Jumper Again

I did go to the movie version of Jumper. It had nothing to do with the book. I think there were about three or four scenes from the book in the movie, all at the very beginning. The characters were all completely different, although they had the same names.

In general the movie was pretty bad. The story was full of logic holes. The characters were completely unbelievable. The dialogue was badly written. The acting was stilted–not even Samuel L. Jackson could make his character remotely believable. On the plus side, the special effects were generally pretty good.

Also on the plus side, the story was so completely unlike the book that it doesn’t spoil the book.

Don’t go to this movie, even if it is still in the theaters. Save your money.
