Jumper review

This is just too funny not to quote. I didn't even see this movie, now I really don't want to.



"Eventually we meet Samuel L. Jackson, who is once again playing his bad-ass self, only this time he's got white hair and a mean streak. (Sam Jackson cheat-sheet: If he has a 'fro and a gun, you're watching Pulp Fiction. If he's limping, you're watching Unbreakable. If he's sweating and bluesy, you're watching Black Snake Moan. If he's wearing a brown robe, you're watching Episode III.) He catches another jumper (you mean there are more?) and stabs him in the chest, teaching the audience that jumpers can be temporarily stopped with electric shocks. As you can guess, this will be important later, so Jackson says, "It's kinda hard to jump with a thousand volts running through your brain." And then, in case it isn't clear that he has harsh feelings toward those who can teleport, he says, "I hate jumpers." We also come to understand that Jackson has religious motivations for this hatred: "Only God should have the power to be all places at all times." Heavy. Of course, Jackson and Anakin must meet and have a little fight. "
