Not nearly as well-done as The Bourne Identity

Rating: 3/10 (12 December 2004)

The Bourne Identity was a great, entertaining movie. On the other hand, The Bourne Supremacy was terrible. It was difficult to watch because of the constantly shifting and jerky photography. In the Bourne Identity, I felt like I knew Jason Bourne, and I felt empathy for his plight. His character emanated warmth and honesty, and I had a genuine feel for his situation. He was real. In the follow-up, the constantly rapid shifting of scenes, along with the high percentage of scenes that were too dark to see, and the jerky photography, made getting to feel the characters' plight impossible. I couldn't feel close to the characters because they didn't seem real to me. They were there one second and the next second they were gone. In a word, the movie was terrible. The direction was terrible. Don't waste your money.
