The Bourne Ultimatum

Just saw the trailer when watching Transformers, looks great, it will be the shame this will be the end of the trilogy, though it looks like it ties it all up by remembering who he is and the finds the person who makes him the killing machine he is...

Never read the books so dont know how well these films are true to them. Definitely how modern day action films should be done...

Having read the books, the films have taken the charcter names a few concepts, bits of the plot and well er thats it imo. I found them three pretty boring books.

When I read the Ultimatum, I assumed they had finished the film franchise at the 2nd one and wouldn't do the third for various reasons. I can't even hint any spoilers from the book for this one as I guess it will be that different.
 
I don't know.

Film 1: He's out to find his back story and who wants to kill him.
Film 2: He's out to find who wants to kill him / killed his girl.
Film 3: He's out to find who wants to kill him.

They're all the same story line. (Just looking at the trailer for 3rd)

Bond > Bourne.

I thought the Bourne supremecy was a good read, nothing at all like the film though

Don't normally quote and run, but that sums up exactly what I was going to say! :p
 
I loved the first two films but was worried when I heard a third was to be made because I didn't expect it to live up to the previous two. Having looked at the reviews this film is receiving it seems to be the best of the lot. 94% on Rotten Tomatoes and 89% on IMDB. Can't wait :D
 
I saw the proper theatrical trailer the other day while waiting for Transformers to start.

I can say, it is going to rock big time. The whole story wrapped up. I have seen and read many things about this film and I belive it will be carried on like the Bond franchise.

Now Bourne knows who he is, I would suspect him to carry out further "tasks" of his own accord. It would make for a great series of movies. I still dont mind them leaving it at the 3rd film but more will be most welcome aslong as they are shot, filmed and written like the 1st two and possibly the third.

Bourne>Bond>24 bloke>Norris.
 
Over on Rotten Tomatoes this got a nice set of reviews (94%) :D

I hope they do a fourth now (there's 4 books I think).. who knows, they might call it day after this.

Only the three books mate. I have the Borune Legacy hardback.

Unless someone can tell me otherwise:)

Nice idea but I dont know, the whole point of the films is for him to rediscover who he is and I assume that in this film aswell as finding out who he is he puts away anybody that was involved in Treadstone (well in the CIA).

The only problem I have with extending the Bourne universe is that it goes against tho whole thread of the films if he goes after other sleeper cells since he has no real issue with them until they get in his way.

Perhaps thats what could happen at the end that all sleepers are reactivated to kill Bourne and so he has to go on the run. Kinda an empty eventual ending though when hes killed all these trained assassins.

Sounds more like a TV series than film fodder though - rather have that then tarnish the main films...
