Jett Jackson: The Movie (2001)

Great for the kids or any young children, from the ages of 5 - 16, hell, even adults can like it! Amazing story line, acting is superb and this is just all around fantastic. One of the best original Disney movies, I cannot believe how good the effects are, I'm very happy I watched this. Plus the the main actor is cute to boot, cute smile, bright teeth, beautiful slanted eyes. I recommend this if you want an action packed, suspense movie with a hint of comedy and you know how every Dis movie is, has to have a love interest. But regardless of the silly love parts, I cannot stress how wonderful this is. This is how Disney movies should be made!!

This is a fun, well-made family's movie with good intentions. It's based off of the once-popular Disney Channel series "The Famous Jett Jackson," which I used to catch on TV once in a while. I always considered it the best of the Disney Channel TV shows (the rest are all mostly lame and unfunny and repetitive) and the movie adaptation is acceptable for what it is.The best aspect is that the film approaches the series with a fresh idea and manages to come across as a child's version of "Mission: Impossible." It begins with Jett (Lee Thompson Young) deciding to quit his famous role of teen-agent Silverstone, a top-secret action hero. However shortly after quitting the role (at the disapproval of friends and family) he's struck on the head and lapses into a long dream wherein he IS Silverstone, and no one else seems to believe he's an actor.In his dream, the villain Kragg (Michael Ironside, devious and menacing as usual) has perfected a means to travel between universes, and Jett has to stop him before he invades the "Real World." This movie is nothing special and it's just a made-for-TV Disney movie, aimed at kids, so it has to be graded as such. Lee Thompson Young is a fine actor and has charisma - he handles the action sequences well, no matter how ridiculous they are.In the end it's easy to smirk at this and be a cynic, but it is intended for children and as such works well within the restraints. Of course the concept is silly and childish, but that's the point. It's enjoyable, unpretentious and isn't insulting like the other Disney "Original" Made-for-TV films.Worth catching if you see it on TV sometime, providing you have children. (Or are a child at heart.)

The movie is awesome. How can a TV movie be any better. Disney offers up plenty of action in this movie. The explosion sequence is pretty neat. The special effects are neat too. Most TV movies are very stupid. I like both "Zenon" movies and "Phantom of the Megaplex". I also like "Mom's Gotta Date With a Vampire". But Jett has some weird sequences that have never been seen in a Disney Channel movie. The sequence with New York without sound and color is needless to say WEIRD! Lee Young does decent job acting this thing out. Keep up the good work Disney Channel. I hope "The Jennie Project" is good quality too.

This movie was everything I expected and more. It had a touch of everything. It has a bit of romance, action, and suspence. I loved learning more about Silverstone, he doesn't get enough screen time where they explore him in depth (though i understand it is hard to explore two characters in a half hour show.) There's also a lot they could do with the show if they play off what was in movie. All in all, it makes a great movie which i'm glad I taped because I'd love to watch it over and over again. I've already seen it twice. =)
