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.

So you think all the success STAR WARS received in 1977 was fake up until 2005?

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.

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.

It was in a newpaper. But then again, it was written back in 2002, when he was making "Signs", so maybe he changed his mind since then. That or he just realized it was the one movie of his that could be the most profitable as a sequel, especially with the superhero movie craze we're having now.

1. I know. 2. From what I read, he hated it and how depressing it was and how it ended in this grey area.

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.

I was just thinking of a title that would be most fitting to in define my hatred of Hollywood. And it wasn't until after I finished my profile that I realized, "oops, that's the name of a movie!".

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".

I'll answer that for you: MICHAEL BAY! He forgot to remove the plot holes? No, he didn't care! He got to film this explosions and Megan Fox bending over and whatever else gets him hot and bothered and then went to spend the undeserving millions he was paid to "film" that piece of s***.

I'm sorry, you're "glad" they are making a sequel to a BAD movie?
 
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.
