A great ending to a the Bourne trilogy!

Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2007)

This film is one of the most solid third-installment movies I've ever seen. It had the same feel and flow as its two predecessors, which made it feel like I was watching the same singular movie, instead of the three-part story that it is. The way they seamlessly blended the movies together is incredible. The plot progressed nicely, the character development (especially that of Jason Bourne) was fantastic, and the dialog scenes were good enough to keep my focus and transitioned before the dialog got too lengthy.
The action sequences had the same great quality that you would expect from the two previous movies. While that's good and all, that also provides the one demeaning quality to the movie: It's more of the same. Together with Identity and Supremacy, this film is amazing, but it does not have anything to make it stand out from the other two (besides the fact that it has the ending). This statement speaks volumes, as it was reaffirmed by several customers I had who asked about the movies. They couldn't makes distinctions between the three movies, and I came to find that even my own knowledge between the first two Bourne installments was blurred in a few areas.
I had one other hang-up with this movie. For a man who is wanted by almost every country that he is in throughout the movie, Bourne is able to seamlessly get from nation to nation almost as easily as fast-forwarding the movie to the next scene. It just stuck out to me as something that was either overlooked or cut-out completely due to time constraints.
If you're like me and you love the first two Bourne movies, then you will also love The Bourne Ultimatum. Otherwise, it's just more of the same. It is a great action movie, and it deserves the 8.5/10 I am giving it. I just wish it had a little more to it than just "a great ending to the trilogy". It would be wrong of me to end a review of a good movie on a downside, so let me say again that THIS IS A GREAT MOVIE!
