VIDEO: MOVIES: REVIEW: The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)
[IMDB tie up] [Netflix link] I completely despised The Bourne Agreement, finding it utterly pointless, and being sinker unable to care about a character enshrouded in a enigma with no real explanation. I need to grasp WHY. I actually gave it only 2 stars on Netflix, which is RARE, as most movies get a “generic archaic” from me. But The Bourne Supremacy explained some of these issues, and was indeed enjoyable. As a completist, this makes it illogical NOT to watch the 3rd movie in the series, and it did not let us down.
PEOPLE: Matt Damon, of procedure. Julia Stiles, who I like. And they old someone who writes 24 episodes in this big — too lazy to look up his name, but it plainly showed through. Maybe it was our mood, but it felt more like 24 than the prior 2 Bourne movies had.
BAD STUFF: Nothing, really. The first silent picture f’ed up so badly in not explaining things to my joy, but “3rd time is the charm”, as they say. I remember this is the best yet, and am looking forward to the upcoming fourth installment in the franchies.
CONCLUSION: It was the most enjoyable of the 3. It’s rare that a franchise gets crap-shooter with each movie, and even rarer when the rest of the planet agrees with me. (The Matrix trilogy and Saw movies are orderly examples of when I disagree with everyone else, thinking each continual movie better than the last)
RECOMMENDATION: Even if you hated The Bourne Personality, or even if you hated the first two — see this. It’s far beat than the previous ones!
FRIENDS’ RATINGS: Looks like everyone liked it: Scott S loved it. Benj actually liked it. Ian really liked it. Jordan unqualifiedly liked it. Tatiana really liked it. Wayne H unquestionably liked it. Rebekah really liked it. Metinee liked it.
Inclination: satiated
