Jumper (2008)

Director: Doug Liman
Writer: Novel: Steven Gould Screenplay: David S. Goyer, Jim Uhls, Simon Kinberg
Cast: Hayden Christensen, Jamie Bell, Rachel Bilson, Samuel L. Jackson, Diane Lane, Michael Rooker
Genre: Action, Sci-Fi, Adventure, Thriller

Jumper starts out with half an idea, and quickly turns into a hopeless mess. Add the fact Hayden Christensen now stars among the likes of Aaron Eckhart, Gerard Butler and Ashton Kutcher on my disliked actors list, Jumper is very quickly gaining ground as one of the worst movie I've recently seen.

The pace is more annoying than refreshing for the story, the Sci-Fi elements are not well enough put together and the ancient fight between the Jumpers and their hunters are less than satisfyingly deep. Movies like these might gain some entertaining level on their action sequences, but in this case they are equally weak as the rest.
