Jett Jackson: The Movie

Before going in the review I have to warn you readers that I have never seen an episode of the JETT JACKSON show. Then why did I saw this TV movie you might ask? Well, I am trying to watch all of Michael Ironside's movies and this was the first TV movie I saw with him. With his TV movies I had to start somehow uh? As a result since I never saw the show on which it was based, I mildly liked it but not much more.

When the movie begins Jett Jackson (Lee Thompson Young) is seen doing an episode of his show SILVERSTONE and soon decides to quit. Later however there is a prop malfunction and he's sucked in the world of SILVERSTONE and the world of that show blends with that of Jett Jackson. Together they'll discover Dr Kragg (Ironside)'s evil plan of wanting to rule the world and they'll join forces for stopping him. After all this Jett will understand that he can't avoid to do SILVERSTONE and accepts of doing more seasons.

As I have never seen an episode of JETT JACKSON I was new to the concept but I liked this nonetheless because of the acting (with Ironside as usual playing a great villain) and CGI that was cool for 2001 standards.

A must for fans of the show that can also be enjoyed by those who have never seen the show like me.

Jett Jackson: The Movie is a real thriller and when watching it one can't help but wonder why it wasn't released theatrically. Martial arts scenes are flawless and the special effects are top caliber. As for the plot it is nearly impossible to sum up except to say that teen television star Jett Jackson and the character he plays, spy Silverstone switch lives in a mix-up of the space/time continuum. As with everything else about this movie the acting is also as good as it gets with Montrose Hagins as Miz Coretta standing out as the best. Thought provoking and recommended.

This is one of the greatest movies I have ever seen. Great casting. It's about Jett and Silverstone, who trades places. Jett is in Silverstone's world and Silverstone is in Jett's world. Jett has to save the world in Silverstone's world and stop Dr. Kragg for stealing cities of the World. Kragg can change into anyone he wants to. If you haven't seen it, go and see it. It comes to video March 2002. So rent it, tape it , or just watch it. Recommended to anyone who likes The Famous Jett Jackson and for people who like action, romance, and humor. It's a must see.

I really enjoyed this movie. Lee Tompson Young did a wonderful job. Their was great acting, good stunts, and an original story from Disney. I doubt that any other original movie will be any better. This one is one of the best and I suggest if it's on that you watch it.

First of all let me get this out of the way, I have never watched The Famous Jett Jackson on Disney Channel. This is going to be a review that is focused on how this movie works as a standalone movie without having watched the series and after watching this movie, I'm definitely going to watch The Famous Jett Jackson, because this movie was phenomenal and that's saying a lot given this is a Disney Channel Original Movie.

Positives for Jett Jackson: The Movie (2001): The thing that I'll remember this movie for is the story. You have this kid in high school who is very famous thanks to the TV Show that he works, but at the same time, it's caused him to miss a lot of important events that you can only experience once as a kid, so he's considered leaving the show to focus on having a life only to swap places the fictional character that he portrays onscreen and stuff goes down in both worlds. At the center of that plot is a phenomenal performance by the late Lee Thompson Young as both Jett Jackson and Silverstone. He manages to play both these characters off very well. All of the side characters from both worlds are very entertaining and enjoyable in many ways. I also really the journeys these two characters go throughout the runtime and I like how their journeys wrap up by the end.

Negatives for Jett Jackson: The Movie (2001): This is a TV Movie from the early 2000s, so there are certain effects that don't age very well. Also, this is a Disney Channel Original Movie, so it's basically made for kids and there are time where you have to accept that.

Overall, As someone who's never watched the show that this movie is based on, I highly enjoyed Jett Jackson : The Movie (2001) and now it has given me the motivation to actually watching The Famous Jett Jackson.
