Is a good movie. The plot was well made. The actors were good. Jumping to other area in the planet was a thing to see.

What Parents Need to Know
About Jumper
Parents need to know that this sci-fi action adventure with Star Wars' Hayden Christensen features lots of violence that appears to have little effect on victims. The teleportation process causes abrupt ruptures in space and time and sometimes rams jumpers into walls or the ground. Fights show bodies slamming, falling, and crashing through walls, as well as gunfire and electric zapping. There are also explosions, a car chase, and a combat zone in the background. One scene suggests that sex has taken place (a woman's naked back is visible in bed); another shows a couple taking off their shirts (her bra stays on) and kissing. Language includes "f--k," "s--t," and "hell."

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about whether this movie can be considered a "superhero" story. What makes a character a superhero? What do most movies about superheroes have in common? Does this film follow that trend? Do you think of it more as an action movie or a sci-fi movie? Why?

A disappointment
This movie could have been really good. Really. But, um, it wasn't. I can only describe the so-called hero as lame, and the storyline had far too many holes for my liking. Hayden Christensen delivered a stunningly inept preformance as David Rice, and the other actors were almost as bad. The movie had potential, but sadly, it fell rather short of its mark.

"Very unlikable" (SPOILER)
The main character is unlikable. He runs away from home, steals from banks at first just to get by. But then he does it so many times that he is swimming in cash in a luxury apartment. The Villain, who hunts our "hero," comes off as a noble character for the first 30 minutes. Until he brutally kills another jumper in front of the audience. The ending is terrible. But it really depends on your expectations. I went in thinking it would be awesome.

Okay movie
This movie is far from my favorite movie of all time but it wasn't horrible. It was a good mix of romance and violence, but the movie seemed to fly by, as though it was very short. I guess it was pretty short because it's only and hour and 28 minutes but it seemed even shorter that that. I'd say that this movie is good for kids 13+. Hope my review is helpful -i love dogs

A simple story with a simple plot. I never really cared about any of the characters except Millie. I thought the special effects were pretty cool. Mild PG-13 with some language and role model issues (actions w/o real consequences).

Disappointed
After reading the main CS review on this site, I thought this movie would be OK for the older kids after a "fast forward" preview. I was alomost right. I was not prepared for the amount of profanity, especially the number of "Jesus Christs" and the f-bomb. The CS review makes no mention of them.

A So-So Movie With Lots of Potential
This was on okay movie. It was nothing special, but it had lots of potential. I was disappointed with CommonSense because there was an f-word in this movie that was VERY obvious. The main jumper keeps following another jumper and the other jumper tells him to, "F*** off". There is one sex scene, but nothing is really shown. You see the girl take off the boys shirt and the girl takes her clothes off, but her underwear and bra stays on. There are several "h***'s" and "s***'s", in one case there is an Italian sign that says not to come in. One character says, "It says come in." The other responds, "Really? I thought it said bulls****." Pause for sexual and violent content.

So What Have We Learned Here?
Absolutely nothing! The storyline of Jumper is almost non-existent. The main character has no development, good or bad throughout the movie. He steals continuously, and barely shows even a moments remorse for his actions. The special effects are incredible, and thrilling to watch, but they really don't make up for a genuine lack of plot in this sci-fi tale. Don't waste yours or your child's time with this one.
