areaseven Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass are back for another chapter of the Bourne saga (and to tell you that The Bourne Legacy didn't happen). Jason Bourne hits theaters on July 29. Jason Bourne @ IMDb Quote
Duke Togo Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 I expect that Damon and Greengrass will bring a certain quality to this sequel. Let's see if they can live up to the promise. Quote
505thAirborne Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 I really enjoyed the first three films alot, so I'm all set for this one. And yeah, the one with Jeremy Renner was so-so. Quote
McFly!! Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 That trailer looks great, hope the story is compelling and plausible! Quote
Thom Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Love to see this continuing. I didn't see Legacy, but all the ones with Damon are stellar! I like that stiles is coming back, as they have a history that needs to be explained - and our boy Jason needs a new squeeze! The first was in 2002, so that's fourteen years... Damon was all 'fresh-faced' when that came out! Quote
spanner Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 yeah sure im down for this! I really enjoyed the Bourne movies! Legacy was ok too I guess.. Quote
kajnrig Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) What even happened in Legacy? No, but more seriously, the sequels were great and all but I was really hoping for a return to the more... mellow? styling of the original. And sure as heck less shaky cam.

kajnrig Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 I know, and it's still one of my few sticking points about his style. But whatever his last movie was, some military one based on real life, I thought that one saw less significant camera shaking, no? Maybe I'm just imagining it. Quote
EXO Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 Captain Phillips? I like Greengrass's style tho'. It mimics documentary style camera work and they don't just shake the camera to show fake urgency. But I do remember not liking the second Bourne movie because I had to sit way in the front of a crowded theatre. I caught it again at home and ended up loving that movie. Quote
Duke Togo Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 This would have been a better trailer id they cut out the flashbacks in the beginning. You shouldn't know for sure that this is a trailer for a new Bourne movie until you hear the guy say "Jesus Christ, that's Jason Bourne." Quote

areaseven Posted July 16, 2016 Author Posted July 16, 2016 Time to dust off the Bourne Trilogy films. In the meantime, here's a look at the differences between the novel and film versions of The Bourne Identity. Quote
areaseven Posted July 18, 2016 Author Posted July 18, 2016 Chris Stuckmann takes a look back at the Bourne Trilogy. "A" "A" "A+" "Who's Stuckmannized now, bitch?" Quote
peter Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) Matt Damon, what a twat. Profits from guns in his films, calls for a ban of civilian ownership. Meanwhile has armed guards to protect him. Matt Damon can go eat a turd sandwich. Edited July 20, 2016 by peter Quote
kajnrig Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 Three tangentially related contexts, but okay. As for me, my ranking goes: Best = Identity Second Best = Supremacy Bronze Medal = Ultimatum Identity doesn't have to rely on camera tricks to convey hectic action. Supremacy cranks things up but there's always one thing that's unnecessarily manic at any time. Ultimatum successfully concludes the trilogy. I remember being super disappointed that Marie got killed off right away in the second movie. Quote

Chewie Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Saw it last night and while I enjoyed the movie, the camera work was absolute garbage. Every scene was shaky and blurry. The quick zooms on EVERYTHING was stupid too. Simple person to person conversations were doing the same thing. Short of that, the movie was good. Same Bourne formula that works. Quote
