Headache and sore eyes guaranteed

Rating: 4/10 (15 September 2007)

Let's face it: This is a pretty hyped movie. It has lots of plot holes and no "soul" at all.
Most annoying is the way this movie is cut: Nearly every take is filmed with a handy-cam and zooms, trembles and pans. On top of this, the vast majority of takes is less than a few seconds, at least it feels like this.
My girlfriend got a headache because of this and left the theater, many of my fellow co-viewers felt the same after the ending, including myself.
This is a pity, because both the Bourne movies and books are a great franchise and Matt Damon surely does his best and shows some impressive action. I rather enjoyed the fact that you won't see the typical CGI-enhanced stunts with exploding cars and buildings that were fashion until late.
But, I ask you, what is all of this worth if you leave the theater with a headache and sore eyes? I rated this a 4 (the first part I rated 8 back then), and just because I like the characters and the settings. If it wasn't for them, this would have been a 2 or 3 at most. It eludes me why this movie is rated among the #250 of all time. Would the director have chosen a more relaxed way of filming, this movie would've gotten even better ratings as far as I and my friends are concerned.
Very disappointing...
