Movie Reviews

Reviewed by imseeg 6 / 10

The worst of the entire series. Kinda boring at moments and simply nothing else but an inferior mashup copy of earlier editions.

The bad: this (final?) edition of the Bourne series is an inferior mashup of all the ingredients found in the much better original first movie.They are using the exact same story, same situations, same music, same plot turns etc... I was contineously wondering when the "new" movie would start? It wouldnt though. This movie is simply nothing else but a100% COPY PASTE operation from older material. Bummer.Surely not terribly bad as a movie on itself, but certainly the worst (or one of the worst) Bourne edition ever, because it is missing good creative writing. It is missing spark. It is missing real suspense.Not any good at all? The leading actors (Tommy Lee Jones, Vincent Cassel and Alicia Vikander) all deliver solid acting performances. It is THEY who prevent this movie from becoming a dud.The chase sequences are great as well. There are only 2 of them, which are both quite thrilling to watch though. So it's not all bad for sure...hence the 6 stars...Many of the old fans have been yearning for a sequel for years...me included, but you cant always get what you want... because you cant always revive the glorious past.Better watch the very first Bourne movie instead and you'll be surprised how strong that movie still stands till this very day!

This is a good dish of leftovers

Jason Bourne wants so hard to believe in its own supremacy, forces an ultimatum of thrills and spills, but ultimately lacks identity. The original trilogy still stands out as one of the most intelligent post-Cold War spy action thrillers and it mostly succeeded in being the last word in the genre. Its huge success and relevance also gave the Bond franchise a big wake-up call. Amnesia-assassin Bourne is the real thang!So 9 years later, Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon decided it is opportune time to inject a dose of Bourne-adrenaline and his extreme ways into us. The only problem is that instead of innovation and reinvention, it serves up last night's fried rice paradise. One shouldn't mess with paradise! Greengrass regurgitates out plot points from the three predecessors. From Operation Threadstone to Operation Blackbriar, we get yet another black-ops organisation called Ironhand that wants to stay hidden and will whack anyone to Kingdom Come to prevent its knowledge from getting out. It once again exploits Bourne's amnesia as he glimpses yet another piece of his jigsaw mind-puzzle. We get the same old CIA foggies uttering "Where's Bourne?" and everyone wearing pained expressions as Bourne evades everyone in Athens, Berlin, London and Las Vegas. We get yet again a woman who thinks she know best but Alicia Vikander has none of the gravitas of Joan Allen because she is too young to be convincing. The screenplay does offer up an promising post-Snowden scenario but it still feels a little too familiar. These issues aside the movie is still a pulsating ride. The pace is relentless and Damon's taciturn Bourne still represents a driving force of reckoning. The spycraft and action set-pieces ooze uber-coolness and you will want to see it again just to catch how they did it. However I have one major complaint - I absolutely abhor the schizophrenic editing and jumpy hand-held shots. The camera never stays still for more than two seconds for you to marvel at the fight choreography and the vehicle mayhem-chases. In my book, hand-held shots coupled with split-second cuts are the cheapest type of cheat codes in action thrillers. With these type of cinematic trickery anybody can be a martial arts exponent and a world-class spy. No class. This is a good dish of leftovers. It may harken you back to the days of the original trilogy but it never truly pushes the character to a new frontier re-examining his psychological state. In the end, a dish of leftovers will still serve its purpose, especially when you are famished.
