I like to imagine that every time he stares creepily at her, he’s having a Vietnam flashback of the Star Wars movies
He jumped from Star Wars universe to Earth
@@fideaso2542 but he was a teenager
@@ibrahiman.5682 he kept jumping back and forth
@@fideaso2542 oh shit master windu. Had a nice fall?
Come on the prequels werent that bad.
The only good thing about this "movie" is that you start to imagine what it would be like to have this power.
I just want to know, is it possible to learn this power?

This movie was such a disappointment. For those not aware, this is technically an adaptation of the book Jumper by Stephen Gould. Amazing book. Fun fact, they changed so much of the original story in this movie that the author actually went and wrote another story, about Griffin's backstory, that takes place in the universe of the movie, and that's actually really good too. Sign of a great author. Great book turned into an awful movie that the author then changes back into another great book. Heads up for any interested in reading the books, the original takes place in the 90s, is somewhat darker in tone, and deals with terrorism and domestic abuse. You might want to start with the Griffin Backstory like I did, but the original book is now one of my favorites of all time.
I understand you were disappointed with the movie but did you know there was a book? It's called Jumper by Steven Gould.

This movie has the best representation of teleportation out of any movie. From the way to looks and sounds to the way the main character uses it.
Seriously. These guys should do a Night Crawler movie.
Incredible movie.

My mom loves this movie. She even bought the DVD. So our family has an in-joke about it. Whenever someone is raving about a super amazing film they enjoyed, we always sarcastically compare it to _Jumper,_ pointing out how certain elements of the film are vastly superior to whatever they're talking about.
Like, did you see Jackson's hair? So courageous. Should have swept the Oscars, but Hollywood is too corrupt to accept it.
I have fewer than 1 friend in the World. That's right. Everybody disses me for making bad videos. I think they are perfect though. Who is right? My dissers or me? Which side are you on, dear ma

