Drop by and share your info on films from 1984 or learn something. Either way is good.

 

[Roose Bolton]

I did. Liked it, though it wasn't close to the quality of the trilogy.

I saw it too, and frankly I think the critics went soft on it.

 

[Guts]

Victarion doesn't sleep. He just goes to juntas.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I saw it too, and frankly I think the critics went soft on it.

I can totally get that. I liked seeing Damon again, I crush on Vikander and I thought Cassel was kind of fun with his crazy eyes. Though you have to wonder why anyone would hire him to be a secret assassin. Those eyes give him away way too easily.

But unlike the first three films there is no tension. Bourne flicks are thrillers, and this just wasn't thrilling. The plot was weaker then usual and the two major plot lines were a combination of underwhelming and stupid. Had to roll my eyes for the reasoning for why Bourne was brought back into the game. And yet, I enjoyed myself.

My mom saw it and she is a big fan of the Damon films. She echoes most criticisms of it, especially wasting Tommy Lee.

What's funny is... I've never sat down and watched any of the BOURNE films. I've seen clips and that's it. Which is weird because I met some of the guys that did fight coordination and helped to train Damon when I was in L.A. years back doing my martial arts thing. Damon and the other characters use A LOT of Filipino Martial Arts in the Bourne film's fight choreography.

One, awesome story. Two, you should totally watch them. The first one is more standard, but I feel like the finale and love story really elevate it. The two sequels are just great films imo.

 

[flickchick85]

The original Bourne trilogy is excellent, and a must-watch for any fans of the genre, imo. Especially the two Greengrass sequels. I like the first one just fine, but like Darth says, it's a bit more "standard fare" than the two that followed.

 

[Guts]

So far Leslie Jones is the most hilarious character in the movie.

This especially irked me. It felt lazy and repetitive, and I think after Ultimatum ended they needed something to justify this series continuing...this was just

I did really like Cassel though. At least until the "twist" with his character, which was very unnecessary.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Bourne could have used a Russian taxi in the car chase in the new movie.

Yeah that taxi chase was classic. Though I liked the Vegas one too.

I also liked Ghostbusters.

 

[Reek]

i felt there was no need for any more Damon (or bourne movies... i wont get into that Renner BS)... after Julia Stiles gave that little smirk and Bourne swam away... corny sure... but it was freaking cool with the bourne music kicking in.

The twist was hilarious, I did laugh in the theater. I totally thought Greengrass wouldn't push the whole thing that far, but he did. Like they said F' it, why not.

Spoiler

I much preferred him simply seeking vengeance. It turned what Bourne did on its head nicely. The idea that he was responsible for hurting others in his position. But nope, had to watch him walk away from his daddy's bombing. Cheapened the traitor line imo.

For bringing Bourne back into everything, I actually really liked where they were going with Vikander's character. [BLACKOUT]Bringing Bourne back into the program[/BLACKOUT]. That would have been far more intriguing imo.

Care chase is fun, totally agree. It was more of a joke about how indestructible that taxi was. I fully believe Bourne could have taken the SWAT vehicle out with it.

That really was the perfect ending, imo.

Oh ha, too true.

This is true, but I still wanted more. I still want more even if I didn't fall in love this time. Bourne has pretty much become American Bond, so I am always game for another one of his adventures.

Damon needs to be Black Mask in Batfleck 1

The villain should be deacon blackfire.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

The villain should be deacon blackfire.

Considering the story so far, I would love for it to be Scarecrow, mixed with the Red Hood story. Except not like Arkham Knight. Please not that.

 

[Victarion]

Seems like only yesterday D. Blackfire was gonna be the villain in tdkr.

 

[Guts]

I only know about him from Arkham Knight but it would be fantastic for Damon to play a homeless crazy guy.

The modern hype needs more nonsensical posts.
