Jumper

Průměrné akční sci-fi, které má několik plusů - Jamie Bella, docela slušný závěr, hvězdičku z O.C., pasáž z Říma. A těch minusů bude asi možná stejný počet - slabý scénář, Hayden Christensen, vlasy S. Jacksona, dějová linka s matkou, nedostatek akce. Suma sumárům čistý průměr, no, viděl jsem i horší filmy podobného typu. (11.01.2012)

Una película completamente vacía y tonta. Es como si llevara una hora y media mirando un acuario bien arreglado sin peces. La idea no llega ni a la mitad, y la pretendida frialdad empieza y acaba con el corte de pelo de Samuel L. Jackson. No apto para mayores de 18 años. (13.02.2008)

At fifteen, I would have jumped for joy at a film like this all over the world, but five years later, I mourn the screenwriting dementia that turned a divine book into a shallow fairy tale for little kids. It lacks fatefulness, urgency, proper characters, dynamism, action, and, above all, style. Liman searches for it in vain for eighty minutes and fails to do so even in the final CGI ridiculousness. It's too bad he made this crap - any dunce working in advertising could have created the same thing. (05.04.2008)

The script was probably written according to the manual "How to write an 80-minute plot without breaking a sweat," and Hayden's a one-dimensional wooden actor. A very weak result for Doug Liman, short and rather dull silly stuff for MTV kids out of school. Thanks at least for Jamie Bell, who brought some adrenaline and dynamism to the story and compared to the bland Christensen looks like a rhododendron next to a dead cactus. (12.06.2008)

"...and so I jumped for the first time...." But what came out of it? For adventure-seeking teenagers, it was definitely a delightful experience and a fulfilled dream, but for others, it was a slightly hesitant breather with forever young Hayden, adorable Rachel Bilson, and reliable Jackson. And unfortunately, also with unfinished, or rather just lightly touched upon mythology (see the story of the Paladin hunter, which ends almost before it begins). I admit that I enjoyed it because the weak half an hour and a half flies by very quickly, and with a bunch of money, Liman managed to make it really very visible, but judging from the hesitant box office results, I wasn't the only one who wasn't very bothered that there won't be a continuation.
