The first was better

Rating: 7/10 (19 March 2005)

I am a fan of espionage thrillers from series like these ones or James Bond and so on. The first Bourne I liked better because there was much more substance in the story than in this one. I mean there were not as many intriguing elements as in the last and it was about all a predictable cat-and-mouse-thriller. Then the camera work was not so bad as written here but I hope the responsibilities will make it better next time. The picture could have been better and sometimes it was too fast paced with many images cut and mixed but without losing the point. The soundtrack and audio effects were brilliant made and well adapted to each scene; just cool. Matt Damon did as usual a very great job here. The car chases are a real adrenalin push and they are rare in this genre. What I liked too were the many setting places as Naples, India, Moscow, Berlin, Munich, Amsterdam or New York. If you like action thrillers this is for you. For all these reasons I give 6.75/10.
