Same old story

Rating: 3/10 (8 August 2007)

Hmmmm. . . why don't any of the cars involved in the car crashes have air bags? That's just a niggling little detail, but the movie is full of improbabilities and inconsistencies. It added nothing to what we had already seen and the first two installments did it better. I quickly became bored with the unimaginative chase scenes where you can't even tell what's going on. Same with the fight scenes. It is essentially the same plot as the first two movies. Maybe in the fourth installment Bourne will go after somebody that's even higher up in the food chain. There is no real attempt at character development here. The movie is aimed for those people who like hearing dramatic music leading up to car chases or fist fights. Obviously this is what a lot of people like, judging from the comments here, but I found the movie simply tedious after a while. I can not understand why it has received such high praise from critics.
