Jason Boring at this point. The movies were getting repetitive and derivative of the whole spy/assassin on the run from his own organization by the second movie. This is the fifth and the trailers were already playing like parodies of the older movies.

I can't wait to see Jason Bourne beat another super assassin from another shady government group to death with a foot long purple dildo before running/driving away from danger at high speeds while everyone is shocked its Jason Bourne. Then it ends.

you know i could say that same thing about uncharted games. i can't wait to see drake get with an old associate who ends up betraying him during the campaign and fighting for his life and treasure all the while pissing his associate turned enemy off.
 
Saw it yesterday. It wasn't that good. A decent action flick, but the worst Bourne movie.

It's dumb, the plot is really obvious and it ends in a stupid cliffhanger.

2,5/5. Would be 2/5 without Greengrass' direction.

At least the UC games have a rather boisterous and entertaining cast of characters and some fairly well written banter to keep things moving and enjoyable.

yeah coz uncharted is a "light hearted romp". nicky is a compelling character too and they made her more and more important as the franchise went on.

The UC games are light hearted romps despite the more serious themes that crept into the series. Even the last game was still full of tons of funny banter even during incredibly "dangerous" set pieces which is kind of a given for the series. Then again I was never a huge fan of the Bourne movies, I thought they were mostly terribly shot films after the first.

This isn't really true. In the first he wasn't really on the run because he didn't even know who he was up against. He was just trying to find a place to settle, remember who he was, and keep Marie safe. But I guess you could say he was running away from something. In the second, they actually forced him to leave a safe place and find those responsible for killing Marie. He wasn't trying to escape anything. And in Ultimatum you could say he was actually chasing them. He was running after them. The bike chase and the roof chase: he was actually hunting instead of being the hunted.

However, from the trailers I agree Jason Bourne looks derivative. As much as I want this to be good, I agree with Jonathan Nolan: Jason Bourne didn't need a fourth movie.

My point was that after the first movie they basically just aped the basic style and idea and kept stretching an already thin premise out to 5 movies. It was already fairly lame by the second movie but they just kept having more super assassins for him to fight, more car chases and so on. The first Bourne was kind of refreshing with a spy having to use a map and being more grounded but after that it they just rang out every drop of interesting material by the third movie and it was damn near bone dry by that point.

Worst Bourne movie as in worse than Legacy?

I think so. I can't remember that much from Legacy (must've been a hangover movie). Though I've given it a 2,5/5 as well. So it's probably around there.

And this is Jason Bourne. It's the same old Bourne again. It's just even more stupid this time.
 
:(

I only watched the trilogy (which I loved) + Legacy for the first time last month and had high hopes for this one.

Will still eventually watch it because it's, uh, a movie, so it won't hurt me!

Still would have been nice to hear positive thoughts about the plot.

Everyone who learns about Treadstone ends up dead. Everybody.

The stakes have never been higher than they are right now, although the stakes may continually raise higher from this point, moving forward.
 
LOL, damn @ that Spectre comment. Spectre was probably one of the most boring action movies I've seen in a long time. I usually finish every movie I watch and I even enjoyed QoS but I just couldn't make it through Spectre.
 
Still early, waiting on a few reviewers I follow to chime in, but so far pretty mixed. It seems like "it's fine" is what it ends up with, and I still need to see Star Trek before I see a movie that's just "fine."
 
I'd be interested in a movie called The Bourne Infancy, about how Matt Damon and Jeremy Renner were grown in the same Treadstone petri dish, and then it is revealed that Eddie Murphy is also their twin.
 
Well Tony Gilroy didn't write it, so there's your problem. Then again he did write and direct Legacy....

No wonder why Bourne has 25 lines. Can't think of a clever plot except shove this whole war on terror stuff down our throats.
 
When did the movies get so shakycam heavy? Starting with Ultimatum? I don't remember the first couple being as severe in that dept.

This next one should be called the Bourne Necromancy because they keep dragging this corpse out to try and revive it.

The second one, which I think is the worst offender of it personally.

I actually sat in the cinema in the front row to watch that movie when it first came out. Now I love Supremacy, it's my favourite of the bunch, but that first viewing was HARD.
 
Supremacy is far from being completely shaky cam. There are a lot of still shots. And by a lot, I mean a lot. There was even an analysis from some film reviewer who said the same thing.

It's been ages since I've seen them, but I remember being unable to tell what was going on during at least a couple action sequences in Supremacy, like the fight with the magazine or book or whatever it was, while in Ultimatum I could at least follow what was happening. Maybe I was just more used to the style at that point.

These comments make me sad, Spectre is one of the only two Bond movies I like.

Haha, same I usually finish watching movies like 99% of the time, but I just got so bored of Spectre that I stopped like halfway through. Doesn't bode well for Bourne.
 
Fat chance in hell Damon and Greengrass come back for another, even if the studio wants them to continue making more.

My bet is that they'll reboot the franchise.
 
Maybe they could make one called The Bourne Automation where Treadstone replaces Matt Damon with a robot Casey Affleck and he doesn't remember who he is or why he has so many passports.
