Why do Jumpers have superhuman resistance against electric shock? They can withstand repeated tasering and full-on electrocution by short circuiting a major powerline?

Exactly. Especially since it is fairly easy to actually kill someone with a regular security grade taser.

The bit where David throws Griffin into the coil on the power line is just incredibly stupid. He would be killed on the spot - hell, he would probably be burnt to a crisp in an instant. Sigh…

Bourne identity was actually a pretty decent action flick. But I guess when they say “by the creators of” they don’t actually mean that the same crew did the movie.

Same guy directed both movies, but the writing credits are totally different. And while the direction is important, there is not much you can do if the script totally sucks.

There is one trick you can do when you have a shitty script - make the movie in a silly, campy way never treating it seriously. That can sometimes work - but you must really dig dip into the kitschy and cliche to make that happen.

Why did SLJ and Diane Lane take such craptastic roles? I guess they have become C and D list actors?

Re: Ending, Wikipedia says Jumper was supposed to be the first of a trilogy. Good luck with that!

Oh well. I’ve had a crush on Rachel Bilson since the OC, a show with equally nonsensical characters.
