Ultimate Cinematic Tedium

Rating: 2/10 (5 August 2007)

I enjoyed the previous two Bournes but this one was a big disappointment after the massive amount of media hype put out with its release. The hand-held camera work was way overdone to the point of inducing nausea and the dark lighting made this worse. The entire movie consists of people and car chases that really bore. Script and story were very weak compared to previous Bourne movies. I tried to enjoy the international venues shown but they mostly deteriorated into endless silly chase scenes. On the positive side we were mercifully spared any of the usual gratuitous sex and there was no bad language. After a week of high pressure marketing by the film studio and fawning Payola praise by most critics the actual film is one big letdown for the rest of us.
