One Paragraph Review: Jumper

If you buy the premise that comic book movies are basically always fun and enjoyable then you will like Jumper. I did. Don't look too deep into this movie about people who can teleport across the planet. If you do, the thing begins to fall apart. Only about half the characters have depth or are interesting. Samuel L. Jackson really plays the purest form of himself: badass black man with one-liners who never has any reason to explain his actions or reasons. But that's a good thing. Samuel L. is great! In many ways, this movie lacked the "umpf" you find in comic book movies such as X-Men and Spider-Man but it will still fun and the girl is pretty cute too.
