Major disappointment -- does not live up

Rating: 6/10 (31 July 2004)

Shaky-Cam: For the love of God, Hollywood, stop it. Just stop. Matt Damon need not be in most of this movie, you couldn't see any of the action anyway. A shaky camera does not make a good movie; it cheats you out of the action. The sooner movie-goers learn this and stop watching, the sooner Hollywood will get off its lazy rump and go back to a thing called "choreography."
One reviewer said this movie had "the best car chase scene." My god, are you kidding? You hardly could see the cars thru the blurry shaking!
Omni-Presence: Jason Bourne, in this sequel, has the ability to appear anywhere, at any time, without effort. He is God-like in that respect. He's not human, he can't be slowed down. This is not entertaining. It's boring. I tried my best to keep up with (what passes for a) story, but Matt Damon just kept popping up next to, behind, on top of the other people so fast, I couldn't follow it. He was super-human, apparently. It was too much; it's not entertaining.
There was no drama, no anticipation, no suspense. Bad Hollywood, lazy writer! Bad.
I'll watch the 1st movie again 100 times (and I have) before sitting thru this crap again.
3/10 for me.
