The Bourne Ultimatecontinuance

Rating: 2/10 (8 August 2007)

So what is the Bourne Ultimatum all about? Nothing really, it doesn't exist. The Bourne Supremacy, the 2nd movie, never really ended. As it turns out, the bad CIA people in the 1st & 2nd movies weren't really the Ultimate bad people. Now we just move it up a managerial level, use the same story, a few flash backs, and now we kill the REALLY bad people.
And of course, the American CIA is the root of all evil, so they're always the bad guys. All the other secret agencies in the world are just sweet-hearts, so we never make movies about China's Ministry of Security or the North Korean Police.
So other than a retread storyline, there's one more thing you have to look forward to: motion sickness and a headache.
To support the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act, director Paul Greengrass only hired camera-men with severe Parkinsons Disease. So, if Speed II: Cruise Control gave you a headache, prepare for a serious migraine from this movie. I'm sure there were some great action scenes (the high speed chase on the scooter, for example), but I couldn't watch it long enough without my eyes throbbing. Even walking down a hallway, the cameraman must have had a hangover, because the DT shakes were severe.
I've played Doom, Quake, and Halo, with no ill effects, but The Bourne Ultimate Headache was nauseating.
Since the story line for this movie was so invigorating, fresh, and new, I can't wait for the next movie, where we find out that we didn't kill all the really bad CIA people, and we didn't find the truly bad doctor who caused all this. So get ready for the 4th movie: The Bourne Endoscopy.
Bottomline: go see Die-hard. Now THAT was a good movie!
