Title: First (and Last) Movie Based on the Hit Books
Product review: After reading Stephen King's thumbs-up review of this film, I thought I would take a chance--even though critics panned it. I really hope that King saw a different cut of the film than the one released in theaters, because "Jumper" is a mess. It feels like the set-up for a movie or television series, rather than an actual movie in its own right. It introduces ideas, characters, and its own mythology, and just when things are beginning to take off...it ends. It could be a cool pilot for a tv show, but that's not enough of a reason to recommend it as a feature film.
