In short, he was not a fan of the script. And in addition to calling out Tony Gilroy, he blames Universal for giving the screenwriter a sweetheart deal that only required one draft from him.

"It's really the studio’s fault for putting themselves in that position," Damon tells GQ. "I don't blame Tony for taking a boatload of money and handing in what he handed in. It’s just that it was unreadable. This is a career-ender. I mean, I could put this thing up on eBay and it would be game over for that dude. It's terrible. It's really embarrassing. He was having a go, basically, and he took his money and left."


And that's because it was fricking terrible.

That and they had nothing to do with the books. Has it really been four years? I've only seen it once and was less than impressed.

Matt Damon also hated John Woo's The Bourne Ultimatum

FIFY

The third movie sucked balls, which was a shame.

This is funny to me. I always argue with people that 1 was the best, 2nd a close 2nd, and 3rd was awful.

Most people tell me that the third was the best.

I enjoyed all of them, though the third would be my least favorite of the trilogy. I always thought Damon was a great Bourne, and the fact he's not going to be in the new one pretty much killed my excitement for it.
