Boston Globe | Wesley MorrisAdd Critic to Favorites

But what can you do with Hayden Christensen? He's as close as we have to an android actor. It's all a chore for him. He never looks sufficiently scared, impressed, or surprised by any of this.Read the full review

Entertainment Weekly | Owen GleibermanAdd Critic to Favorites

Liman, for all his craft, doesn't have enough FUN with the premise.Read the full review

Los Angeles Times | Kevin CrustAdd Critic to Favorites

Jumper is all high concept with little invested in characters or story.Read the full review

ReelViews | James BerardinelliAdd Critic to Favorites

Liman applies the same frenetic approach to action scenes that made "The Bourne Identity" such an engaging and exciting affair.Read the full review

Rolling Stone | Peter TraversAdd Critic to Favorites

Talk about disappointing. Director Doug Liman exuded style and cool in "Swingers," "Go" and "The Bourne Identity." He lost his way in the star bloat of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," and now his mojo is buried in this amped-up sci-fi chase flick.Read the full review

San Francisco Chronicle | Walter AddiegoAdd Critic to Favorites

Goes south as a sci-fi film.Read the full review

Slate | Dana StevensAdd Critic to Favorites

Jumper not only makes the rules up as it goes along; it neglects to tell us what those rules are, which is both unfair and unfun.Read the full review

The Hollywood Reporter | Michael RechtshaffenAdd Critic to Favorites

Jumper proves disappointingly inert. All the state-of-the-art visual effects in the world can't compensate for spotty plotting and bland characters that prevent an intriguing premise from going the distance.Read the full review

The New York Times | Manohla DargisAdd Critic to Favorites

A barely coherent genre mishmash.Read the full review

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Tasha RobinsonAdd Critic to Favorites

No exciting action can cover the film's profound shallowness and repulsive attitude toward everyone but Christensen.Read the full review
