No. In the original 1977 movie, they did give some explaination as to what the Force was and so forth. However, if they went about it like "Jumper" did, every time Obi-Wan used the Force in front of Luke, and Luke asked how he was able to do that, Obi-Wan would have replied, "It's just something I can do." Not very informative now, is it? 

As for the prequels, they do not exist to me.

Here's some things I think you should consider when rating this movie: 

1. When it's clear ALL the actors just wanted a quick paycheck for their bills because they are ALL sleepwalking their way through it...it's a bad movie. 

2. When the script doesn't explain ANYTHING, it's just all cryptic, one-liners with no detail...it's a bad movie. (I doubt "Star Wars" would have been as successful as it was if they never bothered to fully explain the Force, Darth Vader, etc.). 

3. When it's supposed to be an action movie, but we can't follow the action at all...it's a bad movie. 

4. When your movie is about teleportation, but the most creative thing you do with it is have a British double-decker bus flip over in Egypt...it's a bad movie. 

5. When EVERY character is not so much a well-rounded, fleshed-out character, but is nothing more than plot devices...it's a bad movie. 
 
Need I go on?

I read it on Wikipedia.I know that's not a certain source,but it's more recent than your article.

I don't think that's the kind of things he considers when he rates his movies.

Well, a sequel to "Jumper" just further proves my hatred of Hollywood, which now makes sequels to any movie that is A) overall bad and B) only break even at the box office. As for "Unbreakable 2", the original was 10 years ago and Mister Shy admitted it was his least favorite of his movies. But I guess with the whole superhero movie craze, now would be the best time to cash in on a movie that was about a modern day/"real life" superhero.]]> Thu, 18 Feb 2010 15:56:04 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2517&PID=29307#29307 Does JUMPER Belong in the Dumper?? : Can't you edit your name?Anyway,I'll... http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2517&PID=29305#29305 Author: Vits

Yes, the irony that I picked that name, based on a bad movie that was suppose to mock Hollywood. Yes, I hate Hollywood. It has lost all creativity. Now everything is a sequel, remake, reboot, etc. They can't leave well enough alone. They are greedy and will throw anything on the screen, hoping people will mistake their s*** for ice cream and eat it up. And what's worse is that it usually works, ie. "Transformers 2".]]> Wed, 17 Feb 2010 15:21:50 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2517&PID=29286#29286 Does JUMPER Belong in the Dumper?? : Wow!I thought your name was after... http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2517&PID=29281#29281 Author: Vits

Little lesson about Hollywood, they don't like to fix plot holes, they like to pretend they don't exist. "Transformers 2" is a key example of that. And as for a sequel, Vits, all Hollywood makes nowadays are movies with two pre-planned sequels. They were going to make a sequel to this no matter how it did at the B.O. or how badly critics ripped it apart.
 
Yes and no.I'm glad for the sequel,but I wish that if they make movies with planned sequels,they leave things open,but not plot holes.Like my boy Shyamalan's UNBREAKABLE.

RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: The failure to explain the whole "teleportation" concept was just one of this film's major problems. The biggest one was that it constantly "jumped" all over the place (literally) with little or no sense of time, place or logic. I'd have to rate this one of the most confusing films I've seen this year...and one of the most boring. In a time/space continuum feet not unlike its characters' teleportation abiltities, JUMPER somehow makes 85-minutes feel longer than three-and-a-half hours! 

FOOTNOTE: I also found myself wondering throughout the film (since the movie itself barely held my interest) if all those exotic world locations (the Roman colliseum, Big Ben's clockface, etc.) were genuine, or achieved digitally. The idea of film-makers pitching the concept of allowing Hayden Christensen to sit in a lawn chair atop the head of the Egyptian sphynx (and then having to figure out how to do it without damaging a historic site) struck me as hilarious -- the only amusement the film offered...
