I saw Jumper last night.
To be blunt, it was a mess of a movie. The plot was full of holes. The acting was flat. The dialog was amusing at times, but over all forgettable.
The action sequences were quite entertaining.
The movie needed much more back story. As it was, you have Jumpers and Paladins. Paladins kill Jumpers. That's it. That's all you know. The movie makes you want to know much more.
Samuel Jackson looked annoyed through most of the movie. It might be because he was referred to mostly as "the black man? With white hair?" by the other characters in the movie.
Hayden Christiansen is a worse actor than Keanu Reeves. Seriously. This movie proves it.
If you want to watch Jumper, do so at a matinee.
At least it's only 88 minutes long.
