Comments on: Review: Push http://www.rowthree.com/2009/02/09/review-push/ Where Cinema is more than just $100 Million productions Sat, 11 Feb 2012 14:16:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Andrew James http://www.rowthree.com/2009/02/09/review-push/#comment-32786 Andrew James Mon, 27 Jul 2009 17:52:54 +0000 http://www.rowthree.com/?p=10136#comment-32786 Liked PUSH well enough. It needed that extra little "spark" to really capture me, but it was fun. You're right on Dakota Fanning - she just might successfully make that transition. I thought she was really good in this. If you're a fan of "Heroes" and would like to see a fairly straight-forward, 100 minute version of the show, Push is a good place to start. The movers' fist fight scene in the warehouse at the end was pretty cool. I also like the screaming guys (Bleeders) - they are bad ass and creepy looking. Liked PUSH well enough.

It really did bore me and that may have been the mix of Christensen and Jackson - neither held any appeal for me. And as much as I liked the idea, that film didn't get me interested enough to want to see anything else taking place in that world.

I stand by my review. How Hayden uses his power is very realistic I think. I like that approach - it's done better in Jumper than it is done even in Hancock I think. It's so much more believable in <em>Jumper</em>. (e.g. using his power to get a lot of money or instead of reaching two feet to get to the remote control for his TV he simply jumps there. I love those little details. Also, the way the technique looks and sounds in the movie is pretty awesome. The car chase is ridiculously cool and everywhere they jump is exotic and fun. There are a couple fight sequences that are kind of poorly edited, but all in all, I had more fun with <em>Jumper</em> than watching Iron Man. Jumper was not “bad” all the way around.

Jumper was bad all around and I was *bored* to tears sitting through it. The basic premise was interesting enough but the rest of it was disastrous. On the other hand, I had a great time watching Push and I would have been happy to see the story wrap up with more than the hanging sequel ready closing scene. No way!
