Ick.
The first movie, Bourne Identity, was at least remotely connected to the book at the beginning.
This one has nothing whatever to do with Bourne Supremacy.
SPOILERS .
Marie is Canadien. As of the most recent novel, she's alive and she and "Jason Bourne" have kids.
There was never any character named Ward Abbott.
Conklin was never killed.
"Jason Bourne", whose name was revealed to be David Webb by the end of the first book, was never programmed to kill anyone.
There was no Pamela Landy.
Half of what's in the novels takes place in Asia. The movies are hooked on Western Europe, for some reason.
With all that in mind, the first movie was at least fun.
This one starts out grim and gets worse. It also taxes credibility. A super-spy could be that good, perhaps (how are most of us going to know?), but nobody keeps walking away from car crashes that kill everyone else.
If you don't like bad endings and lots of innocent people getting killed, stay away from this.
The next novel in the series is called the Borune Ultimatum. Goodness knows what the plot will be. Everyone in the novel except the hero is dead.
