A solid representation of a formulaic, entertaining genre...

Rating: Null/10 (7 September 2004)

I just got home from having gone seen The Bourne Supremacy and within the last few seconds happened to find myself looking it up on the IMDb to get historic specs on one of the actors in the film. Okay...
For those reviewers who walked away from the film satisfied, knowing they'd received what they came and paid for (action-thriller-suspense-bondesque entertainment), kudos. I give you props. The film did not pretend to be anything other than what we all thought it was before we went to see it and the author of this commentary believes all involved in the project delivered. I mean, it's six bucks, for heaven's sake! Chill out on the bad camera work bandwagon action. The camera work, albeit highly idiosyncratic, was undeniably stylistically effective enough to convey the intensity of the scenes at hand. Action, chaos, turbulence, commotion, vertigo...well done! If it made some of you actually physically ill (please...) then I guess the man did the job he got hired to carry out! If you want serenity and warm fuzzies with your significant other, rent On Golden Pond. Oh but, be careful: there's a few canoe on water scenes in that film. We wouldn't want anyone getting seasick.
Note: If you're going to try your hand at "insightful reviewing," "vitriolic, scathing criticism," or generally plagiarizing someone else's opinion on something e.g. a film...learn to freakin' write! (Yes, that includes spelling.)
