OK, so... I watched this tonight. And I have to agree with my girl, the wahine that we all know and love, that I wish this had been 4 hours long. The story, the action, the characters, and Matt Damon ROCKED.
Best action flick of the year.
Full Version: The Bourne Ultimatum
It is good. The story was the same as Bourne Identity 2: Electric Boogaloo, though - right?
Guy that was messed up by the government is being chased mainly by same government. There's a nice old lady kinda in charge that's not really in charge, and a cute younger lady that is helping him under duress. Cameras are instructed to be as shaky as possible, and locales range from exotic to familiar. Audio is cued precisely timed, thus maximizing adrenaline to fill in the visual gaps left by said shaky camera work.

Exactly right... isn't it awesome?? I hope I'm posting here in 6 years about the Bourne Redundancy 10 - Electric Boogaloo.
I absolutely loved the film. Yes, it has its typical action flick moments and its previously established Bourneisms, but still...the movie was hella tight. ;-)
I do hope they leave it where it ended, though. As much as I loved the movies, I think it would lessen them to make any more.

Right on brother man Troy!!
I watched Ultimatum again the day it came out on DVD but I've yet to do the triple feature. I'm savin' up for that ride, oh yes, I am. That's going to be a beautiful day in front of the 42" plasma and 36" JBL Northridges. Mmmm-mmm.
loved it. excellent film. great role for damon.
Bourne Redundancy 10! that is funny!
I must suck at reviews. I was slightly dissapointed. Not sure what I missed but it felt like something was missing from the film. Ha! but who am I to say.

i thought they really fixed everything that was wrong with Supremacy and I agree that it's really good, but when it comes to action movies, NOTHING beats Die Hard. That thing ripped my face off.
Looks like we're getting a fourth Bourne movie, just, don't know when.
From Variety:
Universal's re-born identity
it's about universal in general, so snippets:
We shall see, eh?

On tap is a fourth "Bourne" movie, but their slate is full of efforts to either launch new franchises or resurrect old ones.

More recently, Shmuger and Linde landed Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon for a fourth "Bourne" movie, even though the director and star seemed ready to wrap it up after three pics.
We shall see, eh?
