Jumper

I went to this film expecting loads of action, an awesome story and some cool powers that I wish I had. But I came out slightly disapointed. It was kind of like when you record a film off the television. You get drawn into the story as the film progresses and just as it gets to the climax it stops because it hasn't recorded the end of the film, you get really pissed off and go away disapointed. Thats what I felt like with Jumper. It felt like it needed an extra 30 minutes on the end. But on the other hand I'm sure we'll get another hour and 30 minutes instead, since Hollywood seems to be bringing out sequels of everything recently.

I'd be pretty happy with a sequel though because overall it was a pretty awesome film. Although after watching Star Wars Episode II & III, I couldn't figure out whether I didn't like Hayden Christensen or whether it was just the films themselves. I now see that it was Hayden Christensen that I didn't really like.

However, I think I can forgive the slightly poor acting of Christensen because the directing was absolutely out of this world. Doug Liman has done an excellent job of bringing this story to the screen. The jumping was incredible and it totally looked real (apart form one time when Christensen jumped over to the fridge, but that was his fault). I can't wait for the DVD so I might get some insight into how it was filmed because there are sequences when they are fighting and jumping simultaniously and my God they are good.

I kind of have mixed feelings about this film. But I think it is safe to say that the good out way the bad. Plus its got Samuel L. Jackson in it and he is definitly cool. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves action films, just don't say I didn't warn you though when your disapointed by the ending.
