No point in seeing this film. Shoot Paul Greengrass in the head and See the first BOURNE movie instead.

Rating: 4/10 (23 September 2007)

If you didn't see the other movies- you might like this one. BUT, If you saw the first Bourne movie you will notice this third addition is a big fat ZERO compared to the first movie.
This is a pathetic addition to what was a fantastic start. Paul Greengrass is the director for the latter two parts of BOURNE Trilogy -the ones that totally SUCK- this movie and the one before it-Bourne Supremacy. I had wondered why the first movie was so GREAT and this third movie and the one before it were so terrible... they changed directors... to PAUL GREENGRASS instead of the original, DOUG LIMAN is what happened.
Paul Greengrass is the same idiot that brought you the propaganda piece flight 93.. as if!!
Now he has put the final touches on ruining what was originally a GENIUS movie from Doug Liman.
I found out why Paul ruined the films from his own mouth: (interview)
"Paul Greengrass: Directing a Bourne film is chaos like you've never ever seen, believe me! But the reason for that is the Bourne films are a very interesting collision between a sort of indie mentality, which is where (original director) Doug (Liman) would come from, and the mainstream Hollywood mentality."
So Paul is obviously the Hollywood Hatchet Man for the Bourne series-his job is to cut out what's good in the footage and put in what's holly-popular and wonder why it isn't any good at the finished product.
You don't get genius by serving up year old leftovers!!!! That's a lesson Hollywood has yet to learn.
The Bourne Identity is a great movie. The Bourne Supremacy is utter faux-indie Hollywood shake camera crap. The Bourne Ultimatum is derivative of both films in that it serves up a new plot - but the same footage as before and nothing even slightly representative of having any imagination whatsoever.
I really wonder why they bothered shooting this film. It has so much Bourne footage that we have already seen, Ad Nauseam. How many times do we need to see the same scene of Jason Bourne running around with the CIA on his heels at every corner and some civilian in tow screaming at everything going on around them as Jason kicks their ass. This scene is played over and over and over- like there is nothing else to the story but this scene being repeated.
I can make the next flick- I'll just have Matt Damon run around a building with people chasing him.. that's pretty much the main plot twist in this movie- it's time to run around in a new building. there so much more you can do with this character than play a game of tag!!!!! Maybe they should read the Bourne Books for some ideas??? ;-)
It really and truly sucks to know that certain television episodes of La Femme Nikita are superior to a major Hollywood release with full budget.
PLOT: Bourne is getting closer to uncovering the secret of his training and his past- but we have to watch a whole lot of repetitive scenes of the same stupid chase over and over again with no character development, nothing that wasn't done better in the first movie, and not any interesting characters or situation whatsoever through the entire film. Sure there's some cool action here and there- but its the exact same action as was in the first one- only the first movie did it ten times better.
Go see the Bourne Identity and burn the other two movies in this trilogy of Hollywood excess leading to imbecile releases such as this one and it's ugly brother Bourne Supremacy. Both are infantile in character development and fully unoriginal in cinematography.
