confusing plot that left me not carrying what Jason Bourne does

Rating: 4/10 (17 June 2005)

I thought the Bourne Identity was OK but nothing special. At least the plot was better and so was Matt Damon. Damon in this is boring and he only has one scene I can think of in which he uses those neat kung fu moves. Plus he does everything alone here. A lot of it is just him sneaking around in a black trench coat. You'd think he would have changed clothes or worn a disguise since they knew what he was wearing, yet this super spy never bothers to change his appearance.
And the plot didn't make a whole lot of sense. I'm guessing a lot was left out that was in the books. Like why do they keep hunting Bourne when he just wants to stay in hiding. And when did some guy from Russia become involved. And why frame Bourne for murder by planting a fingerprint when he wasn't even trying to become involved.
Besides a confusing plot, the other big negative was the shaky camera. AT times, you couldn't even tell what was going on. It was almost as bad as the jerky camera shots from the Blair Witch Project.
FINAL VERDICT: I don't recommend it because it just wasn't very entertaining nor is Matt Damon any where near as hot.
