I watched the first one and I didn\'t like it. Matt Damon isn\'t my favorite action guy.
The second one was horrible, it was good here and there but overall the movie sucked. The plot never got really complicated and it all ended way to simple for my taste.
I couln\'t stand that woman that told everybody what to do, the movie would of been alot better if Bourne would of killed her.

Not too many people liked the first and now critics are hanging off the 2nd ones nuts from what ive read thus far. Ive never seen so many people gather to see the first. The first few shows were sold out.
Anyway, your opinion is gay. j/k
Like ive said before i thought it was the shit. This and the first one. I guess its really not easy to explain but thats just how it is. I guess one reason why the first didnt get any attention was because Minority Report was sucking up all the attention.
I thought it might not be all that good either (the first) because of Damon, but he proved to be a pretty good actor for the part in my book. He didnt do 20 million impossible things like everyone else. It was much more believeable.

Matt Damon favorite action star?
What action movies has he done?

I liked the first one and the 2nd one. The camera angles in the 2nd one make it seem like you\'re in the room. Matt Damon is a much better actor than Ben Affleck, thats for sure.

Is that how you base most of your oppinions on movies?

Yeah the second one was a major let down. A killer with a heart is not what I was looking for. I think he should have killed them. Just because his womens dies he has to get all sensative. And what was up with the ending? I am a huge fan of the first one but man I am not too happy with this one. I guess becuase I was expecting a lot out this.

I greatly enjoyed the first film, and I\'ve watched it many times on DVD. This one was also good, but in a different way. I think I may grow to like it more, and I suppose I\'m glad they didn\'t just do a remake of the first film, as we so often see in sequels.
[sp]What is different of course is that Marie dies early in the story. That sort of took the heart out of it for me, but I\'m trying to look past that. I really like Franka Potente, and I liked her character in the first film. Looking at it in hindsight, the story relates something of a moral challenge for the Bourne character. He awakes with amnesia in the first film, and sets about trying to stay alive and learn who he was. The more he learns about who he was, the more he realizes he doesn\'t like the person he used to be. Marie\'s influence helps him to change his ways. Now she\'s dead, and he faces a choice. Abandon his soul and return to his old life of remorseless killing, or retain the compassion and mercy he learned. If you saw the film, you know which he chooses.
I do think there were a few missed opportunities. I was hoping Bourne would find an ally, at least temporarily, in the other Treadstone assassin he tracks down. You will recall that the man called "The Professor" (Clive Owen) in the first film spoke to him in a helpful manner just before his death... Also I\'m disappointed that they used that Moby song at the end once again. I never liked it the first time, and I don\'t like to see them get into the habit of using the same music, same title sequence, and so forth, over and over.[/sp]
Apart from those minor complaints, I thought it was a quality piece of work. These movies are growing in an alternate direction from the books. I read the first Ludlum novel, and it was entirely different from the first movie. I do feel it was an improvement though. By paring away some of the needless complexity, they gave the first film better focus.

[SP] I know how you feel about Marie. I felt the exact same (it sorta talks about it in the link where i was talking about the movie). It sucked so much out of the film for me at first. She really gave the first film, a lot of light. It still had me kinda irked at the end because i was just wondering, wtf was next for Bourne. I guess i came to get into it as time went on. I still havent gotten over it completely, but i know what you are saying. [/SP] I really cant say that i have any complaints. If i did, then they were covered up by some of the better parts of the movie. I dont mean to be so picky, but i cant see how you people can let one bad element that maybe isnt so significant be such an issue to mention after all of the good parts of the movie.
Then again i guess thats why this thread was started.
Like ive said before. I loved it. It will be added to my "Bourne Collection" when it comes out on DVD.

What... a story about a CIA Operative who quits and go’s against his masters… in this Political climate?

You can probably count on The Bourne Legacy hitting theaters in the coming years, after TBS just opened at $53M~.

Movie was pretty good... I could watch it again if I had to and stay awake... If I had to do the same thing with SM2 and Irobot, I would be snooooooring. :p

Youre stupid then. j/k
Really though. If you could watch it again and not fall asleep vs those other movies then its a good quality of the film. To be able to catch somebody\'s attention enough so that they could watch it over again good. You know what im saying?
If not then dont strain your brain over it. It was nothing much in the first place.

I just went and saw it. Decent, not as good as the first.
