Plus, does he have to end every film walking off into the distance with a bullet inside him (to the Moby soundtrack)?

It felt like the original trilogy came to a natural conclusion, difficult to see where the story had left to go.

<double post- for novelty I’ll remove the original>

I enjoyed it. Bit overdependant on “don’t stop or they’ll have time to think” and like the renner one it’s lost the plot a bit on the driving scenes, half the point of the early films was it stayed within the bounds of credibility- it was a stretch but it was conceivable. This one’s got too much csi (they very nearly create a gui using visual basic to track an IP, it felt almost like an injoke), too much fast and furious and yep too much bond. But for me it didn’t take too much away from it

Chrisl’s comment on the tradecraft was spot on- Bourne looks as shifty as ****, a HMV security guard would spot something out of the ordinary 😆

*downloads black op folder*

Exactly! It’s like, I don’t keep my bestiality porn in a folder called Northwind’s Bestiality Porn, it’s filed away under Boring System Files.

I did like that <spoilers> there’s basically 2 completely separate plots; there’s the one about facebook, and there’s the one about Bourne. And Bourne actually couldn’t give a shit about facebook. He’s still all about treadstone, which ironically pretty much everyone else has forgotten about apart from tommy lee jones and French Clive Owen

Not overly excited about this one but the accountant looks pretty smokin.

There is basically no plot, a decent intense action film but no more, some of the hacking and the car chase check rear view mirror “oh he’s catching I’d better drop the box” stuff was very cringeworthy. I’m pretty sure there’ll be another, Bourne goes full circle.

I was not a fan of it. It was basically 2 hours of people following people. I liked the 1st three a lot, I even liked the Jeremey Renner one. this one was not that great in my opinion.

Bourne goes full circle.

That’s what I thought. He’ll be back as an agent in the next one – they can’t string this amnesia thing out anymore!

“Enhance…”

In an otherwise rubbish film that bit did make me laugh. Surely a deliberate nod?

The last ‘Bourne’ was ace. Not sure the amnesia thing can be peddled on anymore..

I enjoyed it…perhaps not as much as the first three…but i still really enjoyed it. Know what you mean about the car chase scene tho.
The girl at the bureau was smoking hot – i liked her a lot!

Very disappointed. I might even go as far to say that I preferred Jeremy Renners Bourne Legacy. NVM.

It was dull. ‘Now it ends’. ‘This ends now’. ‘Finish it in 24 hours’ etc etc. Legacy was poor. But ‘Jason Bourne’ was just…miserable. Could have been so good. But the ‘plot’ and the lack of any real intrigue or suspense made it a real disappointment.

Having said that, it lost me in the first act with ‘use SQL to corrupt their database’. If Mr Robot can make hacking credible and interesting on screen how come Jason Bourne couldn’t?

WARNING SPOILERS It was alright. But they basically just did a slightly shit remake of Supremacy. Is it wrong that I was glad I Julia Stiles got shot she really annoyed me in the original trilogy?

I would like to pass a message on to Hollywood…make something new.

Jeremy Renners version is highly watchable. When I first hear that was the next one I though going to be one of those poor sequels

There is basically no plot

Not quite true, granted it was pretty much the same plot at all the others, but there is a plot.

Was OK, shaky-cam was a bit annoying and over used, it is as if modern directors have decided they must have a really obvious “signature” Abrahms has lens flare, Edgar Wright has those annoying cut shots and Bay blows “everything” up. there was fighting, car chases, double crossing and cliches…Everything you need in a Hollywood spy movie.

It’s a pop corn movie, just right for STW as Matt Damon is now the same ages as most of them

The last ‘Bourne’ was ace. Not sure the amnesia thing can be peddled on anymore..

No he has full recall now…

SPOLIERS AHEAD

Surely the chap he hooked up with in Germany to look at the files was as paranoid as he appeared he wouldn’t have an internet connection when putting a strange device into his computer & given the hassle I have trying to get my phone to intentionally connect to my computer I found that was a leap too far.

Considering he has gone off grid again, just how easy was into find him!
Why didn’t he and the girlie handler think of wearing hoodies … everyone other 13 yr old knows that this means the fact can be obscured.
And when they were in Greece, how did the baddies know exactly where they were going ?

I love the Bourne films. I even don’t mind the Jeffery Renner now.
This was rubbish …

Looks quite interesting but half of my brain was thinking of Vanilla Sky all the way through that trailer as they used the same music.

Just back from seeing it I thought it was excellent 8)

Same break neck action and fighting shit as previous three .. And the eye candy(girl from ex-machina) played a good part.. Roll on the fifth movie 😀

I thought it was actually quite poor. The Jeremy Renner one is loads better.
Recycled plot ending with same hotel confrontation/discussion as the first 2. Too much computer/tech BS. Baseball cap and looking at the floor is apparently all you need to fool the CIA. Final car chase was just too ‘big’.

Basically it seemed like it was cynically stitched together from Bourne movie tropes but it just didn’t work for me. The appeal of Bourne is that he’s not Bond and this was a bit too Bond.

Lastly, why do they never learn their lesson? Why do people keep saying things like “Well, if Bourne’s a problem we’ll just take him out” when every single team they have sent against him in the last 15 years ends up the same way?

And those passports he has must have all expired by now! 😀

Endured the first hour, then walked out. The first time I have done this in over forty years of independent film-going. This says a lot, normally my feeling is all film should be given a chance to the bitter end, but it looked like Bourne had dropped about 100 IQ points.

The new Star Trek is much more worthwhile.
