Topic: The Bourne Ultimatum (movie)

[MysterD]

I just came back from watching this at the theatres, not too long ago.

Action-packed, from start to finish.
My eyes are buzzing still.

Yeah, I liked it -- it was pretty good.

What did y'all who seen this think of this one???

[ScaryTooth]

I still need to see the second one, but we definitely want to go see it.

[Quemaqua]

I just recently saw the first, which was pretty decent.  Nothing to write home about, but not bad for a spy/action type flick.  I need to see the second still.

I thought the same thing after seeing the first movie. When I watched the second my interest in the series piqued. I don't think the second was that much better than the first, in fact, it may even have been a bit worse. Regardless, for some reason I got hooked in with the second. The third is the best of the bunch though. One of the best spy/action flicks I've ever seen. I was pretty much entirely sucked in for the duration of the movie. If you even kind of liked the first one, you should watch the second so you can get to the third.

I've always like this series. Hope to see the 3rd one this week but no one wants to go with me. And by no one I mean my brother. He only watches horrible movies.

My mother wants to go see this like yesterday.  I guess I'll let her take me & pay for it, maybe even tomorrow/later today.

Given the success of the three Ludlum Bourne books became movies....

...do you think they're turn Lustbader's The Bourne Legacy (2004) and probably one day The Bourne Betrayal  (2007) into movies?

It could happen. At this point the movies have nothing to do with the books anyways. From what I've heard those two books suck but it's two more titles for them. If they get the same cast back and maintain the quality of the first 3 it'd be great, but leaving it as a trilogy is just fine.

I enjoy the series, I just don't particularly like how the fighting scenes are shot. The camera work pisses me off. It never really focuses in, it's shaky and quite jerky. Even still, I'll probably rent this on DVD when it comes out.

Of course, that's done to try to add the impression that the fighting in this movie is erratic and rough.

Damon has said he'll do no more Bourne movies, and I hope he keeps word and they leave it at 3. Though I would like to see Damon in other action type roles now that we've seen that he can pull them off.

I hate shaky cam. It ruined some perfectly good fight scenes in the other movies and is just generally annoying. 3rd one has it too, but it doesn't seem as bad. You could tell what was going on in the fight scenes without much effort. I wish they'd just never have done it though

The fighting is what it is. Shaking the camera doesn't make it any rougher, it just makes it harder to tell what the hell is going on.

I don't remember getting nauseous at the other 2 movies.  The shaky cam is horrible in this one.  My brother thought so too.  His comment was that the action sequences might have been pretty good if he could actually see what was going on.  Other than this, I liked the movie.  What's the song when the fancy end credits roll?  I really like it.

[ren]

Extreme ways by Moby. That videos shows the end of Bourne Identity with the music. Don't click unless you've seen it.

edit:

This ones from the end of Bourne Ultimatum:

Same song but redone version. Not sure if I like it better or not.

[Cobra951]

lol I don't think I would've minded the shaky cameras except I was sitting in the second row. I'll have to see it again from the very last row.

1st comment in your 2nd link

Haha.  I thought the same thing.  It may be more enjoyable on a good TV set.

That's a very short version of the song.  I'm pretty sure it went longer than that in the end credits.

[iPPi]

Finally saw it last night and highly enjoyed it.  Very tense and great action sequences.  The shaky cam is a little annoying, especially when it's during the dialogue sequences.  That's just retarded.

But the action sequences and the car chase were amazing!

[angrykeebler]

LOLOLOL

[Cobra951]

That's freaking hysterical.  Oh, man.

[Quemaqua]

That's got to be one of the best running gags on TV.

[MysterD]

LMFAO @ Damon and Guillermo.

Hilarious.

[iPPi]

I agree.
