One long chase scene

Rating: 6/10 (14 January 2005)

The first movie was bearable -- minimal character development but it's the first time we see him so that's okay -- and the typically well-executed Hollywood chase scenes. I also saw it on a plane so maybe that had an effect. The second continues the same trend with even *less* character development. But, wait, there's good chase scenes, so that must be alright. I guess I should be satisfied with that and then leave alone the weird gender dynamics with Bourne alternately searching for Mommy-, lover-, or sister-salvation in the female characters. Oh wait, that's the character development. I get it. A decent money-maker for all involved just not what I would call a movie. Too bad because the chase scenes are very stimulating and exciting.
