One of the three most intense films I've ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (15 March 2009)

WOW! The series has come along way since the original and each film surpasses the previous. This has to be thee most intense film I've ever seen. The other Two being The Departed and Running Scared. The pacing in this film is off the wall yet you don't find yourself trying to catch up with the story. Its complex yet its straight forward. Matt Damon surely does embody Jason Bourne, his personality, his emotions, his intelligence, he portrays it very convincingly. I cant help but compare this series to the lord of the rings series in that the first set up the story perfectly, the middle chapter went deeper into the characters and the third basically being the cream of the crop finished it of in epic fashion. You find yourself just bedazzled on how Bourne is always one step ahead of the CIA and he basically single handedly took them down. This isn't your typical action film. The action isn't meaningless. It is well crafted and everything has a purpose and the action scenes which is half the movie are justified by whats going on in the story. It is indeed the best action film I've seen in a very long time. Certainly in the same league as The original Die Hard, Terminator 2, and any of the 007 films if not in its own league and i say that because any of those films do not contain both the action and the intelligence that Bourne Ultimatum has.
