Movies that feel likeJumper (2008)

David Rice is a man who knows no boundaries, a Jumper, born with the uncanny ability to teleport instantly to anywhere on Earth. When he discovers others like himself, David is thrust into a dangerous and bloodthirsty war while being hunted by a sinister and determined group of zealots who have sworn to destroy all Jumpers. Now, David’s extraordinary gift may be his only hope for survival!

If you loved Jumper, the closest films we have are Spider-Man 3 (2007), Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) and The Amazing Spider-Man (2012). All three share Jumper's kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Koi... Mil Gaya (2003).

The same preoccupation in both: grief

The difference: Critics rated this one higher still

The seemingly invincible Spider-Man goes up against an all-new crop of villains—including the shape-shifting Sandman. While Spider-Man’s superpowers are altered by an alien organism, his alter ego, Peter Parker, deals with nemesis Eddie Brock and also gets caught up in a love triangle.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever poster

Common ground: grief

The difference: Takes it somewhere less romantic than Jumper does

Queen Ramonda, Shuri, M’Baku, Okoye and the Dora Milaje fight to protect their nation from intervening world powers in the wake of King T’Challa’s death. As the Wakandans strive to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must band together with the help of War Dog Nakia and Everett Ross and forge a new path for the kingdom of Wakanda.

One thread runs through both: superpowers

Superman returns to discover his 5-year absence has allowed Lex Luthor to walk free, and that those he was closest to felt abandoned and have moved on. Luthor plots his ultimate revenge that could see millions killed and change the face of the planet forever, as well as ridding himself of the Man of Steel.

The same mix in both: momentum, then scale

Peter Parker is unmasked and no longer able to separate his normal life from the high-stakes of being a super-hero. When he asks for help from Doctor Strange the stakes become even more dangerous, forcing him to discover what it truly means to be Spider-Man.

Cerebral where it counts, romantic underneath

The difference: 28 years apart, and the 1980s show

Three Kryptonian criminals led by General Zod team up with Lex Luthor to conquer Earth, forcing a depowered Superman to regain his strength and stop them.

Armageddon poster

🍅 42%★ 6.7action · science fiction · adventure

Melancholy action in both cases

When an asteroid threatens to collide with Earth, NASA honcho Dan Truman determines the only way to stop it is to drill into its surface and detonate a nuclear bomb. This leads him to renowned driller Harry Stamper, who agrees to helm the dangerous space mission provided he can bring along his own hotshot crew. Among them is the cocksure A.J. who Harry thinks isn't good enough for his daughter, until the mission proves otherwise.

Kinetic adventure, and it commits to that

Action with a pulse of ideas, in both cases
