Bourne Ultimatum

Rating: 1/10 (25 August 2007)

In the old days, Showing my age!, we had 'chase scenes', remember Bullitt? This was one long, dreary chase scene, only, no-one cared about the main character, mainly because he had no character. Trivial, commercial, tripe. People are paying money to see hyped films of no substance, very often because they believe the trailer and, 'surely an emperor wouldn't walk around without clothes?'. I won't criticise the actors, they did what they were told to do and , hey,they are being well paid. A film with a gentle pace would not be a blockbuster and wouldn't attract the focus-group teens that the Money Men think they need.A film like Caché (Hidden) must be anathema to the big movie makers,it was way too slow and was French and Foreign and the Director was Austrian, far too confusing. I suppose Bourne Ultimata will continue to be made while people continue to view them, the moral is there for the taking avoid this genre and give quality a chance, some hope!That's like asking people to believe that Fast Food is bad for you, when, obviously millions of people like it, so, it must be good for you.
