Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Wordiezett So much average
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Prashast Singh Let me make it clear: there are two ways in which you can possibly check out this film -Either as something at par with the previous films of the series or as a standalone film.If you're watching it expecting something as great as the previous Bourne movies, then this film might not just impress you, because it misses not just the magic of writing but even Bourne himself (and this is no spoiler). Jeremy Renner is a very good actor who plays Aaron Cross brilliantly, but just don't expect another Jason Bourne; You'll get a first Aaron Cross.And that's something great.If you're watching it as a standalone film, then you might not be disappointed, but due to some continuity and better understanding reasons, it IS recommended to watch the previous movies. Anyways, the film has been shot very well. If there's something this film has at par with the previous movies, then it's undoubtedly the action. All action sequences are mindblowing and exhilarating, especially the chase sequence in the climax: it was really AWESOME!The film however disappoints on the editing front. The first 30 minutes are painfully slow with just a few good shots and scenery. The screenplay is a little convoluted during this time, and it requires a lot of patience to wait for something exciting to happen. The previous Bourne movies were gripping right from the beginning, and this doesn't happen with this one. But right after the first 30 minutes are over, you get exactly what you'd have wished for: explosive action sequences and thrills. From here, the film goes almost right till the end. THE BOURNE LEGACY is an enjoyable action thriller "Bourne" out of the previous films of the series, and with its excellent action sequences proves to be an energetic action thriller worth watching. I hope Jason Bourne and Aaron Cross meet in future. What will that movie be called, then? THE BOURNE EXCELLENCY, I guess.
iganboas I felt the need to defend this movie, as it is not at all a bad film; au contraire, it's a very good one, and I personally find it to be better than its two immediate predecessors.From a storytelling point of view, I find that Supremacy and Ultimatum, while both are very good movies, follow the same standard formula first established in 2002 by Identity, and therefore, they lack the originality factor (yes, I know they're based on the Robert Ludlum novels, but I've never read any of them, so my critique stands), whereas I feel Legacy tells an original story in the already established world that feels fresh and plausible: it tells the story of a black ops agent from another project similar to Treadstone called Operation Outcome, and how the events of the first three films affect him and everyone else involved in Outcome.The action is filmed just as badly as in Supremacy and Ultimatum, where the quick cuts, the shakiness and the weird camera angles make it very hard for you to understand what's going on. The locations on this movie, however, might be the most spectacular yet in the first 4 Bourne films, in particular the Alaskan wilderness.The characters in this film are great and relatable, and the performances, specially from Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz, are amazing. The chemistry between the two was spot on.Edward Norton serves the part as the evil government guy in the computer room chasing our hero that we've come to expect from the Bourne films already. The film is tense and intriguing and keeps you invested in the story. You genuinely care about our two leads and their outcome (no pun intended).In conclusion, this film is a welcome entry in the series, and brings in a much needed breath of fresh air to the saga. Really hope to see Aaron Cross coming back and teaming up with Jason Bourne at some point in the future. Definitely go see this one, guys.
ivo-cobra8 *SPOILERS* Oh boy The Bourne Legacy is not a good movie, but it is way better than Jason Bourne but worse movie than The Bourne Ultimatum. It has great action sequences better than In The Bourne Ultimatum, but that doesn't say much. I never liked The Bourne Ultimatum and I don't like this movie ether. It is not a good movie and I really don't care that there is no Jason Bourne in this movie. I would say it is solid but the character Aaron Cross does not work for me, he is selfish and useless to me a real dead agent! All he cared was to get the Virus and those pills to survive. He saved Dr. Marta Shearing (Rachel Weisz) by agents only to used her to get the pills and the Virus so that he could survive. Seriously this movie is horrible, the plot is weak, not logic and an interesting science fiction movie the lead character Aaron Cross is not likable.This movie is way too long and really boring at sometimes. I like Edward Norton in this he was fantastic I love the actor he is acting skills are fantastic. I actually cared more about Norton's character than Renner character. The airplane vehicle Predator, an unmanned aerial vehicle like the one featured was excellent weapon and I like it. The motor chase was a really decent action stunt in which Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz real performed. That is why I can say the action sequence is much way better than it was performed in Bourne Ultimatum. Rachel Weisz and Jeremy Renner were fantastic and acting from them was really good and I like it. I only liked these three actors I mentioned Edward Norton, Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz and the motor chase sequence an that is all the rest of the movie is useless to me and an watchable except if I want to waste my time. The plot, the sci-fi and the story just didn't worked for me. I didn't like how this movie crucified Pamela Landy (Joan Allen) as the fall guy and the CIA covered everything up and get away with their crimes I really did not like that. I don't understand this movie, Aaron almost did not do anything trough entire movie, he escaped the CIA agents but the bad guy got away he didn't expose them he did not do nothing but run which it is stupid. Someone said it is way better than The Bourne Identity well it is not, it is worse than Bourne Identity. This is not a real spy movie, there are no espionage in here at all. I would rather watch James Bond Movies, The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, XIII: The Conspiracy, The Hunt For Red October, Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger miles way better movies than Bourne Legacy.The rating for me is F 1/10 I don't hate the movie, but I don't like it, it is not a good action movie like everyone is saying it is just a waste of time. The movie starts slow, it is boring, not enjoyable and forgettable.
laclone A waste of 2 hours and 41 minutes. Time which I'll never get back.Although the genetically enhanced agents theme follow-up to the original Bourne series had promise, it fails to deliver.The drug-addicted super agents are supposed to be better than human, but you'll never see anything supporting that claim Yes, it has plenty of action, but not much thought was put to the story line and background of the characters. One walks away without ever caring about any of them.A filler movie, intended to satisfy the desire for the public desire for more Bourne movies. Kind-of like 'New Coke' was suppose to replace the original Coke.
