Ruining a great idea

Rating: 3/10 (5 January 2006)

When I went to this movie, I had read the book and was expecting something similar in plot. The first twenty or thirty minutes are great, I couldn't have made them better myself. Then it goes off and doesn't even include the main enemy of Bourne from the book. That's like filming the Lord of the Rings and making Denethor the main antagonist instead of Sauron! This movie was a wasted opportunity for greatness. Why would a director make a movie and throw away the very plot that made the plot worthy of filming? This is what is wrong with Hollywood. They fear new things in the film industry and whenever possible they twist these new ideas into the same rubbish they've been spewing for decades. They took a plot full of intrigue and suspense and made it into the average action movie with the merest hint of a twist to make it a little different.
