Just below the mark

Rating: Null/10 (4 September 2012)

This movie was more a miss than hit.
(NOTE: I haven't watched the previous Bourne Series so I'm only basing it on what I have seen and understood in this movie.)
The movie started off like any 'interesting' movie would - with the usual question "who's that 'unknown' guy in the wilderness and what's he got to do with that secret organisation" that would be usually answered through subtle hints etc. - and it made me feel intrigued but then... as the movie progressed past the intro credits and 20 min later and even into the next hour, the questions still kept coming full throttle ~ "who is he really?", "what are those pills he is taking?" (that wasn't even answered until half way through the movie!), "why are they shutting the operation down - because of some video...w-what?", "what was the point of the wolves?"(am i looking too deep into that part - I dunno), "what is the plan 'against' the company now that they've spent the last bloody 2 1/2 hours running?" - these are just a small proportion of the questions that bombarded me while sitting in the cinema.
Okay so I make it sound like it was a non-conclusive movie (it kinda was) but it wasn't all that bad. It definitely did not lack on any of those impressive, way over the top (american/hollywood) stunt scenes (and my did that motorbike chase go on for ever) - sarcasm too prominent?
From the above, the plot/ progression of the movie was lacking in details. But the actors managed to make it quite bearable. Personally I didn't really like Jeremy Renner in his previous works but I must admit that he actually grew on me. His easy, cool charm and acting style managed to bring some life to the rather empty script/plot. Weisz didn't do that bad a job either. So - she played the science chick to the best of her ability (and quite well too) - but outside the lab she seemed a little clumsy (clearly not an action heroine - motorbike scene... hilarious in all her clumsiness)- but maybe that fits the whole science geek stereotype (?) but she complimented Renner well - you definitely need someone weak to make the impressive big guy look even bigger! =P
The ending of the movie was annoying as it solved nothing really - well okay so they managed to escape, I mean that seemed like the entirety of the plot with, of course,the gun shooting and the crazy motorbike chases where the other guy ( question: was he supposed to be like another crazy drugged up machine/man?) would always come back just when they think that they were free...

there was so much happening that the plot kind of got lost in between those shacks and crowded streets.

Okay so my review is a bit jumpy but hey, nothing is perfect (am I right Mr Bourne Legacy?)
Finally:
Story: 4 ~ Characters:5 ~ Acting: 7.5 ~ Music: (too caught up in everything else to really pay attention - my bad!) ~ Re-watch value: Low to medium ~ Enjoyment: 6.5 ~ Overall: 6/10
