Movie Review: The Bourne Ultimatum

I'm going to try to do this without any spoilers.  Easier said than done.

 

Wow, that movie rocked.  You shoulda seen me driving back from the movie.  I kept having to tell myself to slow down, because I was flooring it constantly.  So much adrenaline.  Just like the first two Bourne movies, it is non-stop action.  Theres also some humor, a ton of suspense, likable characters as well as hateable characters.  The filming locations are all phenomenal, coming from pretty much all over the world. 

Matt Damon again does a great job as Jason Bourne.  He continues to prove why he is one of the most sought after actors in Hollywood.  He has the skills and the look to pull off the action scenes.  But he also the range and ability to pull off the emotional and intelectual twists and turns.

Julia Stiles repirses her role of Nicky Parsons from the first two movies, although she has a bigger role in this one.  While not the most glamorous of her roles, she nonetheless looks the part and does a great job. 

Joan Allen, meanwhile, reprises her role as Pamela Landy from the second movie, and also does an admirable job.  The character develops a bit more than in the first one, and Joan does it well.

The other actors are all new to the movie, and while nobody necessarily stands out above any others, all do a good job of making the movie as enjoyable as is could have been. 

I give it a 9 out of 10.

 

My one negative is the shaky camera that was prevalent in the 2nd movie.  Seriously, Greengrass, get a steady cam.

Agree -- I really loved it too.  I was fine with the steady cam, but I thought there were one too many flashbacks.  Regardless, I'd give it a 9.5 out of 10.
