Like someone talks absolute nonsense yet so seriously !

Rating: 2/10 (24 January 2011)

Bourne travels all over the world? Why? And how? From where exactly he gets the money to afford it? And how he does it, having no disguise while he's the most wanted man on the plant? Bourne jumps from window to another all over Tangier's buildings while all the windows are opened and all the people are out! How, at the end of that chase, he knew the place of the one he chases? By the last's smell??! The CIA's offices have always glass, with no curtains, so whenever Bourne monitors them, he could see everything. So Bourne, finally, remembers, OK, what did he remember exactly and we didn't know?! Bourne could go inside the CIA while no camera filmed him? (He's the invisible man!). Bourne could survive a bomb that got exploded couple of meters behind him, not only this, he could also run after the one who exploded it, fight him, and kill him (Now he's Wolverine!).
Actually, it doesn't have plot holes since originally it doesn't have a plot. They didn't have much to write in this sequel, so they transformed it into idiot chase after another; someone wants to kill dear Bourne, and - surprisingly - fails, added to meeting the first mentor to know nothing new, and putting the whole gang into jail, so easily, by the end. The script reuses many points from the previous 2 movies; the big bosses are watching the lead through cameras in a surveillance room while beating their men, a car chases another.. one flips.. then the always great Jason Bourne comes out unharmed (the trademark of Bourne movies I guess, since it's present, as it is, in all the 3 already!), and - why not - (Julia Stiles)?? The only necessity of doing that is the penury. It has zero drama, zero attraction, and with (Matt Demon) around.. no credibility at all.
(Matt Demon) as an action hero is a tragedy. No matter what Kung Fu he mastered, this guy is too poor to convince me that he can waste all of these men in seconds. As a charisma, he's just a flat boy. And as an actor, there wasn't anything to be acted in this movie. See, lesser actors like (Arnie) and (Sly) do the job better. They can convince me as fighters, they have tough charisma, and they act in cool way (like saying their one-liners in memorable wit). So (Demon) here couldn't be them, and that script couldn't give him a decent chance to be a serious Bond either.
Director (Paul Greengrass) did some noticeable efforts concerning the action. And he handled the rest with his familiar style of shaking the camera deliberately as a different way to make the Hollywood fun while mixing it with a touch of realism. However, while there is no script to it, and a lot of (Demon), the action ran pointlessly and boringly. The green color that embodies the lead's pale memory, or the vague facts around him, didn't serve much, especially when he *remembers* this time (maybe Greengrass didn't remember that itself!). Sometimes shaking the camera was exaggerated for no reason. For big example, recall the scene of telling the brother that his sister / Bourne's love died; that was really annoying and adolescent!
The movie, self-conceited to the max, almost believes itself as one gritty political thriller. But by that empty absurd script, the whole thing turned into a long unfunny comedy. Scriptwriter (George Nolfi) is brilliant when it's about writing a collapsed movie, with dozen of unsolved questions, which looks so confident though. (Timeline - 2003), (Ocean's Twelve - 2004), and (The Sentinel - 2006) are good examples. Every one of them, including surely (The Bourne Ultimatum - 2007), seems like someone talks absolute nonsense yet so seriously. It isn't droll. It's rather pathetic, and with the insistence that it's droll: provoking!
Good things? The cinematography despite the over-shaking, the intense orchestrated music despite being unduly on for all the time, and the action stunts despite being detached segments that could be watched separately.
It is a mix of alleged script, too many whys and hows, very uninteresting lead, dull everything, and thrilling nothing. All of it encourages you not to interact, respect, hence watch. Long story short; I slept in front of it.. truly. (Ultimatum) is no more than inconsiderable movie that tries desperately and miserably to feel considerable. Let it, its publicity, and its blind fans delude anyone else. Voted as "Movie of the Year 2007" by Empire magazine MY FOOT!
