SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

imdb-3466 Boring, shaky, bad, and stupid.And Alicia in her worst role ever.I have noting more to say than all others.. But I.AM.DISAPPOINTED!

Better_TV I don't get the hate for this film. It was fun, with plenty of cool fights and two absolutely incredible car chases (one in Greece and one in Las Vegas, where Matt Damon and Vincent Cassel practically demolish the Strip). Director Paul Greengrass's notorious shaky-cam shots were toned down substantially by my reckoning; I could always tell what was going on, and the direction was quite straightforward. If anything, THAT's the issue with "Jason Bourne": it's kinda plain, kind of "been there, done that." Absolutely nothing unique or original happens in terms of plot, and there even seems to be a bit of retconning going on in an effort to add more secrets to Bourne's past. There's a halfhearted attempt to add some metaphorical meat to this mostly empty-headed action romp by inserting actor Riz Ahmed into the proceedings; he's a Mark Zuckerberg-type who secretly received funding from CIA goon Tommy Lee Jones when his company was just a startup. This subplot ultimately goes nowhere, providing only a facile, skin-deep exploration of privacy and security themes that were explored far better in previous Bourne flicks (especially "The Bourne Ultimatum").I do agree with critics that Tommy Lee Jones's performance is listless and flat, even though it's possible that he's just trying to portray the character as calm and unperturbed under pressure. It's still disappointing, given the fantastic government spooks who have hounded Jason Bourne in previous movies: Chris Cooper, Brian Cox, Joan Allen, David Strathairn, Scott Glenn. Those actors were giving it their all; hard to believe Tommy Lee Jones is here.Alicia Vikander is cool though, sorta-kinda taking Julia Stiles's place as the new young CIA upstart working to track Bourne down. I liked her performance a lot - supremely driven and confident. And Vincent Cassel plays the Asset, an expert assassin tasked with helping the CIA take Bourne down; he plays it straight, and perfectly sells his character as a remorseless killer.At the end of the day, this is an average action movie. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, and yeah - it's weaker than previous Bourne films. But it's hardly the travesty some people have made it out to be. If they do another one, the filmmakers would be wise to get really ambitious and do something truly original - not just with the action setpieces, but with the plot and story as well.

Prashast Singh Missed Jason Bourne after THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM ? Well, then it's time to celebrate because he's back! Luckily this time, he has his name in the title, JASON BOURNE, and this film really delivers unprecedented fun with its knockout action sequences and suspenseful plot twists.Matt Damon never stops impressing as JB (Well, who would want him to?) and this film is just another example that a well-written character can drive an entire film on its own shoulders. Alicia Vikander is impressive and worth watching out for. Others are also in a top form, and with the screenplay avoiding unnecessary subplots and sticking only to the main plot, this film also impresses on the writing front.Technically, this is a stronger film in the series. It showcases a lot of beautiful locations with vibrant colors, and the cinematography is impressive yet again. The action sequences are more stylish and top notch, and have been filmed in a way that can make anyone feel like a part of the sequences!While it can be said that overall it's not that great as the trilogy, there's no denying that JASON BOURNE stands out as an example of a masterfully crafted action thriller which improves even more on the best aspects of those movies.

kevin-brisbane Disappointing if you like the others this is a shame
