My Name is Bourne. James Bourne

Rating: 4/10 (16 November 2008)

Loaded with spoilers; read AFTER you see this muddled mess. First, if it was a sequel that drew upon the death of Vespa, why not show some sort of flashback so we could have at least had some sort of attachment to her or the scenario? As it was, the audience don't remember her from the last movie, nor care. So, Bond was married to her? The movie jumped to this location from that location, with seemingly no real reason for it. Just like Matt Damon's Bourne and so other similar reasons. And palease! Mr. Greene is the Bond movie villain? Are you kidding? In the past, Bond movies gave rise to villains that were hell bent on taking over the world. These eccentric psychopaths that wouldn't think twice of pushing a button and watching someone drop into a shark tank to be eaten in their evil lusts to take over the world and now this? Mr. Greene reminded me of Sully, the inept crock-wanna be, who "The Terminator" said that he liked, so he was going to kill him last. A chump, yes. A Bond villain, no! I mean, did we need two movies to tell this guy's story? He wants to take over the fresh water of South America so a few Peruvian pessants won't have wash day water! (Yawn). And Bond never says, even if a bite trite, we expect and demand it, that is him saying, "My name is Bond. James Bond." Then Bond leaves him in the dessert with a can of motor oil saying that he would walk 20-miles before he drank it. Well, he did apparently drink it but then, had two bullets in him! He did that? We never find out who and guess what, who cared! This entire mess, though directed with some sort of semblance to a Bond movie suffers enourmously from a very badly written Bond movie. Finally, the title: Quatum of Solice. What was wrong with naming the movie so it made 'Bond sense' such as "Another Way to Die?" That would've followed the Bond mystique of movie naming. Instead, the newest Bond entry merely gives us a..., "Quantum Leap into Mediocrity."
