Not quite as good as the first.

Rating: 8/10 (30 July 2004)

Any comments about this movie must involve a comparison to the Bourne Identity. As such, I simply recount how I felt when I walked out of the theater after each movie. Truthfully, I was satisfied with both movies. The performances in each were good. However, The Bourne Identity had more of an edge to it. Maybe when I saw the The Bourne Supremacy the novelty of the story line had expired. But I don't think so. I feel that the Borne Identity was a tad more complex and not just full of action sequences. The Borne Supremacy played up the action sequences which led to a sacrifice in the sophistication of the script. The Bourne Supremacy seemed to lack sufficient unfolding-of-the-plot issues for purchase as a DVD. However, the Bourne Identity is more than a worthy purchase. (Wish I had purchased the Bourne Identity and received a free ticket for The Bourne Supremacy) I still recommend the BS as a theater flick, if you like action you will not be disappointed; and nor was I.
