Darth Vader Vs Samuel L. Jackson, Round 2: Jumper

March 13, 2008

So I checked out Jumper as planned, and despite all the shit that was written about the movie, I had a good time. My expectations were low thanks to all the bad reviews the movie got, but to be honest: I think this Jumper thing has potential.

Lord Vader… Jjjjjuuumpp!

It kinda feels like the very first Star Wars movie. Let’s admit it, compared with the other movies from the far-far away galaxy, the first one was bullshit. It was the very first brick in the franchise, and that is why it is important. It had a lot of flaws, but it was enjoyable, and the whole world that was born with it is the most amazing one ever. That’s why nobody cares if it had issues… it gave us the coolest stuff out there: Darth Vader, Force, Jedi, LightSabers…

So now we have Jumper here… with a lot of questions, and almost no answers, a minor storyline, and a bunch of characters who don’t really show their true power. What’s with Griffin? What’s going to happen to Roland? What about David’s Mom? Pure StarWars my friends… and I really hope we’ll see a far-better sequel. As Jedi are Cool, so is Jumping!

Return of the Green Thing – Incredible Hulk!

March 13, 2008

I never watched the first Hulk movie packed with Eric Bana, although I really dig the guy… I just didn’t have interest in a CGI NeonGreen walking tank. But after some years, the green supermonster is back, with Edward “FightClub” Norton taking over Bana’s place… is it better? The first movie was crap… so my expectations for the second one are like the same, but since we have Edward and LivTyler here, this might be fun stuff to check out. Although it seems that it’s going to be CGI brawl once again, but hopefuly the guys behind the PCs will do a better job now…
