting through MEET THE SPARTANS and AVP2, JUMPER was a movie I could enjoy.

Fair enough. It's not in the best of company with those two. At least Jumper had some nice effects. |
| Posted By : bleacheddecay - 5/10/2008 11:51 PM | I liked the story concept but too often they got so caught up in what they could do. Things got so busy on screen I couldn't keep up. It wasn't a fav of mine.
