There's no way it can be worst than Spectre...right guys?

TotalFilm: 6/10 "Weakest Damon Bourne yet"

Christ

Summer 2016 is gonna go down as one of the worst moviegoing seasons in recent memory. Not a single great blockbuster. Big budget sequels and rehashes nobody asked for, mediocre talking animal animated films, a fuckin' Tarzan movie...even Spielberg and the Greengrass/Damon combo couldn't save us.

God help us all

Swiss Army Man was dope. If you didn't see it you are part of the problem.

 

[Dangansona]

Lolz nothing worse that that steaming pile of Spectre amirite?

Swiss Army Man was dope. If you didn't see it you are part of the problem.

Agreed, guess I'm not bothered because very little blockbusters interest me in the first place (I want to see Suicide Squad though).

 

[Triggerhappytel]

They should have brought Franka Potente back. The series drops like 2 letter grades as soon as she left.

It could be revealed that a secret government Treadstone brought her back to life, and trained her in secret to be really good at punching throats and driving in the wrong lane. And Matt Damon is in trouble probably. The Bourne Revelation. Classic 2016 movie.

Except it'll be called something different. Nachowedgie. Eastsocks. Nosehate. And he'll fight a bad dude who has a machete using only a phone charger cable. After running down the side of the Coliseum in Rome and getting away in a Fiat 500.

 

[Busty]

There's no way it can be worst than Spectre...right guys?

As long as they don't put up photocopies of pervious antagonists up on walls in the third act they should be fine.

 

[Timu]

62? It went down, WTF???

 

[Zakalwe]

I'd have loved this to continue the quality of the first 3. I enjoyed Legacy though, and a mediocre Bourne will be decent filler at the very worst.

Shame, but hopefully not quite as bad as reviews suggest.

 

[NealMcCauley]

I'm just hoping for some decent action scenes.

 

[kris.]

bought tickets for my dad for fathers day to see it with me thursday night. hope it doesn't disappoint, he's a massive fan of the original trilogy. reviews are looking meh, but i'm sure he'll still enjoy it.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

that's gotta hurt :/

That's honestly one of the most scathing reviews I've heard in a long time

 

[ViewtifulJC]

There's no way it can be worst than Spectre...right guys?

I straight up refuse to believe that. You can sooner sell me on the sun being green than that statement.

 

[EPaul]

What no! this was suppose to hold me over till Suicide Squad....

 

[Timu]

I refuse to believe it'll be lower than Spectre(which is 64%).

 

[Jeffrey]

I mean, what can you expect from a trailer with top class lines like 'we've been hacked, this could be worse than snowden'.

How's the action though?

 

[Beefy]

Is that a challenge?

I fell asleep in the cinema watching Spectre ( first time ever).

 

[ItIsOkBro]

There's no way it can be worst than Spectre...right guys?

As long as it has half decent action it can't be worse than Spectre..

So maybe the action sucks

Well at least all the bad reviews are somewhat entertaining

[Angel_DvA]

Jason Bourne is like SPECTRE without any of the good parts. And if you're saying to yourself, "SPECTRE has good parts?" then let me assure you, compared to Jason Bourne it does.

DAMNNNNNNNNNNNN...

This is what I expect, too. Paul Greengrass isn't afraid to bore an audience to death, but he doesn't make movies that are as offensively bad as Spectre. I eagerly anticipate watching this while folding laundry.

Right, I enjoyed Green Zone even if it wasn't their best work. I'm expecting something like that, with a tad more excitement.

 

[diamount]

A movie nearly 10 years after the last one is only going to mean one thing.

 

[Blader]

Meh, I thought Spectre was fine.

Civil War and Nice Guys tho

 

[M.W.]

Trailers/TV ads did nothing for me. Will still see.

 

[Lothars]

I did too, but not many on the forum did (or at least they aren't vocal enough).

Pretty much, it's the vocal ones that hate it. The none Vocal just don't say much about it and Spectre was pretty good.

 

[zeemumu]

Aren't the movies more or less the same?

"It's Jason Bourne!"

*Attempt to catch Bourne and his partner*

*Bourne evades capture and tells them to leave him alone*

*They leave him alone until they see him again*

 

[Discotheque]

Well this is hella disappointing. Still checking it out. Loved supremacy and ultimatum.

 

[bananafactory]

71% now

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Meh, up to 71% right now, so that's good. Still think I'll just add this to the "wait for bluray" list, like most of the movies this summer. For some reason knowing I get to keep the mediocrity forever makes the costs of seeing movies more palatable to me.

 

[OriginalThinking]

Swiss Army Man was dope. If you didn't see it you are part of the problem.

Great it may be, but a blockbuster it ain't.

 

[Timu]

73 now so it's getting up there folks.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

It's at 71% now.

The plot is nothing special unfortunately.

Matt Damon even went to Jonothan Nolan to come up with a plot, and he said there's nothing left to tell. Bournes story has been concluded in Ultimatum.

If this is Ultimatum part 2 with a weak plot and great action then I'm ok with it.

 

[BattleMonkey]

The trailers looked like every Borne movie. Random sneaking around shots, CIA like dudes looking at monitors "er mah gawd it's Bourne". Random parkoor and explosions.

 

[DragonSworne]

Should have put Jeremy Renner in it. Damon + Renner would be too good.

 

[Mengy]

Civil War and Nice Guys tho

Civil War wasn't summertime.

There really hasn't been a huge blockbuster this summer. There have been some decent films but nothing has broken out financially, or even critically.

 

[Timu]

It's at 71% now.

73.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

ITT: people still not knowing how RT works, where 3/5 "it was aight" get counted just the same as 9/10 "it was fantastic!"

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Suicide Squad has potential.

Jinxed it.

First week of May is start of summer movie season.

Though I just realized, The Nice Guys bombed, didn't it? Guess that would rule out blockbuster status, welp.

 

[old manatee]

Should have put Jeremy Renner in it. Damon + Renner would be too good.

Have they ever made a movie together? How would one even tell then apart?

 

[Zen_Arcade]

you guys let RT control your life waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much

I don't think helping me decide if I should see a movie or not is very much control.

It's not like we are letting it pick our major for college or something.

TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT TREADSTONE!

 

[kris.]

up to 73 70

off the ledge for now, people

 

[old manatee]

What if they made one starring Moby, and Matt Damon did the soundtrack?

 

[The Artisan]

i was on it just now, it says 70%.
