Destroyed a good movie...

Rating: 4/10 (13 December 2004)

And that's really all I have to say about that. The Bourne Identity was a great new action movie and the idea thrilled me. I held much expectations haven read the Bourne books by Ludlum and I must say that I probably shouldn't have. Not only does the movie Bourne Supremacy have nothing in common with the book The Bourne Supremacy (from which it is supposed to be based) but they replaced the story with a really flat screen play. Not only this but the direction and camera work are amateur. The soundtrack happens to be almost an exact duplicate of The Bourne Identity (having the same ending song) which is not very fun. I bought the movie without seeing it beforehand because I new what it could have been after seeing the first and reading the books. Shame on the screen play writers and director for turning one of my most favorite action stories into another mess of "let's just make a really flashy movie, who cares about the story" film.
Recommendations:
If you seen and liked The Bourne Identity - Rent this If you seen and disliked The Bourne Identity - Avoid this If you like to read good books - Read the Bourne trilogy by Robert Ludlum (I don't really read Ludlum but, I really like these books) not only will you have a great adventure but, you'll see what could have been...
5/10 (compared to the 8/10 I gave The Bourne Identity)
