Is it me or was that just another "Heroes" episode?????:confused:

Actually, not a bad or great movie....at lease Dakota Fanning was sooooo annoying and whiney like she was in "War of the Worlds".

6.5 0f 10. Rented it "HD On Demand".

    I fell asleep. One of the worst movies I've seen in a very long time.

    I thought it was ambitious. A fertile story ground with lots of possibility. I'd like to see more. Execution was spotty in explaining this somewhat complex plot, but I enjoyed it. The director did alot with a limited budget and I found the new "grownup" DF charming. Sure it's a rental, but I might que it up again sometime. They set it up for sequels...it's doubtful though.

    Jumper had a plot. It was a decent adaption of a pretty good book. Hayden Christiansen killed it with his dud acting.

    Got to agree about Hayden C. The guy's career is over!

    How about a N. Cage/Hayden C. blockbuster 'acting' fest?

    But the takes above are making me hesitate from renting this? And it's not like that would cost much on DVD.....? Guess I'll toss a coin.

    I just watched it.

    Not bad I guess. But I like DF so I'm partial to any of her movies...

    It did remind a LOT of Hero's..


    I'd give it a 7/10

    Yeah 2 friends of mine hated it, but I watched it last night and found it interesting. Jumper was 10 times better. I was hoping they were going to make a 2nd jumper!

    Ya, i've never been long winded, sorry. I think I will just sit back and enjoy the show... as usual.

    But seriously... Push had some intense sound. I was very impressed. I haven't watched a good show on it for ages. Nothing like my HT to drown the blues ;)
