Pros: Damon, Allen, Strathairn, Considine, Finney, Greengrass's direction, story
Cons: Some may be bothered by Greengrass's abundant hand-held shots
Summary: As long as Jason Bourne lives, those in charge at the CIA will stop at nothing to see him dead. In The Bourne Ultimatum, Bourne (Matt Damon), a trained assassin of the now-defunct Treadstone project, continues to live a life of secrecy, three ... read more

Pros: Action
Ties Trilogy Together
Cons: Loose Ends
Attempted Love Interest
Summary: I've seen the other Bourne films. Can't say that I was all that impressed. The action is intense, but with current films becoming more and more intense, it's hard to really shock the audience anymore. Bourne Ultimatum should tie up the loose ends. ... read more

Pros: Matt Damon, Joan Allen and great cast. Excellently choreographed chase scenes.
Cons: They have stuck to the formula with unrelenting zeal.
Summary: I love Matt Damon as an actor, I love this series, but it's enough already. You know it's sort of like when you meet someone new, and the first (insert anything here), is great. The next couple of times it's still lots of fun, but over time, you start ... read more

Pros: awesome action, great closure
Cons: none
Summary: The Bourne Ultimatum is easily the most action-packed in the Bourne Identity trilogy, and a perfect ending to the story. It's not my favorite (that honor goes to Bourne Identity) but it's a major upgrade to the Bourne Supremacy - and for that I am glad. ... read more

Pros: Great acting especially by Damon and Allen; spectacular car chase
Cons: Julia Stiles needs more to do; shaky camera work
Summary: Jason Bourne has seen better days. Of course, it would help if he could remember those days. However, circumstances are telling him that he needs to recover his lost memories if he is ever wants to have a moment’s peace, and in doing so may be more ... read more

Pros: Matt Damon is good-looking and a pretty fair actor
Cons: Monochromatic visuals, preposterous antics, boring chasing/driving/shooting/killing/smashing/yelling etc.over-edited
Summary: Sorry folks, but I really found the whole show disappointing. Visually it's more of that current trend towards monochromatic blue/green presentation.Totally unnatural looking, even the daytime scenes were the same monotonous green/blue/dark colour ... read more

Pros: If you've seen the other two Bourne movies you must complete the story.
Cons: Blurry action scenes and boring non-action scenes.
Summary: First off I must say that I like the concept of the story and think Matt Damon is a cutie. However, I did not enjoy this movie. The major problem with this movie is how the filmed it. Were they using personal handheld cameras run by someone with the ... read more

Pros: Great acting. White-knuckle thrills. Fantastic fights & car chases.
Cons: Over-use of hand-held shaky camera shots.
Summary: In 2002, we had The Bourne Identity, a slick, exciting, well-constructed thriller about an amnesiac assassin named Jason Bourne. In 2004, we were given its sequel, The Bourne Supremacy, in which Jason Bourne continues his search to find out ... read more

Pros: fast paced thriller once the C.I.A turns unto itself.
Cons: the action takes a little while to really heat up.
Summary: 'Ah, but you can't kill me, Louis' Lestat ('Interview with a Vampire') The C.I.A. and Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) find themselves expressing a similar sentiment to each other immediately after 'The Bourne Ultimatum' begins. Bourne is of course on the ... read more

Pros: CINEMATOGRAPHY AND STUNT WORK
Cons: Too many characters asking Bourne: You really don't remember? Duh.
Summary: The Following is a True Story: Craftswoman, also known as Marcy decided to use the movie pass she won at work by guessing some silly movie trivia questions. After searching online to see what movies were playing, she decided to see The Bourne ... read more

Pros: Smartly written and acted, intelligent movie.
Cons: Not much at all...
Summary: Bourne is back, and this time he coming home to New York City—eventually. As I stated in my review of The Bourne Supremacy, some action movies can be judged solely on their 'money scenes': those fistfights, car chases, gun battles, and ... read more

Aug 09 '07
Pros: The first two in this series
Cons: Only the direction, camera work, dialog, stunts, etc.
Summary: I am all for hiring the handicapped, but hiring a blind director and a camera person suffering from serious palsy is beyond common sense. This movie should have been a slam dunk. The first two were very good. Direction, camera work, actors and action ... read more

Pros: Fast-paced action, ultra-realistic fight scenes, awesome on-location filming, and solid acting.
Cons: A bit of a slow start.
Summary: "Bourne Ultimatum" is the highly-anticipated finale to the Bourne series, and that's lamentable. What isn't is that we didn't have to wait as long as we did for the "Terminator" and "Die Hard" franchises. And even though all 3 Terminators rank among my ... read more

Pros: Matt Damon, Cohesive structured story, Ideal Trilogy
Cons: Hyper-aggressive camera direction
Summary: Is there really anything that Bourne can’t accomplish? Battle multiple people with highly-trained lethal attacks, effectively navigate through several high speed car chases, constantly avoiding capture and evading every type of surveillance, oh yeah, ... read more

Pros: Great cinematography, directing, acting, and a spell binding plot.
Cons: Once again I could have seen more of the lovely Julia Stiles!
Summary: The Bourne Ultimatum is absolutely breath taking. I'm sure that other reviewers have already howled about the heart pounding action, incredibly inventive cinematography and fantastically taut story line. I will go into all of these aspects of this ... read more
