It had a good first act, but 2nd and 3rd was awful and disjointed
What was the point of including the mother for two scenes?
Samuel Jackon's character feels very 2D dimensional, IMO it would have been better if they made Griffin the villain.

>Mother
She was a known actress so it gave the feel that there really was more to the story. Too bad we never got more.
Jackson's character did not feel 2D dimensional. His intense hatred was dogmatic and he seemed like a zealot. Again, like there was more to it. Too bad there wasn't more.
>disjointed and awful
Pure lies. Disjointed would be something happening out of nowhere to make shit make sense.
Shouldnt have had a villain. Just have it be a teenager's wet drwam for 90 minutes.
this, 9 year old me would have the best day dreams at school about this power after watching the movie
For me it was stopping time.
>Could steal anything you wanted and never set off alarms like with slow time
>I would frequently fantasise about undressing all the girls at my school and then starting time to see what would happen
>I'd also fantasise about checking out all the girls naked and seeing if they were shaved or not
Good times.
I'd also fantasise about stopping time, doing something sexual with a girl, starting time for a split second so she sees me doing said thing and then stopping it again and leaving to see what would happen.
Stopping time is not as fun as you think it is unless it completely ignores the laws of physics and it's meme magic. You would choke if you didn't constantly move around because you would create a CO2 bubble around yourself. You would be blind too.
I fantasized about stopping time to cheat on my calculus exam. wtf is wrong with me?
why couldn't hayden have gotten more roles like that
>robbing banks and then living on a penthouse
how in the frick did that not raise any redflags? hello? this dude was paying for everything with cash
does the IRS not exist in this world?
Why do you think the crazy organization caught up with him?
clearly, he did off-screen money laundering, fact he failed algebra doesn't mean he couldn't put his shit together
I didn't like the main lead girl, I felt that Jackson was the right casting choice but his character could've been a bit expanded on, having a religious crusader hunt teleporters was nice but lacked a metaphysical punch to stick the landing.
and I felt a bit bad for the father
This movie had a lot of potential for a franchise if Jamie Bell had been the protagonist in a revenge story against Sam Jackson but Hayden and the OC girl ruined it. I'll always watch it drunk af tho and pretend I'm a teenager again with girls throwing themselves at me and the world at my feet
>manage to beat a guy who can teleport with meme tech
this was so fricking unbelievable, I mean Jackson gets teleported by them at every turn and not one of them thought about just teleporting him in the middle of the pacific or something?
It's just too powerful of an ability to make a believable conflict out of it
why not the atlantic
Atlantic is bloated with cargo ships, he'd get a ride in no time
I think you are underestimating Asia's trade routes sir. Also great whites rule the Atlantic
he had a tazer thingy tho
>in the middle of the pacific
I would not take any chances, the frickers will find themselves in the middle of Antarctica
Why not give them the best view?
your organs would kinda explode even if you teleport for a mere 1 second in outer space
What the frick are you talking about?
well in the movie they must teleport themselves if they wish to teleport others with them, so if he wants to throw Jackson on the moon he'd have to teleport there as well, and there's no way you'll be able to teleport to the moon, throw Samuel L.Jackson and then return to earth without a scratch on you
>there's no way you'll be able to teleport to the moon, throw Samuel L.Jackson and then return to earth without a scratch on you
Why?
Outer space is way more survivable than that. Chilling in space without a suit for a full minute would be possible.
I bet if you held your breath you could do it.
I don't know if you are just trolling or serious. You would have to blow air out of the lungs before doing this. The rest of the body is fine to go from 1 to 0 atmospheric pressure, but lungs can hold enough air to expand so much it would rupture them.
>You would have to blow air out of the lungs before doing this.
Yeah, you blow the air out of your lungs and then hold your breath. If you try to breathe in space you're fricked.
I'd drop him in brazillian favela
>2 dimensional dimensional
i felt that
i want to frick both rachel bilson and kristen stewart
This movie was bullshit, not one jumper or cardigan to be seen, not even a pull over!
Same. Also the mc seems like an butthole and is not smart.
stop making fun of me Cinemaphile, there's no way you can survive in space, it's not a question of holding your breath god dammit

>An astronaut floating without a suit in space wouldn't survive, but their demise would happen within minutes, not within seconds
As long as you can portal out without the guy holding you there for several minutes you'd ultimately be fine.
I unironically liked it when it came out
Get one of the Marvel guys to make it competently and you'd have yourself some kino
