I recommend reading some of Rick Riorden's emails from the time he had his books adapted to the big screen. The snark is very strong with that one

GrimSister i distinctly remember the second movie had a script so close to the book that it may as well have been the manuscript of the book... then empathy link no translate and change and change later we got not adaptation

Just watched the dvd extras and the writer was 100% ok with the changes made

No. Fuck Twilight.

Same! Teleporting would make my life so much easier ^^

I'm fairly sure most people did, lol. I sure did.

Well played. Well played indeed

@Mr. TAD Yeah, but he is just a one guy. I know he stole alot for a one guy, but he is still just a one guy. I doubt he could ever steal as much to cause this kind of problem, since even his luxury life is quite inexpensive, in the grand scheme of things.

why

i want a colab to happen

YES FUCKING PLEASE! I follow both channels and these guys almost never (or at least rarely) review the same stuff! They both have their own style of doing the same thing, which would make for a very interesting crossover.

Yeah, both their reviews of Lynch's Dune was GOLD not to mention Percy Jackson!!

I shall now use this movie to describe what the Dom uses the In name only clause

Yes!!! Somebody NEEDS to make this happen!!!!

I also really liked the movie! Action, special effects, powers and how they used them in fights as well in heist. That is the movie that ignited my love for power of teleportation - "I'm going for a breakfast in france and then i'm going to read a book on the head of the sphynx". And the fact they leave scars like there really was a wormhole there... how they can stack up shortjumps to gain momentum, awesome!

Him teleporting to "stack up momentum" is pretty pointless, to the point of being counter productive. In the books Davy/David experiments with his ability and discovers he retains no momentum between a jump (e.g. He jumps off a cliff, drops for a second or two, then jumps back to the top, still in open space, but hangs for a second before gravity pulls him back down again.) The third book really delves into that aspect of his ability, and depending on when it came out the director may have even pulled this technique from there as their executions are similar.

Definitely read the book. I saw the movie first and thought it was painful. Then i found the book (in my library, ironically) and thought "how bad is the book?" Now i'm in love with the book series and try to read everything by the author. The difference is like comparing I, Frankenstein the movie to Frankenstein the book: they have a similar name, i guess? But they're so different they're even in different genres... The Jumper book is gritty, grounded, and can be a slow burn for some. Even the ending feels kind of unresolved and realistic (as much as a book about teleporting can be :)

@@bladetytan9025 Well we know Griffin has already figured out how to maintain (and maybe add) momentum between jumps like Cent does in the later books because he's jumping a car around as it's driving.

@@MrRtkwe Been awhile, but i think the part i was talking about is his teleport-charge punch he does during one of the fight scenes, if he was doing it to generate momentum it's pointless. One jump is all that would be needed, Jump in front of his target and add x momentum in y direction at his target, done. Also, with the car scene, iirc when Griffin Jumps the car in the air i don't think it carries on moving, he Jumps it up and it hangs there before he jumps it back down somewhere else. This point is countered by the fact that the car carries on moving fine after landing as the wheels should likely spin a bit before regaining traction. (Might not, i'm not sure about the physics of traction in that scenario.)

Book David is a nerdy book reader and jumps to the library because it's the one place he feels safe. He never floods it or anything else like that. >_< Thanks movie!

bradwolf07 It is symbolic. The villains are religious zealots. Religious zealots burn books. David is the hero, so he does the opposite of burning books.

I just pretended that they were all Twilight books.

Hahahahaha didnt connect that one till you pointed it out

Mace wants revenge for being thrown out of a Windu.

I'm just waiting for that to be canonized in some way.

Had similar thoughts reading the Dune books series, was such a great movie in my mind but I thought, 'they can never really do a good movie with that book, it's really all in the books and the mind'.

Read the book! *obligatory meme DEW IT!

So did I. David, as presented in this movie, was a genuinely horrible person with no regard for the lives of others, and Samuel L. Jackson was doing the world at large a service by putting a stop to his dangerous irresponsibility.

