Roller-coaster ride? Maybe... It did make me sick!

Rating: 6/10 (2 January 2008)

I seem to remember liking the 1st two Bourne films... If my memory serves me correctly they were exciting, well acted and directed and were a breath of fresh air in an otherwise suffocatingly stale Spy Movie genre. When the third Bourne film came to town, I was amped.
But, what I was not ready for was 2 hours of the most nauseating camera work I have ever seen. Seriously, this was WAY TOO MUCH. It was ridiculously over shot. Some of the fight scenes looked sooooo great (for the 3 seconds where I could make out what was happening). The chase scenes were almost ballet-beautiful (for the 3 seconds where I could make out what was happening). But all the potentially wonderful things this film had to offer were all drowned in a raging sea, the likes of which brought about a sickness a box of Dramamine would not have quelled.
Where the other films like this? I don't remember them causing such an illness in my head and gut. I am afraid to revisit them now for fear they are as equally hard to watch. I don't want the whole franchise I once enjoyed to be ruined by this final act.
