yea i know i should be on film2007 tbh i think i speak the blunt truth nobody likes
hearing though
as a fan of the first film & second to a certain extent i just felt
this lacked that oomph and was far too much about cams shaking
and tracking people showing all the technology and how they are doing it
rather than seeing bourne own some people with his moves
which in my opinion is the best thing about the film the way he beats
gets away from people and so forth just wasn't too much of that going on really it is after all an action film so i expect action not arty farty camera work.
And i standby my transformers review adamantly.

Your film taste is imo a little off. As is your writing, it hardly gives the impression of an intelligent critique (no offence). It was never meant to be a brainless action flick, it was designed as a thinking-mans action flick.

----------------------------------------

Anyway I watched the premiere and it was as stonking as i'd been led to believe... a truly climactic sequel. Everything from script to dialogue to action was pretty much near-flawless, without needing to do any hand-holding to the audience. It assumed you were intelligent enough to keep up with it (sorry C64) and then ran. 9/10 from me. :)

Slightly dissappointed by the ending.

We didn't really find out anything extra about bourne's past. Nothing that we couldn't have guessed already.

Could have been better I felt. Also they seemed to be using google maps in their center in london which was hilarious lol.

I think it lacked something that the first two films had but I can't really work out what.

The employment of a camera man with Parkinsons disease did nothing for me either really.

Still a good film but just not worth the hype that surrounds it. It's like the VW of the German motor industry. It's really no better than a Ford or a Vauxhall but people pay stupid prices for lego these days (if you get my drift).

Can you compare TF and BU? Not really, two totally different films but admittedly, TF was a complete breath of fresh air. :)

Thought it was pretty brainless and some of the dialogue was cheesy and dull. Not much to keep up with tbh! I'm starting to like it actually, I'm convinced that the 'understatedness' vibe of the whole film is meant to reflect Bourne's own dissappointment and exhaustion after he realises his mission for redemption was a complete waste of time.

Not as slick as the first one for sure.

Ending was a anti-climax but i quite liked how the incorporated the ending of the second film into the middle of the third one. That explained a bit for sure.

The story was good but the constant shakey--cam and stop start cutting made both my wife and I feel ill. Sat it out to see how the story ended but in all seriousness if you are vulnerable to visual disturbance, epilepsy etc. this may not be for you, at least at the cinema. Probably okay on a TV screen where you can get up and walk around or glance away more easily.
 
Watched it last night, have to say i was quite impressed with it...on par with the other 2 before it. Best bit for me was the Tangiers scene where the asset was after Nikky and Bourne was trying to get to her before the asset did...some great scenes in that.

Didnt get a chance to watch it in the UK so ended up going to the cinema here in Toronto...where me and my bro literally had the whole place to ourselves:p.
 
Saw this a few hours ago. It by far is my favorite trilogy. It actually linked together with the other two and had a very strong story to it (unlike Matrix which I felt totally lost it half way through the second film one).

It wrapped things up well, and the action scenes were very cool. I did think it was quite funny we had lots of European cities there.

By the way - I never used to have a thing for Julia Stiles, but PWOAH!
