the action scenes were way too protracted and drawn out for no reason. there was no sense of momentum or stakes after the first few minutes. they just became "oh look they're still in a car chase / fight sequence" twenty minutes later.
also it would've been nice if they'd hired a cameraman who didn't suffer from terminal parkinson's, everyone came away from their viewing experience with shaken baby syndrome.
all in all, 3/10 and alicia was the best part of the movie

unforgivable: the new version of extreme ways
Aiden King
oh so it was a new version…I knew something sounded off
Jackson Gutierrez
Genuinely disappointed... Honestly it was looking great at the beginning when he was being chased down on a motorcycle, but then after that it was like he was oblivious to what was going on around him and had to be saved by other people at the last second. This just doesn't add up to his flawless execution in the past where in the Bourne Ultimatum he literally walked a man through a mall and kept himself and the other guy out of view of all the CCTV cams and the asset. It was better than legacy, but it didn't feel enough like Jason Bourne taking down the entire agency with ease just for coming after him, as it was him using his dad as an excuse to come after certain people. It was never about getting a specific man before. it was always about taking down the corrupt branch of the CIA as a whole.
Tyler Edwards
The editing was fucking terrible. The average shot length must have been less than a full second, some scenes were unwatchable because of it.
Gavin Williams
I just expected…more. More from the story, more from Matt Damon. He said he'd only return once they found a great story but this clearly wasn't that.
Certain characters were great (Alicia's for example) and the set-up was topical (worse than Snowden etc…etc…) and I liked the inclusion of Stiles'. But the whole movie felt like all the elements of a Bourne story. It lacked the espionage, the mystery, a story with layers to be peeled back. Damon still brings the physicality but there was nothing unique about the action sequences nor was there anything truly suspenseful about them.
Nolan Cooper
*it lacked all the elements of a Bourne story.
I meant to say.
Also I don't see how they can keep making more Bourne movies. It already feels like they are stretching the story thin.
Daniel Thomas

Aaron Clark
Move Matt Damon not speaking to the good section
Levi Gray
I liked it but it's the worst of the 5. Legacy has a ton of problems but it at least isn't the same movie Greengrass has made 3 times now
Alexander Fisher
How much do the first 3 movies take from the books? I know ludlum died and some other guy picked up the stories.
I understand what they were trying to do with bringing bourne up to date, but making topical films with a shit load of culture references never age well.
Hunter Adams
but based on the trajectory of Legacy and JB it seems like they are just doing new stories and not drawing from any of the novels in the bit. Which might be a mistake because this movie felt like it needed an actual Jason Bourne story and not a generic modern action movie story with Bourne in it.
Michael Jackson
BUMP i'm reading it DO NOT DOWNVOTE while i'm reading it please
Jonathan Phillips
The premise of a super spy assassin getting amnesia and that's it. The villain that is the reason book Bourne becomes Bourne wasn't in any of the movies. They didn't use the fake Bourne plot for Supremacy either so the title makes no sense
Lucas Torres
Its weird but this would be my exact criticisms of the Star Trek movie. Well... actually not the villain but, loved the action sequences, the white alien chick was amazing.
Chris Pine could have been better, no real story or intrigue.
Daniel Sullivan
>Vincent Cassel was great as the villain Cassel, in real life, is just an idiot, you see, with lots of air in the head that cannot go elsewhere than a Bad.
>generic modern action movie story with Bourne in it wew i hope you're wrong.
Blake Sanchez
>i hope you're wrong
Don't get your hopes up. They could have replaced Damon with anyone. Apart from Bourne's motivation that was revealed in the trailer ("I volunteered because of a lie") its not a Bourne movie. The story is usual modern action movie stuff with commentary on surveillance etc…
Its watchable but don't expect a movie like the other Bourne movies.
Jack Jones
i can't believe there are no exciting hunting scenes like the Naples one, where Bourne tappes the phone of the local CIA guy to backtrak the CIA
Sebastian Garcia
Are you spying on Snowden?
Dominic Johnson
me? no. i have people to do that for me. i won't give you the source tho.
Wyatt Wilson
screencap from Citizenfour
Camden Thomas
Not great, disappointed. Felt worse when they changed Extreme Ways.
Jeremiah Evans
I would stand in line for this There's always room in life for this
Oh baby, oh baby, then Bourne got punchy in dad pants
Logan Edwards
Vikander was great, shame she smokes.
Fassbender says shame she's not black.
Brandon Morales
My waifu was in it, so it was great. But in all seriousness, it was a decent film, not as good as the first 3. The worst part about it was the scene where he falls off the building and grabs the wire.
