Jason Bourne (Paul Greengrass, July 29, 2016) Movie • Page 2

Never been a big Jeremy Renner fan, and The Bourne Legacy ruined him by association for me.

Glad to know that Damon and Greengrass will be at the helm for this movie, as the original trilogy still holds up for the most part. Just wish they had stuck with the usual title pattern rather than Jason Bourne, but that should have no effect the film's quality.

 

I thought the Renner version was fine... it just didn't seem necessary. Regardless, I'd watch it again. I remember the first time I saw The Bourne Ultimatum in theaters. I loved it so much, I had to see it again. I went back a week later and saw the movie again. I think I ended up seeing it one more time in theaters. It was that good to me at the time. I can't wait for this one. My favorite movie series.

 

Ultimatum is incredible but I think Supremacy is my favorite.

 

Hoping this continues the tradition of totally crazy car chases. The trilogy has some of the best put on film.

 

If the SWAT truck from the trailer is any indication, the answer is a big ol' FUCK YES.

 

Genuinely thought that this was out a lot sooner. Feels like I've been seeing trailers for months.

 

I've seen next to no publicity on this movie yet. Should be heating up next week

 

Yea, the lack of a marketing campaign to this point doesn't inspire a whole lot of confidence. I'm assuming it's because Universal was putting all of its efforts into "Secret Life of Pets."

 

Uhhh I've seen ton and I barely watch TV

 

The Bourne series are some of my favorite movies of all-time, but something really feels off about this. Just saw a new trailer on TV and... ugh. I'll see this opening weekend but my expectations are really low.

 

Oh shit didn't realize this was so soon. Stoked for this.

 

I saw the trailer quite a bit when it was released but then nothing recently.

 

Probably not a big surprise, but this didn't come close to anything from the trilogy. And just a heads up: Bourne doesn't get any more than a couple dozen lines of dialogue in this one.

 

Pretty unnecessary sequel. Basically lifts plot points from the three other movies and adds bigger actions sequences and more brooding. Alicia Vikander is a waste in this too, unfortunately. Stick to the original trilogy.

 

Pretty disappointed by this. It's a complete rehash of the previous Bourne movies. It's enjoyable but we've seen this all before and done better. I didn't like the revelations about his father, it all felt very cliché and exactly the kind of plot development you'd expect to see in any old Hollywood action movie, which is something the previous entries in the franchise avoided. I feel like the original Bourne movies heavily influenced the action movies we see today, but I don't think this particular film will have anywhere near the same impact. It's just more of the same.

 

How is this tracking? I haven't heard much about it so I'm assuming it's going to be another 2016 sequel/reboot that underperformes at the box office.

 

Read a headline somewhere that said it's looking like a $50-$60m opening weekend.

 

Jason Bourne SPOILER FREE Review

 

I'm really bummed to hear the bad buzz :( I love the other movies (not Legacy; that one isn't bad, it's just nothing special) and was looking forward to this.

 

Going to see this tonight. Still looking forward to it, despite the mixed reviews.

 

So I'm not sure what's up with all the negative reviews, but I really, really enjoyed this. Gave me all I wanted from a new Bourne film. Left me wanting another one.

 

Yeah I really enjoyed this as well; I haven't seen the original three films in a long time, so I'm not really able to compare it to those three, but on it's own, it was highly enjoyable. Basically one long action set piece. It was really fun following all the different plot points and piecing them together. Ending leaves it open for another one, but the feeling you get is that it's an ending for the series

 

Rewatched Ultimatum last night. It's such a perfect ending to the series, it really is a shame they brought it back just to rehash everything all over again. This movie leaves the series with a weaker conclusion, if this is the last one they make... Ultimatum is so compelling and exciting from start to finish, whereas the story in this new one didn't grab me at all. This movie kinda undermines everything that happened in Ultimatum as well, seeing as the "Blackbriar" and "Treadstone" programmes were just continued on under a different codename ("Iron Hand", if I remember correctly), despite all the major bad guys getting arrested at the end of Ultimatum.

 

This makes me feel sad. Haven't watched the new one yet.
