Jumper

Okay, I haven't been here in about 12 million years and I'm back to rant ... and apologize for the absence.

First the rant.
I just watched this movie called "Jumper," starring Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bilson. For those who don't know what it's about, basically there are teleporters and people who try to kill the teleporters. David (Hayden Christensen), found out he was a jumper when he was 15, ran away from home, started robbing banks to make his own life better, and tried to get the girl of his childhood to fall in love with him. Well, one day the best teleporter killer found David and was tracking him throughout the movie. David befriended another jumper and convinced him to help him find the girl of his childhood and rescue her from the really good jumper killer. The jumper killer was angry because he doesn't believe jumpers should have the power that they do so he feels that he has to kill them all. Also, as a side note, David's mom turns out to be a jumper killer, which is why she left him with his father at 5. Anyway, there are big fights, lots of explosions, romance, and betrayal, but there's no actual story. David manages to escape the main jumper killer by stranding him in the grand canyon and gets his childhood love to accept him as a jumper and the movie ends. NOTHING HAPPENED. There was no intricate story, no twists, or loop holes. The ending wasn't satisfying. He didn't kill the jumper killer (even though the jumper killer killed David's dad), he didn't kill his mom ... and the worst of it all, that one girl from the Twilight series was in it. I had to stare at her face for about 5 minutes. (Anyone noticed she always looks like she hasn't slept since age 6, gets stoned all day, and has just gotten out of the shower?) Ugh. I was waiting for a climax and something that would make David exert some extreme jumper action but NO. It was a great movie, a would-have-been-great storyline, neat characters, fun and involving plot, but NO. They didn't go ANYWHERE with this movie. It just ENDED. He held her had, jumped, and END. I was mad.

Anyway, I apologize for the absence. Like I've said before, I'm in college and don't have much time for my blog. :[, anyway, I needed the rant. Bye!
