Critics Consensus

Featuring uninvolving characters and loose narrative, Jumper is an erratic action pic with little coherence and lackluster special effects.

Guardian

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.

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.

Frustration over how easily the end product could have been tweaked for the better threatens to negate any positives.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes para fazer o filme ser bom.

I would say about this movie that is absolutely masterpiece. Everybody wants to be Jumper in real life. This movie gives goosebumps to everyone. Teleportation is almost real thing which I would like to have in this movie....

Jumper had some promise. Ultimately it suffers, in my mind, a similar crappy storyline as Glass, a secret society that hunts down individuals with special abilities who this society deems “monsters” or “freaks” or any version of the word different. Griffin in this movie is a total creeper by the way, it’s like “Dude just approach the guy your watching and tell him who you are.” Darth Vader has the ability to “jump” (akak teleport) all over the world, which gains the attention of the secret society’s leader, Nick Fury. They interact a few times, with Darth Vader occasionally teleporting random people halfway across the planet as “punishment” for interfering with his life, it’s a real d*ck move. Also, when Vader leaves Millie behind, how does he not think “Oh, they’ll probably go after her,” I mean come on…. The movie is alright, but not terribly entertaining. I just don’t know how a normal person survives a bus being dropped on them, Nick Fury be damned. The jumping around the world at the end was cool. I didn’t expect Bella from Twilight to show up.

Jumper is overall entertaining despite its plot flaws.It is a good movie for some people and doesn't deserve the hate but the idea of making it a franchise may not be great decision.
