Nice posting of both trailers, Ninja! It sure looks like Mace Windu is back to get Anakin Skywalker for slicing of his hands, especially when Roland says "Everything has consequences!" Haha... Anyway, both trailers look cool and somehow teleportation power always seems to be one of the many attention-getting power that Hollywood had created so far. The power to go anywhere sure is tempting...
Watched the trailer before I Am Legend, and I must say the first 10 seconds WOWed me... yet as the trailer unveiled I can't help but think it'll be another crashboombang movie with loads of effects and lengzhais with crap storyline...
Hopefully I'm wrong, but chances are it might be another Convenant.
got a bad feeling bout this one, since Hayden Christensen, with his (wooden)acting...
If you have watched Shattered Glass and Life as a House, you would know that Hayden is a fine fine actor. The stilted acting in the prequels is all Lucas' fault.
Who cares, I just want to look at Rachel Bilson. Losing RM 6 is the least on my mind when I watch it tomorrow.
too bad rachel bilson kurang menyerlah in this movie .
anyway just back watching peloncat . just as my expectations predicts that the movie is just average . the cgi is just nothing to proud of . somewhere u can see david rice repetitively teleport to egypt a couple of times and somewhere on the beach and checynya . no teleportation to the mount everest . the cgi of teleportation is just average . there was a scene of the car being teleport . i think i was hoping for the highlight of the car i think . but its just disappointment cause the scene was just a showoff .
samuel jackson acting in this movie is a bit limited . they should add 2 main enemy boss or whatever to strengthen the movie imo . only jackson is not enough to p4wn the jumpers . the action is a bit limited well i think the 2nd jumper imo should be older and wiser and not some british . and they should

just stop promoting things in the movie . like marvel ultimate bla bla . . though u guys can watch a bit of family guy in the movie
Just watched it today... Not bad for a movie, quite good also.. & is not some junk movie like those previous, which u could puke on it. But not too satisfy with the ending although is ok
1 question wonder if anyone still remembers there's a song played while rice & millie together.. i think it was at the early or middle of the movie 1..
can anyone recall the song? i searched over google for it but only managed to find dis http://www.soundtrack.net/albums/database/?id=4787 all also performed by orchestra 1 =( the song im looking for should be sang by rock band 1 i think help me plss , da song is so nice.

I watched Jumper on the 13th night. I have to say, story line wise I'd give 6/10. Its kinda cliche and everything is too predictable. Not to mention that Canadian guy act just like how he did for Anakin Skywalker "
But as a VFX student, I have to say... the VFX is AWESOME. I don't know how many of you guys ever thought about how they execute the effects but I can tell you its not easy. Many shots were done repeatedly and also lots of 3D motion tracking... gosh, its really really revolutionary for the VFX aspect, I'd give an 11/10..... really impressive
The jumping part is very cool... wouldnt mind to watch again for the action... But the story is just a lil middle stuck... no beginning no ending... XD
If they are doing trilogy... then this would be a great movie... eagerly waiting...

my experience in the theater sucks today...
as usual, ah beng with the loud handphones ringing for at least 5 times during the show and he answered it as if no one is around, talk Foochow loudly.....
i guess this guy, his mom never teaches him the public manner.
and furthermore, some old grey hair apek fell asleep and the whole place can hear he snores...... when do this ppl learn the ethics in society?
too bad for you. But lucky for me since im watching it in weekday morning.. the whole cinema only got around 20+ people, which seat there quitely for the movie
i got a bit dizzy from the endless "jumping", and you know what i din get the slightest motion sickness from watching Cloverfield at all.... yea i agree with you all, its a normal pop-corn movie, giving it a 6/10, Hayden's (wooden)acting still hasnt improved at all, that irish guy with his wisecracks surpasses him easily... Oh yea another note though, when they're in japan driving the Merc, did you guys notice the driver seat is on the left hand side... wierd....

Official Trailer
damn! its Hayden! i was like who the heck the guys is (was thinking it was the Supernatural guy) the posters in Cinemas - suspense betul sampai lead actor pun tak reti sapa
I found it pretty decent, not epic, but a good/decent flick and definately not a crap movie like some of the opinions here. It's an introductory movie. We should (hopefully) see the sequel 2-3 years from now.
What i can say about Jumper tis movie is: the story is so so onli, but the effect is great... The main character aka Hayden Christensen, his acting was not as good as in Star Wars...
one thing i dont understand about jumper though, when he paladins come to get him, why not just jump to another country or some other place super far away, easier right@>@
yup easier. i tot they already tried it, ..but once kena electric shock, cannot concentrate to go that far.
remember got 1 jumper been killed by the paladin? its super far away to me..
Just watched it just now... Quite nice... Storyline quite simple... Effect and his gf .....

I thought his mom is Jumper too but in the end only know his mom is a Paladin.. No wonder his mom try to protect him for many years...
better put spoiler...
btw, I don't think like that I thinking: "No wonder why Roland ask 'who protecting you these year' when they first meet"
Added on February 18, 2008, 10:57 pmanyway, I also have watch this movie today, and I think it is quite nice didn't disappoint me with the great trailer

Thats y I said his mom try to protect him for many years... I'm curious y he ask that too... Ending only know his mom try to protect him coz she is a Paladin...
btw do u guys think this story too short? Izzit cut already? Yesterday watched at Times Square, the show start at 2.40pm and finish at 5 sharp...
was expecting more from this movie. but then, it wasnt really very bad. but indeed, the storyline was kinda rushy. great job for the special effect btw. 6.5/10 from me.

I watch at KLCC show start on 1:30pm, and end around 3:00pm...... and I agree that the story is too short...
It may please the female audience to have a handsome lady-killer inside the show the like of Darth Vader, and the male audience with the beautiful babe. Deep down, this movie lacks substance , deprives of depth, simplistic with erronous storyline and silly conclusion. The plasticity of the lead actor astounds me.
The movie sucked, and it's the most recent B grade movie I have seen in last few months.

wah Pelompat ni nice lah. Though the sex scenes can easily be removed as they serve no purpose but to tell the audience that Mangkuk Nasi is not a homosexual