All I can say is...Griffin's Jumper Punch is amazing and I rewatch that clip many times over
YES. I was going to comment on this! The effects of the wind tunnel he creates is just beautiful.
Bro... like!!! :O
"Time to send you home to mommy."
"AHHHHHHHH"!
Just watched that scene about 10x, 30 min. before I came to this review.
That part is incredible, from the cut, music, special effects, acting, etc.
(Chef's kiss)
It's the one thing I remember thinking was really cool and well executed in the movie.
i was OBSESSED with this movie in my teenage years... just cuz the concept is so cool, jamie bell is my favourite actor, and Griffin is a character i care about deeply
Yes the concept is soo interesting like in dragon ball z Goku uses his instant transmission technique it's kind of similar to that and it's amazing power to have
For real man
same
Yeah, Griffin was the highlight of this movie
Jamie Bell was amazing in this movie.
i actually really enjoyed this movie. its not a oscar worthy film or anything but like you said its a very interesting premise that makes for a nice popcorn flick. its a solid 6/10 for me. not great but not terrible either. the type of film that if im browsing through channels and i see it playing id be like "yeah why not. lets watch that"
same bruh
Bruh same bruh
Same
I rate it 7/10 bcs the nostalgia feelings i got from this movie
Bruh
Dude SAMMMME it took me sooo long to realize that the mc of jumper is Anakin skywalker and I do NOT know why... like I JUST realized it like a couple of weeks ago.
I’ve been watching this entire video and didn’t realize that until I read this comment omg
@@KingOfGaymes So... You didn't watch the video? ^^
Right! It has been some time trying to figure it out.
I remember really liking this movie as a kid
SAME!! This movie is amazing just cause of the memories it gave me.
Same
Same boat here. Watched it young and remembered it foundly, although I havent seen it since then and forgot mostly about it till this video reminded me of its existence
its a realy cool, bad movie
I was just about to write the same thing
I love how when a protagonist in a movie has a childhood bully that that bully is always a bully. Even like ten, twenty years later, when he was a bully in middle, or high school, and the protagonist has a run in with him many years later, that bully never changed.
this is why it was so extra great when zootopia subverted this
Were you a bully?
My favorite part of this film is when mace gets his revenge on anakin.
Ok that one made me chuckle haha
Now all I think about this movie is it was made so that Mace Windu can get revenge on Anakin
@@Brother_O4TS yeah I’m pretty sure that the reasoning they probably only want that fight but other people told to make an actual film and that why it was so bad because they didn’t have a story planned and just made it up as they where making the film that my theory.
After me and my little sister saw this for the first time we thought we could jump too and we made a game out of it where we just jumped from couch to couch and made sound effects with our mouths. that was a good memory 😊
czcams.com/video/KctNKrDLA7o/video.html
@Ed dude omg me and my sister would pretend like we were in the matrix and shot at eachother and would slow mi dodge 😂 unfortunately all I have are memories now
Aww! That was so cute.
.🤔😑🖕.
But then your sister slipped and broke her neck for years you're trying to find the couch that killed your sister and get revenge
In star wars Haden does pretty damn good for a damaged young man turning into a man. It would make sense Anakin would be a fair bit broken as his Mother was most likely always talked down to for being a slave and despite knowing that is the wrong way to treat someone he would still have a good chance of adopting some of those behaviors. Then you put in the fact he is a very powerful prodigy and gifted in many fields of combat and versatility so him being cocky would make sense.... He sucked in Jumper though.
He’s fine in RotS, but AotC is horrible tho
@@jueezzzz Ya but that's on George. Hayden himself didn't like the performance he gave in that movie, but it was the exact performance Lucas wanted out of him. The special features go into it, George was very particular about how he wanted Anakin to come across and Hayden gave him exactly what he wanted, despite hating the performance he was being asked to give.
The one thing I took from this movies when I watched it YEARS ago was how cool the power is, the rest of the movie is just a blur. :/
Two coolest powers in fiction for me was this, and Hero's time powers from the heroes series. Well maybe Claire's too.
"Save the cheerleader, save the world."
This unlocked a childhood memory buried in the depths of my brain
Honestly same dude. I had a vague memory of it, but only the concept of jumping
My parents were strict on the number of PG-13 movies I could see. So it was a big deal when they let me rent Jumper. But after watching the train wreck of a film, all little me could think was "Dang, I just wasted a PG-13 movie slot on this garbage" xD
What is Merle Dixon doing in this movie?
Also, I think it’s great how Hayden and Sam are back together again for another movie. Good for them.
Your editor’s going crazy.
Imagine a sequel with Griffin as the main character.
Seriously tho, what is he doing in there?
And also...
WHERES COORRAALL!!???
Wow, I can't believe Anakin Skywalker had such a strange career before he became a jedi. I see why he killed all the Younglings now
The multi-jump punch Griffin does is legit one of THE BEST action sequences I've ever seen in a movie
Factual
yes i did enjoy that part myself!
I wish that there were more things like that in the movie.
The imitation of Hayden Christiansen had me crying.
Just from hearing about this it would be so much more interesting if Griffin was the main character or if a lot of the story was from his perspective. They could have had it switch from both David and Griffin's perspective at the very least so that way we would understand the better character and know why he wants to kill the Paladins so badly. It would also give ppl a break from dealing with David the whole time. It also would have been so much more interesting if Griffin and the Paladins relucted worked together to take down David. He messes up so much of Griffin's life
In the prequel to the book this is loosely based off of Griffith is the main character
This and "batman and robin" are probably my two biggest guilty pleasures to watch. So im reading the title like "YOU TAKE THAT BACK PIG!!!!!"
Good thing he changed the title!
Me: what sort of power do i hold?????
the younger version of the main character always seemed way more interesting and well done to me. hayden definetly brought some stale acting to this which is kinda sad but what can u do lol :')
And the younger versions of their characters look nothing like them. Whoever was the casting director in this really did a poor job.
It's the guy from Catch That Kid
@@ananousous omg i know him from Nancy Drew! and Bates Motel
a good idea to redeem this movie is for them to make a series then there would be more time for them to create a good story of how the jumpers started and something like a reboot
Yea they turned the sequel impulse into a show they should definitely make a show of jumper
Or add enderman teleportation sound too every jump
you've just unlocked me some war flashbacks with the notification

