Not as bad as the reviews make it seem.

Rating: 7/10 (7 December 2018)

The reason that Bourne legacy is getting split reviews is because it just can't be counted as a Bourne movie. A Bourne movie is smart and stylish and although I personally think the sequels got worse and worse they still had originality. Bourne legacy in contrast feels more like an imitation. The movie fails to follow the principle of showing not telling which the previous Bourne movies did beautifully in their cinematography. Bourne legacy drives the plot mainly through dialogue which is poorly written and the overall movie feels generic. However the film is still entertaining if you don't make comparisons to the previous films.
My biggest problem with the movie was actually with Rachel Weisz. I was not at all impressed with her acting. Her character was almost an exact copy and paste performance from Constantine and it really contributed to the generic feel of the film.
