Movie is nothing like the book

Rating: 10/10 (19 September 2007)

I finished the book yesterday and saw the movie tonight. The movie was terrific, but the only three things that were in both the book and the movie was The Bourne Ultimatum, Jason Bourne, and David Webb. Everything else was completely different. I wasn't sure they could make a movie from the book as it was difficult to read and follow. The book could have been done in fewer than half the pages and although there were some action narration, most of the book was quite boring. The movie on the other hand was at least as exciting as the previous two. It employed some of the same characters and added a number of new ones. I thought it was curious that in all the chase scenes in all the movies, not one airbag was ever deployed. I don't even recall seeing anyone use a seat belt.
