What's wrong with movies

Rating: 8/10 (29 July 2007)

Universal Pictures should be ashamed of themselves. In the ad for The Bourne Ultimatum, they have the total hack Pete Hammond raving about the movie.
Hammond goes in the tank for everything. Whenever a studio needs pulp they go to him for mindless praise no matter how mediocre the movie. And he always delivers a gusher.
The Bourne Ultimatum deserves praise from legitimate critics -- not a puny hireling. The movie is much better than that. It demeans Bourne to have this leech hanging on.
The Bourne Ultimatum is one of those few movies that one can recommend to almost everyone. It will wind up on the best ten lists of most critics -- legitimate critics.
The Bourne Ultimatum has integrity. It deserves integrity.
