Do yourself a favor and jump out of the theater. Jumper is about a guy (Hayden Christensen/Max Thieriot) with teleportation ability who uses it for personal gain. After a decade of operating with no consequences, he finds he's being pursued by a religious group who for centuries have hunted and killed jumpers. The battles between the two are entertaining because the jumpers teleport during their fights within the room and to other locations. At first, it may seem nice that it gets to the point fast, but after a while you realize that Jumper is going too fast. The story gets confusing and becomes a little ridiculous. Jumper showed promise but the lame story ends up leaving it splattered across the ground.

PARENT REVIEW: How 'Bout Calling This "Thief?"

Jumper is about a 15-year-old boy (Max Thieriot who "grows into" Hayden Christensen) who runs away from his abusive father when he discovers he has the ability to teleport. He supports himself by teleporting himself into bank vaults, taking money, and teleporting back to a safe place. While he leaves IOUs in the bank vaults, he doesn't seem to have any remorse and he continues to rob banks for the next decade. When life gets troublesome, he returns to see his childhood sweetheart and within hours they are on a plane together and things steam up quickly.

There is fighting but it's less graphic than anything you see in a videogame. However, because the character sees no problem in breaking the law in assorted ways, this is for middle-school age kids and older.

Ty-Simpkins: Meet IRON MAN 3's 11-year Old Star

alt by Miranda R., Age 15

At 11 years old, Ty Simpkins already has quite a few credits on his resume. Simpkins has been in movies since he was barely 3 months old, and has roles in flicks such as Insidious, The Next Three Days, and Little Children. Maybe even more interesting is how many times he's been cast in films with his real life sister Ryan Simpkins - they play siblings in Revolutionary Road, Pride and Glory and Arcadia, among others.

alt But for Iron Man 3, Ty's first action movie, he goes it alone. Ty plays Harley Keener, an intelligent kid who has a run-in with Iron Man and actually helps him save the day.

Ty's favorite part of working on Iron Man 3 was being able to spend time with its star Robert Downey Jr. "Robert's really fun to work with. He's a really nice guy."

Like many kids his age, Ty is a huge Iron Man fan. "My favorite superhero is Iron Man and I'm not just saying that because I worked on the Iron Man movie. It actually is Iron Man," he says very emphatically....
