Attention Span? What happened to Them?

For some reason, somewhere/when/one in Hollywood decided that 90 minutes was the optimal length a movie should be. Even in superlative films like LOTR and The GodFathers, there are always people bitching about it being too long. This is an issue that drives me nuts because JUMPER really needed another half hour or so to provide exposition, and answer questions that remain unanswered due to this inane 90 minute time limit. All in all, an interesting plot, decent acting, cool locations, very thin in development. Realistically, this is a film for those of us who can shut off expectations and simply enjoy some widely improbable events. An art-house film it is not, nor does it try to be, to its credit. I would really like to see a sequel to this film, as the storyline has been established, and I seriously doubt my semi-Rant about movie lengths will change anything. An enjoyable premise, I just wish it had more time to develop.....

Perfect example of 'How to ruin a hopeful script?'

Jumper is a Sci-Fi movie directed by Doug Liman and stars Hayden Christensen, Jamie Bell, Samuel L. Jackson and Rachel Bilson.To be honest i am very disappointed with the execution of the movie considering the superb plot they have and they could've made a superb movie but all we got is this special powered hero who jumps into banks to rob them, into colosseum to impress girlfriend, in oceans to enjoy the tides and where-ever our he wanted to jump. Our hero is being chased by sad face white haired (trying to enact like agent Smith minus the white hair) Paladin (Jackson) who are assigned to kill jumpers as they think that only God must have such power but for unknown reasons, maybe just because they don't have this special abilities to jump any where to impress their girlfriend or rob banks, or they have been appointed by God because as per the Paladins only God should have the power of telekinetic.The screenplay is week and the character development is poor, the director had failed to communicate the viewers the reason how the jumpers got their power and why Paladin wanted to kill them. Acting is just average and Samuel L. Jackson is wasted, Rachel Bilson irritates, Jamie Bell was decent but his whereabouts at the end of the movie is still a mystery. The climax suggests that the director was in a hurry to wrap up the shooting hence hurriedly and abruptly ends the movie with certain unanswered doubts.Overall the movie is a disappointment on many fronts and i will said again that they have ruined a beautiful script which could've been turned into a memorable movie. Could be watched once
