Disappointing movie.

Rating: 1/10 (13 September 2009)

Having read the book, and watched the original 2 part mini series starring Richard Chamberlain and Jaclyn Smith, I was sort of expecting a disappointing movie, and its pretty much everything I knew it would be. The Matt Damon version does NOTHING to explain who Jason Bourne is, or how he came to lose his memory, and is "loosely" based on the book much the same way that a Big Mac combo is "loosely" described as "food". The plot is weak, and the storyline doesn't explain anything. The main character is portrayed as a man who has lost his memory while on a mission to kill someone. No mention of the identity of the target is made, or why Jason Bourne was sent to kill him in the first place, and Jason Bourne's real name isn't mentioned either. If you want the REAL version, I seriously recommend that you watch the original 2 part mini-series, cos that IS taken directly from the book. If the next two movies are anything like the first then I wont be watching them.
