I really enjoyed the first one, not so much the second one. This one improved on the second one, but still had a bit too much of that hand camera shooting. I know the intent is to make it look like you are right there with the actors, but it doesn't work in every shot and quickly becomes distracting. It has a pretty standard action flick formula, but managed to leave me satisfied with the movie itself as well as the series as a whole. The car chase was too short IMO, though it was pretty decent. I'd give it a 3 1/2 out of 5.

Im not a big fan of the modern Vin diesel type action hero's,they all seem like fake sissy's to me but i really liked both Bourne's,i have not seen the 3rd yet but i want to,the whole premise of the plot appeals to me & being that the star of the movie is so unlikely to be a tough guy killer the plot works well for me.
I'll be seeing it soon.

I liked the first two Bourne movies, and have read most of the books. I'll probably see this movie.

i thought ultimatum would be against the jackal ... so who was karl urban in the second one?
i thought karl urban survived the second one so that they could fight again in the third ...

I just checked coming soon to the Empire and “The Bourne Ultimatum” will be showing at the Empire screen #1 in DIGITAL presentation and 56KW of THX JBL sound power, opens on Friday August, 17th I’ll be going along for that one.
Oh good. It is intense. If you have pee stop issues, make sure you empty completely beforehand:D

Four books to this. Movies don't follow well but then few movies do that.
This is intense, be ready. Hope they make the 4th as well.
I like the Bourne movies but I'm not sure that I agree that Vin Diesel comes off as a fake sissy. He looked pretty tough in Pitch Black.
Maybe what we need is an Alien vs Predator type of movie. Something along the lines of Vin Diesel (don't remember his name in those movies) vs Bourne type of thing. :D

Vin lost me in that movie XXX,the whole movie was childish,the part where he took a silver serving tray,reflected the sunlight & blinded the sniper,then used it as a skate board to slide down the stairs was too much,not to mention all the ridiculous & obviously fake motorcycle stunts.
He out ran a helicoptor on a motorcycle for god's sake.:rolleyes:

I liked Vin in Pitch Black and Riddick. That's about it though... XXX was at least entertaining, just not good.

I’d just pee in the “coca-cola” bottle that way I don’t miss a single frame.:D
I guess I might have to have an catheter implant the next time. Bottles get too noisy:D
