"Jumper:" brief DVD review

Mediocre but watchable. No discernible story or character development, just lots of action. Only 90 minutes long, and leaves lots of room for a sequel that probably won't happen. Decent special effects. Hayden Christensen wasn't as bad as many of the critics suggest, he was just saddled with another lousy script, and his character in the movie was kind of an arrogant prick. As evidenced in "Shattered Glass," the dude can act. Worth a watch if you have nothing better to do.

WAYYYYYYY too generous with that review. What a freakin' mess. Something went horribly wrong with the development of this movie. There was such potential to be cool, but it just ended up being a truly insulting action flick that made plot holes it obviously had no intention of fixing. Ugh. Also, it felt A LOT longer than 90 minutes.
