From what I have read movie critics never like anything and if I listened to them I would have missed a lot of great movies. To me Jumper was kind of like the first chapter in what is coming in the future. After seeing the movie we understand David’s background and we know what motivates him…we know a lot of things, but there are lot of things left open and I think that is was obvious that many questions were unanswered and they will be answered in a future movie (I hope).
Why I Liked Jumper
Well, it was different, really different. It wasn’t the the same old thing. You start to really love one character, Hayden/David and really hate another one, Samual Jackson/Roland. You can’t really blame Samual for being so angry, Hayden did cut his arm off in their last movie together ;-).
I have made it no secret that I am a die hard Star Wars fan. I was wondering how Hayden Christensen would come across, not being Anakin, and I think he was very successful in creating a completely different character. I think his character was exciting, attractive and I could see that the character could go in a lot of really cool directions in the future. I just liked it. I consider myself a Hayden Christensen fan, but I have not seen every movie has been in. I will say this, if they make 10 Jumpers I will see them all. Little Hayden has grown up and he looks great.
Samual Jackson’s character was a jerk! I hated him, so obviously he did a good job…as he always does. Rachel was sweet, cute, innocent and sexy.
Will you love the movie? I don’t know, but I thought it was exciting and a good movie. It was a great date movie (my husband and went on a date…no kids…no phones, just us). It was not boring and you do not know what is coming next. FYI men, all women want to be looked at the way Hayden looks at Rachel Bison/Milly.
My husband kept looking at me in shock, I had to admit Anakin, oops, I mean Hayden is hot…I would have a crush, but I am happily married 🙂 That doesn’t mean I would ever turn down meeting him or getting an autograph or anything 🙂 It would kind of being like meeting Elvis for me, the Star Wars geek! 🙂
Don’t listen to the critics- go see it. I think a new superhero could be emerging and I think the future will be interesting!
(If anyone knows how tall Hayden really is let me know. He towers over people, but the net says he is 6’1. He appears taller.)
