I HAVE read the books...

Rating: Null/10 (21 August 2004)

If they had actually used the book(s) to guide the storyline of the movies, they'd be even better. If you've read the books, you know they just used the titles and some of the names, and those names aren't necessarily attached properly based on descriptions from the books... At least in The Bourne Identity they stayed (vaguely) within the book's storyline. The Bourne Supremacy is so totally NOT the story in the book I wouldn't have known that's what it was supposed to be without the title in the opening credits. [It's going to VERY interesting to see how they try to tell the story from The Bourne Ultimatum - that should make the Bourne Supremacy seem like a strict adaptation of the book by comparison...] If you think the movies are good, read the books - the movie you'll see in your head as you read will be even better! You'll get a chance to meet the REAL Jason Bourne and go for a very exciting ride. (The books by Ludlum - forget the Lustbader addition to the Bourne line.)
