doesn't do justice to its name

Rating: 4/10 (2 December 2012)

Bourne legacy...ironically the movie seems to be to obsessed with Jason Bourne,the original protagonist of the Bourne trilogy. the first fifteen minutes of the movie sets the tone of trying to hold onto the elements of the trilogy and really disrupts the flow of the movie. the story is set at the same time as that of the third Bourne film,Bourne ultimatum . however that's the biggest weakness of the movie as it always makes you question why it exists in the first place and not a fourth installment of Jason Bourne. an independent story with much much less reference to Jason Bourne would have been much better.
however the Jeremy renner and Rachel weisz do give some life to their characters in a story without much cohesive plot or direction to it(ed Norton doesn't have much to do other than staring at screens).the movie does seem to go through the motions from beginning to climax without any twists . it rates average on action sequences. it doesn't live up to the standards of the Bourne series. just don't go in with much expectations and you might survive the two hours of this movie
happy watching...
