I agree- poor script and crappy footage kill this film

Rating: Null/10 (28 July 2004)

I really wanted to like this film, hell I wanted to love it, I loved the first one. But the action sequences are more like some sort of epileptic fit of blurry camera action that has no coherence and no excitement. My girlfriend got a headache from the crappy footage, and I simply had to wonder where the money went when it came to actually shooting the film. It looks as if a seven year old was handed a video camera and told to shoot the scene- there is no flow and a lot of reliance on shaking and swinging the camera all over the place like the cameraman is drunk, high, epileptic or all three at the same time. Since the BOURNE series needs good action to float, this totally slaughtered any chance of the film being any damn good. Then you add in the pathetic performance of the CIA operatives, yeah, all of them were wooden and confused. and here is a question for you.. why the HELL did they not close the blinds on the windows once they knew Bourne was outside?? How's that for good realistic CIA action? Oh, there's a sniper outside.. let's walk around the open windows a lot shall we?? Crappy acting, poor action and totally unrealistic feel. I give the movie a ZERO, because the first was so much better and this could have taken it to the next level.
