Default Re: I Really Disliked The Bourne Ultimatum

[ QUOTE ]
The movie got very good reviews almost everywhere and the audience at the theater I was in yesterday loved it--big applause at the end.

But I thought it was awful. I thought United 93 was the best film of last year, so it's not the director and his herky-jerky action style. There was simply no story, it struck me as a two-hour-plus chase. Damon never spoke more than ten words at a time, so I can't say whether his acting was good or not.

I find the Robert Ludlum Bourne series (or Ludlum in general) is sort of like real tasty "junk food". It can be fun while you eat it but you simply don't feel good about yourself after.

To feel better and watch real espionage rent Le Carre's Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy.

But my guess is you already know that [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
