The Ultimate Atrocity

Rating: 2/10 (4 September 2007)

What a bunch of fanboys. This film at 8.5? Incredible. I did give it two stars, 1) it did make it to theaters, 2) it did end. Finally. If you love the first two Bourne movies then see this one. Otherwise please stay away!
1. Monkey-cam. The incessant jerking of the camera is so annoying that I wasn't distracted by other moviegoers talking loudly. I guess the director felt it could cover up uninteresting chase sequences, lack of dialog, and create a false sense of suspense. Utterly ridiculous.
2. The story is simply a rehash of Bourne 2. Once again, the CIA crosses swords with Bourne. Bourne runs around looking for the originators of Treadstone so he can know who he really is. They even throw in a new gal-pal for him to look heroic for. Nothing new here. Even the techniques he uses are old. Gee, never saw that whole "look at 'em through a window while I talk to them routine" before. There is no story or plot here. Its just Bourne being chased around the world(again) and finally, finally realizing that(surprise) he volunteered to be a brainwashed assassin!
3. Boring! When about 90% of the movie consists of chase and capture scenes, fight and flight, and the outcomes of all fights, chases, and surveillances are predetermined (hint: Bourne wins again) where is the suspense or drama? There is none. We know that Bourne can take on four armed men single-handedly. We know he is impervious to any serious injury. Without any meaningful dialog, or any real plot, this makes it hard to care about the main character at all.
4. It must be nice to...... -globe-trot and never be identified even though I don't wear any disguises -know intimately the layouts of any city or building I am in -be able to drive off a building and walk away -crash through a window and have no cuts or scratches to show for it -somehow remember enough of my training to kick ass but can't remember anything else worthwhile
Well, it could go on but why bother. I could do an entire page on the stupid CIA portrayal in this flick. Such incompetence. This movie goes into my bottom 250. Save the money and go rent the Ipcriss File. lol
