Jumper: Jump This Movie • 02.21.08
After watching Fool’s Gold, Jumper was up next. Unfortunately, it wasn’t that exciting. The scenes were Blair-witch like and the characters weren’t developed to their potential. There wasn’t any motives for the so-called good guys and bad guys.
David Rice was made to be some Casanova who was into “banking” (as in robbing banks) and traveling around the world collecting surfboards, exercise machines and other various objects that just decorated his flat.
Roland was made out to be some heartless Jumper killer. This is the part where I don’t understand why he can’t stand anyone who can just jump around. No flashbacks to show why he hates them. Just kill and saying they will all turn bad one day.
The saving grace of this movie, the hot, chiseled body of Hayden Christensen. My, he has since grown out of his Anakin Skywalker image.
