Quality not Quantity

Rating: Null/10 (13 August 2004)

Matt Damon has managed what Vin Diesel and XXX didn't do - to set up a franchise that is just as good as James Bond if not better than it. I am praying to the God of greenlighters that the third book will be made into a film for possibly 2006. In 'The Bourne Identity' Matt Damon was believable as an action star and continues with more of the same in 'The Bourne Supremacy'. Even though Damon is a great action star the film doesn't use action to carry the plot and viewers along, action sequences appear as they are needed and are vital to the story. My favourite part is when Jason Bourne gets to grapple with the 4th Treadstone assassin based in Munich, it it quite a showdown. I loved the first Bourne film and couldn't wait to see this and I wasn't disappointed, everything I liked about the first film continues in the second and hopefully will again in the third. Roll on 2006.