WenLi Yang That is why the movie made him a religious Zealot. It was afraid the viewers would not understand he was supposed to be the bad guy if he was an Interpol agent or a bounty hunter hired by banks wanting their money back.

@@schwarzerritter5724 Talk about messing up when you can't even deliver to the viewer who's the good guy and who's the bad ;) It's one thing when it's characters in the grey area and the viewers are supposed to make their own decision, but that's not the case here, it's just a fail.

That makes no sense, why would anyone think a guy that goes around killing people is a good guy

Scott Summers It’s because the movie did such a horrible job at characterization and setting up the conflict. The only two Jumpers we get to know are unrepentant thieves who endanger and kill others without remorse. Griffin likely killed two people and endangered dozens more from just his on-screen car stunts, plus he threatened to leave Millie to die on Everest just because she was involuntarily brought to his lair. Who knows how many other people he’s killed through carelessness or to cover up carelessness? David, despite his claim about not being a killer, likely killed Roland by stranding him in that cave; it’s unlikely Roland could have escaped on his own. That’s the third on-screen time he abandoned someone in an inaccessible location. He could easily have killed several people like that. These two men are menaces to society. The Paladins’ methods are absolutely extreme, yet all evidence we were given points to their motivations - protecting the world from super powered criminals - being sound. Given how Jumpers need to be contained by electrocuting them, the alternative to killing them would be years or even a lifetime of torture. The Paladins may have viewed death as the more merciful option. All in all, even if we disagree with how they complete their mission, it’s still not hard to root for them. I think the movie could have cleared this up by just showing us one Jumper who wasn’t an unrepentant criminal. What if a Jumper really had come to save people from that flood, only to get caught and executed by the Paladins? It could even have been that Jumper we saw Roland shank near the start of the movie. This would have properly demonstrated that the Paladins are executing innocent people simply for possessing ability, regardless of whether that ability is used responsibly.

He was abusive, but it wasn't entirely his fault. All he knew in his life was abuse and he didn't really know what a loving parent looked like. Still a good person deep down, but not without his ugly qualities.

Thanks! I knew from the word go that I'd be using that track somewhere. I'm surprised more people didn't latch on to the Father Son track afterwards, though.

(youll have to forgive the lack of enters/ spaces between the paragraph 's in this in this response. for some reason my computer doesn't save them in my youtube comments) I wouldn't say that's 100% true. even in the first GOTG movie we see Yondu threaten and bully quill hell he even slaps him a few times. and even in GOTG 2 we see there is a disconnect in Yondus actions and words , quill says right to his face that he was often frightened of Yondu growing up. For example Quill: You threatened to eat me Yondu: that was funny Quill: it wasn't to me and you can see how surprised Yondu was to hear this, he never even conceded that outcome. the thing with abuses is that they don't often see themselves as abusers, they like all people rationalize their actions. I making this person stronger, I'm better than the alternative. If I didn't do this this person would fail so I have to do it. so on and so on. just because Yondu didn't give quill to Ego, doesn't really mean he all that much better. yes quill forgave Yondu at the end and quill himself is what we would call an unreliable source of information but we cant help be see the damage Yondu's kind of 'parenting' had on quill. and we see the same kind of abusive relationship between Thanos and Gamora its even worse there as Thanos truly believes he's the hero of his own story so everything he's done to Gamora, Neblua and the other's is justified in his mind. in fact now that I think of it Quill, rocket and Gamora were all products of abusive relationship's. Quill had Yondu, rocket had whom ever turned him into rocket and Gamora had Thanos

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! :D

Absolutely. She is a great character !

He also did The Bourne Identity and Edge of Tomorrow So...

This is all absolutely correct. I could not stand this movie at all for the simple fact that it expected me to empathize with a character I hated.

