How to make an exciting film really dull

Rating: 5/10 (19 August 2012)

I loved the other Bourne films. Good stories and a little class to them, interesting and so on. This however had very no class and a story that is merely a vehicle for a sequel and was less than engaging.
I found it hard to put my finger on the problem with this film. It seemed, as with most of Hollywood recently, action film by numbers. It was as if they had allowed the film studies graduate to make this film and he just ticked off boxes that are supposed to equal a good action movie.
There were points I thought I was watching Terminator 2 but 20 years too late and more boring. The chase scenes went on too long. I could go on all night and not really manage to define what was wrong with it. I asked my girlfriend whether she would go to the next one and she said no. We both doubted they would make another after this one. But then, there are always people willing to waste their money being served up lazy films like this.
