Jumper topped the box office this weekend, adding fuel to the fire that the combined power of Hayden Christensen and Samuel L. Jackson can propel a movie to do well even if the reviews are bad and there’s no giant all-powerful franchise backing it up. Or, maybe people just like sci-fi tinged action movies starring pretty boys and handsome badasses. Will we ever know?
Did anyone see it? Opinions?
My opinion: Jumper was fairly mediocre, due to really poor pacing, choppy editing, and a generally weak plot. Neat ideas and concepts, though. The actors did all right with what they had, which wasn’t much. Recommended for action junkies and Hayden fans, otherwise wait for it to come out to DVD.
