Great. But not Bourne great.

Rating: 7/10 (16 August 2012)

So I saw Bourne Legacy being a die hard, crazy Bourne fan. I consider the Bourne trilogy one of my favorite trilogies of all time because it is just fantastic. So its safe to say I had high expectations. So how was this film? It was good overall but it is a tiny bit disappointing knowing this is from the Bourne series. As a normal, generic spy film it's up there because it is smart and interesting at times and it is acted well and the dialogue was written well but the story was not. They show pictures of Matt Damon to remind us that it is still part of the Bourne series but to me that's just not good enough. I was upset at the lack of Matt Damon in this film but that was not going to ruin it for me. What ruined it was the ENDING! There's a sweet action scene then bam! Credits roll. It leaves you like "Wha?" Also, there is a lack of action in this film for me. And I am an substance over action person but the beauty of the Bourne films is that there is a sweet story, some action and more sweet story but this one is story, action, end. To cut it short, Bourne Legacy feels like a grade B Bourne film but a good spy film. Just take away the Bourne from the title.
