Just non-stop action is not enough

Rating: 5/10 (6 October 2007)

I liked the first Bourne movie when I saw it for the first time and remembered it as a well made "nonstop thrill ride". When I saw it for the second time, it was not much more than just an average action movie.
Unfortunately, this was also the case with part 2 and 3, which I also saw recently and for the first time. There was no real story, because most of it was already told in part 1. The action and car chase scenes where quite good, but sometimes a bit _too_ fast paced and therefore a bit annoying, they might have been better without the "shaky camera" all through part 2 and 3. However, just the same scene over and over again - someone tries to kill him, and then a chase scene, is not enough for a good action/thriller movie. This is no real trilogy, as most of the story is in part 1, and the rest is just a collection of some action sequences.
I really don't understand the high rating compared to part 2, as it was basically the same. Some say that this is the "new Bond", and the latest "Casino Royale" was also a bit disappointing compared to other Bonds, but I really have seen better secret agent movies.