Every couple of days to a week, I get a blast from my childhood past because of your videos, and I have to say, it gets the heart moving. The memories flowing.
Thank you dude 👌🏻
This guy can just be an SCP titled "Egotistical Space/Time Jumper" who just zips around the entire Foundation buildings and is highly annoying and at some point he ends up with 682 and is immediately eaten
I remember i always used to watch this movie with my Mum when I was younger. it might be bad now I watch it and im older. But back then, this movie was amazing and so fun to watch. It created some fun memories for my childhood.
Same but honesty i think it was just the teleport power that got me in nothing else
@@all9472 Yh exactly. Hahaha
17:45 the reason why he was able to teleport a whole building was because he had a strong motivation to save his love interest. Those seems to be incredible powerful but they just don’t know yet powerful
David reads more like a sociopath. Just from his actions and his attitude towards other people screams it to me. Hell, it wouldnt surprise me if he was considering his mom wants to kill him.
Also side note-- I guess this movie is just Anakin vs Mace Windu Part 2 ,huh?

I used to be obsessed with this movie. But in retrospect, I think it was less about the actual movie and more about what it could’ve been. Such a good concept with so much potential.
I remember being obsessed with this movie as a kid. I loved the idea of the whole movie. But I don’t remember it being this rough. LMAO
For the interests of equal time, I gotta say Hayden C. was perfectly cast and really killed it, in "Life As A House".
BRO am I the only one who played the video game that came out with this movie and had a blast?
@Zach Westbay I was about to type the EXACT same thing! What?!?!

There was a GAME??

@@crystalfox581 PS2 of course lmao. It was bad. Like.. really bad.

I love how meta this is
I S Y O U R H A N D O N M Y A S S
High Anxiety eyy
I love this movie because I loved the concept and the power, teleportation would be my number one pick power each and every time
When I first saw this movie like a year ago, I didn't even know it was actually based on a book. So I checked it out, and yeah the book was wayyy better. More interesting concept, well rounded characters, the usual stuff in a great book. I highly recommend it, it's really good. Plus it's also a series, like only 4 books.
Yeah the series is pretty good. And Jumper Griffin's Story is worth a read too if you want something in a similar vein to the movie: kid is being chased by this unknown organization that can seem to sense his jumping abilities, a new concept called jump rot is introduced (though it could be argued that this was also introduced in Impulse when David learned how to quickly teleport between two points, it just wasn't named as such), his parents are killed... never in the entire book is the organization's motives made clear, they're just hunters until the very end where Griffin decides to take the hunt to them.

