Neither thats why that wasnt the question,if you dont like either dont bash the topic by showing how funny you really arent!

To me, it's sad how similar these movies were. However, I liked Push better. Jumper bothered me in a number of scenes (including the baton-weapons that didn't really work). There were some things in Push that I thought were really clever (and some that were really inane too). Overall, I'm debating picking up Push and would never get Jumper personally.

Also- casting. I don't like Hayden and think that Sam Jackson is completely overrated, while Push has Djimon and Dakota Fanning.

I say, go ahead and Push that Jumper. Moron should not be on that building anyway.

iori · 07-20-2009, 08:43 PM

Push is way better than jumper.

langn08 · 07-20-2009, 08:43 PM

I am going to go with Jumper

Sagacious Koreo · 07-20-2009, 08:43 PM

It's funny, I just finished watching Jumper like 5 minutes ago. It was good, but the plot holes dumbed it down too much. If there was a better explanation to what and how all of this stuff happened then it would've been alright. I'm sure it's kind of the same for Push. I could've seen Jumper as being sort of a sci-fi Bourne Identity if it was fully realized. Where he's being chased everywhere while finding out his identity and stuff like that. That would've been neat.

I think acting and plot is better in push.
Push is focus in one area (Hong Kong)
While Jumpers is in many places
The GCI is better done in jumpers, especially the scene of bus and car jump.
The ending plot from push is brilliant while jumper is let down.

I like push better cause of the story plot and has many chinese language spoke in the film which i understand them. Jumper to me is more like a reference disk to show the good cgi.

GhOsTGrEgG · 07-20-2009, 08:44 PM

I think Push was a terrible movie. Jumper was better in my opinion. Jumper was simple and to the point. Push has too many different "abilities" that they never really went far into. The Asian girls future seeing ability was totally different from the little girls future seeing ability? That aspect seemed to draw me away from the whole powers idea.

Atleast in Jumper you had much better special effects and Different locations to look at.

I'm a tough critic when a movie just doesn't grab me and pull me in. Push was not one of those movies.

Glad I did not blind buy.

Indeed, I concur. Push was a blind buy and I really enjoyed it. I thought it was way better then Jumper.

inzanee · 07-20-2009, 08:47 PM

Didn't really like either, but if i had to choose i'd say push.

Take a pill and lighten-up a bit, dude.

You asked a question, and did not specify you only wanted responses with which you argreed. So, to make my response a little more clear for the comedy-challenged, I'd have to vote 'neither' as they were both terrible movies. In my humble opinion, of course.

langn08 · 07-20-2009, 08:49 PM

We should get a poll going for this one

It's your opinion, and I'm not trying to change you on it, but there's no reason that their abilities wouldn't manifest themselves in different ways. We're not talking super-powers here, we're talking about psionics here. Mental abilities could work in multiple ways.
