So what was the whole thing with Bourne anyway? Genetics or special training?



since he was 5'6 150, it probably wasn't genetics

I will give ultimatum the benefit of the doubt, but Supremacy was fricking garbage

Holy Christ. It was a fricking Bourne movie. People that are a fan of the franchise will not be disappointed. It has a shite ton of great actors, lots of interesting additions to the main character and some answers about treadstone. Not even to mention some fantastic action sequences. We all love a superhero movie, and this dude is basically wolverine without the claws. People like you make awesome critics because you are some whacked out movie snobs that either expect way too much, or live to come here and tell people how a fricking action movie is so beneath you.

There are two very short fight scenes and a chase. I went in expecting a superhero movie and it's not. Action sucked, plot REALLY sucked. Absolutely nothing like first three. Main character is likable. Treadstone answers? Besides a little more info on the soldiers and the lab-not really.

well I would say that was pretty huge. They did give us some more info on how these guys were engineered. That was pretty interesting IMHO.

Not really. They tend to confuse special effects with telling a story. For the majority who like them that is fine. I thought the chase scene in The French Connection was fantastic but it seems like there is a constant need to out do the previous chase scene/action movie so that over the years movies have reached the point of absurdity.

Is he really? People see movies for different reasons. Some go just to turn their brain off and escape from reality, others like well-thought out, well-made movies.

I, for example, favor movies with original plots, great supporting characters, a great villain, and sound cinematic fundamentals.

The Bourne movies after Identity maintain the unoriginal plot, have shallow and 1-dimensional supporting characters that nobody cares about, a cookie cutter villain, and the fight scenes appear to have been filmed with the cameraman headbanging, or perhaps he was suffering from Parkinson's. The camera is so close to the action and so shaky that you can't make out what's happening in detail.

Identity was good because because the good outweighed the bad. The plot was pretty recycled, but Marie and Chris Cooper were good supporting characters, and it had some great, well choreographed/well shot scenes (Embassy scene and the chase scene in particular---Ready Steady Go was the perfect song to compliment that chase). It was a good, stylish flick with a lot of rewatch value.

Supremacy had none of those things. It's Matt Damon from Point A to Point B, without developing anything. Ultimatum was an improvement because of it's tighter tuning.

Will not see Legacy until it's on the movie channels. Don't bash the guy for liking movies for different reasons than you.

What is up with some of you going ... "that sucks " .. or " man, i wanted to see that"

Are you kidding? go to metacritic and take a look around what the majority of real critics are saying if you want an opinion before going.

and on that note ... BL is tracking at 61 and Total Recall at 44

You got a 2 hour blow job from your boyfriend during the show. That's the only way you came away from this film with a good feeling. This was the biggest pile of shite I've seen since Danny Glover and Joe Pesci in "Gone Fishing".

SPOILER ALERT

















SERIOUSLY. SPOILER ALERT.

























AIN'T frickING AROUND. SPOILER ALERT NEXT.

























They unleash the mother of all genetically enhanced agents to take out Aaron Cross and they never throw a single fricking punch? Cross spent 15 seconds in this movie kicking the shite out of a woman but it was too much to ask that these guys face off? Nooooo! Here's a much better idea: let the helpless female genetics doctor kick the bad guy's motorcycle and make him crash. That's much more satisfying.

If you liked this movie, I have no doubt you also like genital warts, socialism, and Applebees.
