Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Bobance69 One of the best action flicks I've ever seen. From the moment the movie starts until it's jolting end, you are on the ride of your life. Damon, who I would have never imagined as an Action Star, has solidified his place among one of the greats.
haventmadeupmymindyet There's nothing left to say that I haven't already said about how great it is this franchise.
Parker Lewis When Bourne I was released, there was no Facebook an Twitter. With Bourne III, Facebook became a world presence, and Twitter was one year old believe it or not, and the junior senator from Illinois was about to boldly declare his nomination to be the Democratic Party in the 2008 presidential election. Still, the CIA could still track Bourne without Twitter.The London Waterloo scenes are impressively shot, and I wondered how it was done. You can read about it in The Independent article "Paul Greengrass admits tricking commuters during Bourne Ultimatum filming". During the filming I saw some bystanders pointing to Bourne. It's Matt Damon!!!Also impressive were the scenes in New York City. THe Big Apple comes alive with Jason Bourne. One poignant scene was where Julia Stiles' Nicky Parsons has a hairdo while on the run, that painfully reminds Bourne of his murdered German girlfriend (Franka Potente), who appears in a flashback in this movie.Who would have thought that Bourne would return a decade later in Jason Bourne?
CinemaCocoa The super spy is Bourne.With nothing else to live for, Jason Bourne seeks the final answers to the fractured memories and ghost recollections about what was done to him.The Bourne Ultimatum is a rare third act for a film series; it isn't overblown, it doesn't contrive or skew to "enhance" the story outside of its themes for a bigger showdown. This is an effective conclusion that not only ties up the loose ends that our hero has been suffering, but also maintains a fantastic consistency with its previous films.Something very few third parts ever manage.Bourne Supremacy director Paul Greengrass returns to direct Matt Damon, and by 2007 the two men are well versed in what works and what doesn't. Especially for the Bourne films, and they deliver a roller-coaster urban thrill ride of action. Bouncing off the foundations of Bourne Supremacy, Ultimatum strikes it rich with its two leading ladies Julia Stiles and Joan Allen. Allen playing Pamela Landy, the only surviving official who has first hand knowledge of Bourne's skills and the only one prepared to help the situation, does an excellent job filling the sympathetic gap left by Brian Cox and making a layered character who answers much of the franchise's questions. In the antagonist role, asides from the half-dozen different super agents sent after Bourne, is David Strathairn, who doesn't rise too much farther than Chris Cooper did in Identity, but is a good fit in the role as a merciless official hunting down Bourne.The role of a total schmuck who Bourne continuously runs rings around with spectacular fashion and incredible ease, more like. The film is as enjoyable and rewarding as it is thrilling and suspenseful!We see Bourne in full super spy mode in this film, he is in control and cold as ice. There are pivotal scenes that show how Bourne has tried reconciliation, he's tried to let go of what he's done in the past but he cannot shake the memories that are resurfacing. What we get is a conclusion with Bourne on the warpath. An action movie through-and-through. The film opens with a fantastic scenario in London; where Bourne via phone is navigating someone else through a crowd to not be seen by officials. That should be really hard to film, but Greengrass nails it; you know exactly what's happening, the spaces involved and line of sight. It is followed by the chase in Morocco, a chase and fight sequence that was so incredible that it influenced the Bond franchise for a decade at least, as well as other movies in the genre. Granted there's more shaky-cam in the fight sequence again, but the steadier cinematography for the initial rooftop chase and incredible tension before that makes me go easier on it.It is a tremendous movie and ties both the moodier Identity and the white-knuckled Supremacy together and actually builds on and improves them, delivering a hugely satisfying conclusion for Bourne in the process.