Thanks! I'm glad you like them. :D

There's a feature on the DVD that's a animated comic about a still teenage David jumping to his mother's childhood home town in Conneticut to find where she is by stealing town records and birth certificates, only to attract the attention of the town's sheriff (who believes David is a crazed stalker) and a paladin who was sent to deal with thing, the sheriff ultimately captures David who tells him that he's looking for his mother, the sheriff lets David go and is then killed by the paladins. That's where the art is from.

Honestly, I disagree. Nightcrawler, from what I remember, is just able to teleport exactly like this movie. Instead I think the problem is more that the elephant in the room is never addressed in any way. It's fine if there's that sort of risk involved, because all powers in superhero stories have drawbacks, but the story needs to state if that's the case and show the characters overcoming it. For example, My Hero Academia addresses this problem with Mirio. He has the ability to phase through things like a ghost, but like that implies, it also means that he risks sinking to the ground and suffocating and getting hurt by jumping into things and dying. He trains and uses his powers in such a way that risk is lessened if he actively thinks about his movements and steps. He's even able to sink into the ground and pop out and launch himself at people. Never read the book either, but I imagine an explanation like that would be in it.

I'm curious what a sweater-based magic system would look like. XD

@@KrimsonRogue This is late but I actually thought of a fun magic system based off of sweater (not quite clothing actually) So basically the magic of this universe is made available through natural materials and subsequently clothing. And the more well made clothing made by trained weavers, the better and easier the magic inside it can be used and manipulated. Since it takes time for any weaver or tailor to become trained and a master, and clothing made by ametures can cause the magic to backfire if not weaved correctly, thus high quality magic clothing were only made available to the nobles and royalty. Clothing for normal people usually have some magic in it (as it's still made from natural materials) but the magic can at most help people heal faster or keep warmer. Whilst the high quality clothing for nobles can allow them to fast track plant growth or blow fire and just much more elaborate and powerful. There are clothing made of certain materials made available to people who do a specific job as 'uniform'. Blacksmiths for example have aprons with fire resistance magic and shopkeepers have outfits that allow them to subtly read someone else's mood or intent to better serve them or aware of potential shopkeepers. Well weaved pieces of clothing are passed down the generation, from matriarch to patriarch, from grandparents to grandchildren. When clothing become unable to be worn, it will be cut up and each member of the family will be given a piece of the fabric as keep sake, turned into headbands or sewn into other clothing. When the industrial ages arrived and massive weaving machines that could weave powerful magic into cloth just like any master weaver, magic then that were only available to the top of the hierarchy where made available to the everyday man. (more powerful magic were also used in wars by soldiers and not just commanders and had a big effect on how massive battles are fought as well) This of course is amazing, making this previously exclusive powerful to everyone but this also brought on the age of fast fashion. Machine woven is fast and reliable, able to pump out many times over the amount a normal weaver can make a day but the quality in the fabric created is not the same. They often don't last nearly as long as man weaved cloth and the magic in the clothing, though powerful, are not able to be manipulated. Ultimately its a critique on fast fashion as well as the up and down side of clothes made by massive conglomerations that show no care towards the clothing made nor the workers in the process.

He also directed The Bourne Identity and Edge of Tomorrow, both seriously cool movies. Yeah this film was a turd, but he's still good in my book.

All good points. I kinda wish I had brought up your comment about medieval Paladins hunting Jumpers without the tech to stop them.

you underestimate religion (they would be considered witches/demons/dijins/etc) and power of assassination. Also how few of them they are, there were three in the whole world. Just look for the king with demonic powers and spread the news how he is a monster worshiping satan. Heck Vlad the Impaler could be jumper not vampire.

Thats because you, me and several others would love a Trilogy out of these movies or maybe a reboot of the first movie. Have you seen the KZfaq premium original series IMPULSE?

Raximus3000 true but teleport makes it sound like nightcrawler power and compare to this guys he is pretty limited

Read the book. It's a light and easy read with likable characters, some great action sequences, and some genuinely touching moments. Plus it's absolutely nothing like the movie, so it'll still be a brand new experience for you.
