Liked it, not perfect.

Rating: 7/10 (7 April 2013)

I'll start off positive-- I liked Bourne Legacy. There, I said it.
Bourne Legacy--had it come out right after Bourne Identity-- is a fine enough film in its own right. It is more character-based and Jeremy Renner does a pretty good job with his role (as he usually does). Legacy, however, is going to suffer in the eyes of most fans of the franchise because of the ridiculously high bar set by Ultimatum. The director tries to tie Legacy to the other films with occasional references to both Supremacy and Ultimatum, but the problem is that this film has almost nothing to do with Bourne in the direct sense. Thus, the attempts at tying this film in so directly with the others almost makes Legacy seem even more ancillary to the other three in the franchise... "Here's what happening in Germany right now, so we are going to SE Asia."
For the hardcore Matrix fans, you could make a comparison of "Enter the Matrix" and the film trilogy to Bourne Legacy and the original three. Not necessarily a bad thing, but certainly not of the same "oomph".
If you watch the original three Bourne films, there is a cinematographic progression where the cameras become more frantic and shaky from one film to the next, matching the action and intensity of the story. In Legacy, the story is much smaller and more compact, meaning the cameras are more fluid and smooth. In essence, it would be like watching the trilogy and then going back and re-watching Identity immediately afterward... after the hectic nature of Ultimatum, Identity feels very slow-moving and less adrenaline filled. Take that to the next level for Legacy.
Final word: Good, but not perfect... probably would have fared better if not for the monumental expectation created by Ultimatum.
