The BEST movie realesed this summer

A Customer from Cardiff, Wales, 17th August, 2007

If you loved the last two, your gonna love this one. This is an intelligent, soild action movie with characters and a story which is genuinely captavating. This has the best fight scenes out of the three movies, but the car chase isn't as good as the last one. However, this is the best film in the series and the supporting cast are top class, its nice to see a film which has proper actors, with a visionary director who doesn't need to rely on CGI to tell the story. By far the best film of the summer, if not the year.

The Bourne Disappointment

SAI81 from from Tonbridge, 19th August, 2007

It's not been a good summer. It began with the crushing disappointment that was Spider-Man 3 and it ends with the crushing disappointment that is The Bourne Ultimatum. For the record I really loved the first two Bourne films but just give the edge to Paul Greengrass' superb sequel over the Doug Liman directed original and with Greengrass at the helm again and much of the talent from the previous films returning I'm really at a loss as to how it went wrong this time out. There are several big problems. Firstly there's the story. Part of the fun of the Bourne movies has been that we've discovered the story with Jason Bourne, been thrust inside his amnesia but as it has unfolded that story has always been easy to follow. That's not the case here, the story is so murky that I found myself lost several times . Worse though is that I didn't especially care where things were going as right from the off this film feels overfamilliar. Greengrass hits all the same beats as in the last two films but is unable to up the ante in the way he did so well with Supremacy so here it just comes off as 'we're 45 minutes in, better have a car chase'. Even more disappointing though is that Greengrass squanders what assets the film does have (fantastic stunts, punchy fights) with a camera technique so irritating it took me completely out of the movie. Okay so it's not like Identity and Supremacy were the most sedate movies in the world but Ultimatum's camera moves around so unrelentingly that not only does it detract from your understanding of the movie but if you get seasick you should be warned to avoid this film for the good of your health. This and the almost ludicrously fast pace of the editing renders what would otherwise be a brilliant fight scene in the middle of the movie utterly unintelligible and irritiating. It gives me no pleasure to say this about The Bourne Ultimatum. I want it to be a better film, the cast deserve a better film and all are on fine form. Damon is a great actor and he's grown into this role in completely convincing fashion. He provides one of the best moments of the whole trilogy after that pivotal fight when his silence says more than any line could have. It's nice to finally see Julia Stiles get something to do in these movies and she acquits herself well, but sadly vanishes from the film in pretty short order. Strathairn and Allen also cintribute strong turns that resist action movie cliche. Sadly though it's not enough, the technique drowns what might have been a fun action film and the hard to follow story means that this third film never engages like the first two did, what a terrible shame.

Chase me

bail from from Cheltenham, 19th November, 2007

Its just 2 hours of the baddies constantly chasing the good guy and that is it! Oh, and 10 minutes tacked on the end as a poor excuse for a plot. Rubbish.

The same as the others

Callumhughes182 from , 17th March, 2010

This film, even though it is very action packed, it's just the same as all the other Bourne films.

Bourne Ultimatum

A Customer from Liverpool, 13th March, 2010

Good film, no dull moment, plenty of action, although it is a bit 'one man takes kills all' worth watching.

Good film

blackaj69 from , 9th March, 2010

When the bourne films hit the cinema the world had a contendor for James Bond. Jason Bourne a governement agent who has no memory of what or who he was in the third film has more pieces of the puzzle to figure out who and what he was. Alot of the time when a film hits the third film it has ran out of steam and tries to wrap things up. This isn't the case with this film as it is a roller coaster ride and does to some degree wrap things up. Not one to disapoint and one for action fans to enjoy. On blue ray this is a good film as the picture and sound are amazing. Give it a go.
