Not worth the time if you're expecting anything as good as #1

Hmmmm. Well, I really think this movie falls far short of my personal expectations. I thought Bourne Identity was going to be the start of a great new saga. I guess I was wrong. I'd like to see what ended up in the cutting room floor. If it was anything like the movie, it deserved to be cut out. I mean, REALLY. Holding your breath under water long enough to kiss then give mouth to mouth more than a couple times without drowning? Then the dizzying camera views of the fight scene(s). I thought I was suffering from a hangover. Oh, then the guy with the gatling sized gun in a napsack that no one saw set it up in broad daylight then shoot Bournes girl with, THEN put it all away and go to the scene of the shooting to peer over the bridge? What was that all about? Did they really have to make more out of the fact that Bourne made it clear to the top CIA gal that he was watching her through a window more than once? Don't you think they could have hid the bad guy a bit better? Did they really have to let us know who it was from the get go? Kind of spoiled the whole movie didn't it? Hmmm. I wonder what the next will hold? Do I dare fork out the cash to see another?