@@spree9945 Even if you agree or disagree with the statement they are replying about what BionicPIG said when they wrote "Pig:" and not the movie.
Isn't it weird that Sam Jackson sees the picture of David's mom and lingers on it but nothing ever comes of it.
It's cuz they're both paladins, right?
I love this movie and is still my automatic answer anytime somebody asks “What superpower do you want?” (for some reason, that’s always the question that comes up)
And Hayden Christiensen is awesome, genuinely a cool guy in interviews too.
Holy crap, this is one of my favourite films because it’s mindless fun, much like Wanted. I agree with everything you have to say about it though.
You talking about Jumper just un-repressed my memory of another little movies called "Seeker", would love to see this one dug up again.
Me: **reads the title**
Also Me: _YES_
Not gonna lie, Jumper is a guilty pleasure.
I remeber loving it since the first time I watched it, like man, he has the power to go anywhere with just looking at a picture, he has everything he wants and the fights were just crazy to look at.
Is full of flaws, but I would be liying if I say I don't like the movie. Dont kill me XDD
I watched this when I was younger and didn't remember it at all
Wow thats interesting
The movie is based on a book series the director adapted the beginning pretty much chapter by chapter then the director made everything up on his own
Pig: "No one notices it?"
Also pig: " This other guy noticed it"
Funny to know this was gonna originally be a Nightcrawler film .
... honestly I think that would have made it wayyyyy better. It "explains" a lot of the bad parts. Why he steals to live, the whole mom being evil thing, religious fundamentalists hunting him down...even the girl though that's kinda Hollywood either way. Lot easier to sell the beauty and the beast thing than "this girl is apparently trying to get murdered"
Also why he'd be just forgotten about, if he was some blue skinned tailed freak he'd probably be homeschooled, and then one day he's just gone.
Now I'm salty lmaooo
…but it’s based on a book
I remember liking the effects and the fact the first thing he did was use his powers to rob a bank.. I also had started smoking weed.
The lead is Hayden Christensen, you get what you pay for
I really liked jumper, I get what your saying where it’s like it was a good idea but done with bad execution. I think if anyone else played the lead guy they would’ve done the sequels like they wanted too but because of Hayden’s performance it tanked in the box office. I think also people were still looking at Hayden in a negative light especially considering episode 3 came out 2 years prior, idk those are just my thoughts but I still will enjoy watching it from time to time
I remember this movie. My spent a week at my grandma's and this was the only DVD she had that I wanted to watch. So I watched this movie almost once a day while I was there
A movie that had similar concept in terms of loser getting powers or something insane was limitless. A lot things you see in jumper were also in that movie but the excution, writing, and acting was just better.
I genuinely am not usually "that person," but today I'm gonna be -THE. BOOK. WAS. SO. MUCH. BETTER. (I'm sorry, but I read the thing as a teen and I now know the author and his wife and I'm more than a bit pissed off. They just FLATTENED the whole story! It bears almost no resemblance!) I swear by the the planet and all its inhabitants, I know how films work and why visual mediums have to and *should* change story aspects for a satisfying experience, but their changes here made no SENSE.
By the way there are (book) sequels.
I highly recommend Impulse, it's a CZcams Premium show that's a really good re-adaptation of this and the books they're based off of. It's better than this movie.
you just informed me of some more jumper like media and i thank you for it my friend as i am a huge fan of the books
Just from the beginning he literally sets himself up as more of a villain. Because the first thing he does with his powers is rob a bank. He then tries to defend himself by saying "I was fifteen, what would you have done?"
You know what I would've done at that age? *Not f**kin' that.*
Honestly one of those movies I've always liked since it came out. Literally watched this a month ago. Lol. Although Pig made some really good points, makes just want to watch it again! Also is the primary reason that I always say I'd like to have the power of teleportation when people ask me. By far my favorite concept of the power.
you've been covering so many movies i loved as a child, but i'm so glad because it's so funny to look back on them now
This guy is literally Gordon Ramsey except he critics movies instead of food 😂
This just brought back a memory of this I’d isn’t know I had. Like I just remeber red seeing this movie when I was like idk 14 maybe but only seeing the Rome part and thinking it was so cool. Idk why I didn’t see the whole movie but yeah. This is still such a cool concept to this day it’s genuinely such a water potential. And especially for the time it came out in, this could’ve been such a big movie or franchise even.
Holy shit, just realised that young David rice is played by Max thieriot who now plays clay in seal team (I'm sure a series that no one here is interested in but I love)
Just watched this movie for the first time on a whim. The thing that got me on this movie is that Griffin went through all the trouble to get a flamethrower when he could've just shot the people as they followed him through the portal. The fact that no one used guns is the most unbelievable part for me haha
Dude you're memes are the frickin best, I was always laughing great job
WHY DID YOU REMIND OF THIS MOVIE. Memories of watching had laid dormant in the lowest reaches of my mind...
Surprisingly I liked this movie as a kid
I like to think that when he stares at her he’s imagining she’s a youngling and he really wants to play beat saber
It’s an emotional, cool asf and genuinely interesting movie from beginning to end and I only wish they’d make another with Hayden as the Dad of two sons who can jump who hate each other. Another interesting story to rebirth the franchise! Wasn’t a big fan of the tv show so let’s make it happen! It’s so awesome I love it
The editing is 11/10 amazing done Bionic
Is actually one of my favourite movies of all time still in my top 10
Robbing a maximum security bank would be probably the 3rd or 4th thing I do tbh
We had a dvd blue ray of this for so long, it was a memorable film though easy enough to remember what happens, didn't recognize Hayden's acting as good or bad as a kid
If this was an anime it would be SOOOO GOOD!!!
I honestly enjoyed the movie. I just found it so funny how they casted Samuel L Jackson as the villian in this movie. Just thought "oh how the tables have turned Anakin Skywalker "
I had the ps2 game for this as a kid where you played as griffin
I loved this movie and had no idea there was a game!
@@ArgyleDinosaur I wouldn’t get too excited the game sucked more than the movie
Watching your videos is like having someone finally agree about all of my judge mental movie opinions from when I was a kid
Max Theriot from Pacifier is also in this. I actually like that actor so I don’t want to shit on him!
This movie could have been as good as chronicle. My biggest problem with this movie is that the relationship between David and Millie isn’t needed, it’s so forced and weird. But I still enjoy seeing it on television because it’s one of my guilty pleasures.
I actually love this movie. I know it’s like a 6/10 but boy it’s a strong 6. The jumping was dope plus as a teenager you could connect to the young version of the character. A lot of us would do some of the things he did. Lol adding to the movie. But yeah it’s not great in hindsight 😆
I snort laughed when "Hayden Christensen" poured G Fuel on his tongue. It was just a masterpiece. One of your best, Pig.
I absolutely love Hayden, idk why, he's just so damn cute in the behind the scenes during attack of the clones and revenge of the sith
I think that's Hayden in general. Everytime I watch a bts video or an interview from him I ask myself how he can still be so cute, sweet and kind after all the hate he got. Also his smiles and laughter lift up my mood everytime.
honestly this movie does have a cool concept of Jumpers. as much as people would want flying or invisibility, this always stuck out to me cause it's just so cool. just remembering a location, no matter where on the other side of the planet you are, and just being there. it's like Nightcrawler from X-Men, but better!
There’s a tv show or was, that does this concept better and it’s called The Tomorrow People (2013) and it’s really great, it only has one season tho but it’s worth it
my favorite line in this film was when Roland told David "take a seat young Rice"
Remember liking this movie when I was like 14 lol saw it in theaters.
You are just a gold mine of nostalgia, my guy.
i know nobody want's to hear this but in 12:31 there is a scene with a backpack, and i have the exact same model of this backpack. ye, pretty cool right?
Glad I’m not the only one who thought this concept could have been amazing.
I loved this movie and I really like Hayden as an actor just because he’s been in some things I enjoyed. Loved him as anakin tbh.
Thank you. I saw the movie and was like "what the hell are they doing?“ the whole time.
I don't know, I like this movie, I watched it pretty recently and I like most of the things in it

