[Mr Eagle]

[Bender571]

Yeah it sucks when actress get their break at a young age. Although she got pretty close in Last Kiss

I enjoyed the book and am looking forward to the movie.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

I reckon it will be great, good concept. Not a big fan of hayden christiansen and Samuel L jackson will do anything these days but special effects look good and 100 million dollar budget doesn't hurt either

 

[Jeffers]

Seeing it tonight. can't wait.

 

[Tim the Toolman]

Paper reviews said they stuffed up with the special effects.

Anyone see it can confirm please?

 

[Mr Eagle]

It's running at 14% on the Tomatometer. Not a good sign.

Scored a free ticket, and saw it yesterday.

If i paid for it i'd want my money back. Really really awful.

Hayden Christenson is a terrible actor, and comes off like a spoilt American tourist.

Samuel L wears a baffling white wig that looks like a tea cozy, and says some cliche Samuel L like lines.

The love interest is eye candy only and is basically an unlikeable bimbo.

The main dude seems to Jump from place to place most of the time simply because it looks sort of cool, and going from tourist icon to tourist icon somewhat covers for the lack of story.

The story, there is none. For some reason one group of guys is chasing another group of guys around trying to kill them. The film-makers obviously thought explaining why they did this wasn't that important, so you never find out their motivations. Also you probably want to know how these jumpers gain the ability to teleport around, but again, don't expect to find out.

Absolute stinker 2/5, barely

...and the presence of half-man/half-tree Hayden Christensen...

I loved this one

 

[Jafa]

Thanks guys - will wait for DVD.

 

[Dont be a lemon]

The premise does interest me but these reviews make it sound rather crummy

 

[Mancey]

"Rather crummy" is the understatement of the year.

Its like calling a red hot poker up the clacker "rather uncomfortable"

Its really bad.

 

[Big Blow Hard]

$100 million dollars to make? Is that right. Damn

I sense one of the years first flops. Is it showing in the USA yet? How has it done in terms of box office?

85 million US to make apparently

Made 6.7mil on opening day

when watching the shorts for it the premise and storyline really seemed kinda cool

but I knew immediately that I wasn't seeing it for 1 reason alone.

Hayden Christenson

he is SOOOO bad and there's no way I'm paying money to watch him in a leading role.

for a movie on such a big budget you'd think they could have cast a better lead actor.

who needs talented actors when you have special effects

Margaret Pomeranz and David Stratton both gave it half a star: http://www.abc.net.au/atthemovies/txt/s2144763.htm

 

[SunKing]

Haha yeah David and Margaret really ripped into it. Margaret was in hysterics while David tore it a new one!

 

[likka]

The missus took nephews & nieces to see it on the weekend... reckons it is the worst movie she has ever seen.

Half a star is pure charity in her books.

 

[Jeffers]

Saw it on Friday night. Man one of the most pathetic movies i have ever seen. So pathetic that im ashamed i even started this thread!
