Default The Bourne Ultimatum

AWESOME.

I was able to see a private screening last night at the "Premium" theater my girlfriend works at. This just means that they have extremely comfortable seats (and couches) with little tables in front of you and they have "real" food. Not just popcorn. Chicken, burgers, steak, fries, onion rings, etc.

Anyway - the movie was great. It definitely lives up to the other Bourne movies and may even surpass them. This one has the best hand-to-hand fight scene in any of the Bourne movies. Their is one chase scene that left a lot to be desired and another one that was just freakin' insane.

I'm gonna have to see this again before I can rank it with the other two movies. I definitely recommend this one. Just don't go expecting a blow-'em-up, mindless action movie. There are no needless explosions. There are no hidden wires and Matt Damon elevating in the air to kick someone. You get the point.

AWESOME is right! 100% right! Non-stop action.

I watched Damon interview on Leno and he said, "go to the bathroom before the movie, because you won't want to leave" and he was absolutely right. Thank God I didn't drink anything

What was most impressive was the timeline and how they wove this final installment into the second....fantastic.

This is probably one of the best (if not the best) trilogy ever made.

If they make a fourth it will be without Matt Damon:

And I think you should put a "spoiler" warning in your post.




*SPOILER BELOW*



If they make a fourth it will be stupid and just milking the cow for all its worth. They gave us closure. Bourne knows who and what he is. It's a great ending to the trilogy.

"If they make a fourth it will be stupid and just milking the cow for all its worth." --- I'm sure they said that about making a part 3. As far as a spoiler? For what, shaky camera crap? lol Ken

There were three original Bourne books done by the original author and three Bourne movies. That's why I said making a fourth would be "milking the cow for all it is worth". Three books. Three movies. Makes sense, no?

Again - *SPOILER*














By saying "Get ready for a fourth" that pretty much tells everyone he lives at the end of this one which gives away the ending.

Interesting article ---

The Bourne Ultimatum ? All along, they’ve been calling this the summer of threes ? You know how “they” can be, putting things into tidy little boxes. And they focused mainly on the ballyhooed blockbusters that came out at the beginning of the summer: third installments in the “Spider-Man,” “Shrek” and “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchises. But now as we’re creeping into August, traditionally a dumping-ground time at the movies, we have easily the best threequel of all. “The Bourne Ultimatum” kicks all of their butts ? literally and figuratively. It’s the first one that doesn’t feel like a dragged-out continuation of a series, but rather a climactic, satisfying culmination. (Though, who knows? The ending does leave the door open for the possibility of “Bourne 4.”) Paul Greengrass, who also directed part two, 2004’s “The Bourne Supremacy,” as well as the riveting “United 93,” continues to prove himself a master of mood. He’s done something astonishing here: He’s made an action film that’s both delicate and aggressive, a difficult balance to strike. It’s all stuff you’ve seen before ? car chases, fistfights, international jet-setting and spy vs. spy intrigue ? but it’s so expertly crafted and the cast is so superb that “Bourne Ultimatum” exceeds all expectations of the genre. Matt Damon remains a strong, stoic force in the center as the amnesiac assassin of Robert Ludlum’s novels, still seeking answers about his past. David Strathairn, Joan Allen and Julia Stiles co-star. PG-13 for violence and intense sequences of action.

Well, I have no control over your posts but now if anyone who hasn't seen it comes in here to read a review they'll know a major part of the movie.

And it is the "BOURNE" series so if Jason Bourne had died... not much sense in more Bourne movies.