@@YolandaMovieCorner but y doe?
Pig: Personally the first thing I would do is NOT rob a maximum security bank
Me: 😳 umm………we are two very different people
When a movie is on a movie recap channel you know it’s not that good
I had this movie! I was a set that came with a short comic book. I was unsure if it was supposed to be his mom or if it was another lady, but it was from the perspective of a paladin going to hunt a jumper. I liked both the movie and the comic, but I thought the latter was A LOT better.
Bro a whole hater haha I think Hayden is very talented. He's a big part of the reason the prequels are my favorite Star Wars trilogy. When I was very young, I thought the concept of "Jumping" anywhere was dope like what would y'all do with that?
Great review man! It's awesome to relive that nonsense through the bionic pig lense. Love your channel man, can't wait to see what you do next!
I don't understand why you blame the Hayden Christensen for the movie's writing. He didn't write the movie. In an emotional moment such as his father dying I don't imagine he cares much about the condition he leaves the hospital wall in either.
4:20 if you watch the film you can clearly see that the jumps are only loud when he first gets his powers and is learning how to use them, after the time skip, when he's had a few years to master his powers, the jumps are quiet. The scenes where they are loud jumps after the time skip are usually done intentionally or due to him being in a stressful situation
I remember seeing a book of the movie at some point, and something they probably changed to keep a lower age restriction on the movie is that, in the book, the main character is nearly raped by some trucker who helps him run away, and then he jumps to the library after it's closed. probably for the best that they changed it.
I watched a bunch of Hayden movies and I have to say that he is a great actor for anyone out there who wants to give him a chance I recommend Life As A House and Shattered Glass
You should review the movie heavyweights
I was obsessed with that movie as a kid.
