TBU is utter crap. Unbelievably stinky smelly garbage. An unfit sequel, just like the second was.
There is no excuse, reason or need for shaky cam. Maybe if we called it idiot cam it would just go away. Whatever we do "going forward", we are still left with two ruined movies.
The dialog is painful. Try it, try listening to people talking (or not talking like Bourne's latest love connection). A total lack of effort went into the stuff that people are supposed to expel from their mouths.
Bourne himself is some kind of super human being. He can fall 20 feet backward and get up, Terminator style, and continue on with his mission. If he is so omnipotent, how can his character progress? Oh, by pursuing his past. Right, that will be a hoot to watch.
The music is completely inappropriate and monotonous. Here's a clue stick: if you are looping the same stuff for most of the movie then yank all of it out and throw it in the trash. This is supposed to be a spy movie. You know, intrigue? Suspense? Well, if there was any of that, it could stand on its own without "suspense music". It reminded me of the stuff ESPN plays when they show basketball highlights -- absurd and harmful to the main task.
Damon is the only redeeming actor. In other words, given how horrendous the script is, he was the only one to somehow break free from its considerable suction.
This movie belongs in the IMDb Bottom 250 for its dialog and shaky cam. Vote it down, people. Then maybe the studio shills will stop stuffing the comments section.
1* out of 10*. Awful. About as awful as The Good Shepherd and The Departed. Matt, you need to choose some better scripts!
