I had very high hopes for Jumper. It is the sort of movie that, when done well, I really enjoy. But i’ve gotten used to not seeing my hopes fulfilled and I wasn’t surprised by the wooden performances of the actors in this movie and the major worm-holes in the plot.
I’ve never known Hayden Christenson to be a very good actor but considering Samuel Jackson’s substandard performance, I have to assume the problem was not with the actors.
The effects are not too bad and the action sequences are entertaining.
