So, today, I decided to have myself a little movie marathon. I went with the Bourne movies, which I hadn’t seen yet. And back to back at that.
The Bourne Identity… a DAMN good film! nice acting, great story, and the pacing was well thought out. It also had a great car chase and some cool fighting.
The Bourne Supremecy… pretty good story, and again the pacing was nice. I was surpised that that taxi Jason Bourne stole kept going after being crashed so many times during that chase!
The Bourne Ultimatum… CRAP! The story was just ok. The main car chase was WAY too similar to the one in Supremecy (the chase even ended the same!). The ending of the film was pretty cool, but there were two main things that bugged me a bit. 1) The first half of the film is apparently REALLY part of the second film that we never got to see. 2) The whole film was shot handheld, and the damn thing shook enough that I thought I’d go into seisures! I mean, ok, I was annoyed by the amount of handheld use done in Children of Men… the shaking in this film made CoM look like a well placed tripod shot!
Children of Men was a great movie.
well, we all have our oppinions…
