Saw it last night. Action was good, but the filming was again the issue. TOO MUCH HAND CAM. It makes the action feel more frenetic, but also makes it hard to follow at times. I don't know why this director likes to shoot like this, but the second film had this issue and I hated it (same director). At this point, the story is very familiar and rolls out very similarly to the other films, though this one managed to hold up for the most part. It adds more to the backstory of Bourne and fit in well with the series IMO. It didn't cliffhanger into certainty of another film, but leaves the door wide open. Story didn't feel totally fresh, but was at least trying to be relevant with today's tech.

They tried poorly to discuss and involve tech in this one and sort of failed for anyone who knows anything. Showing a techie looking building and saying "XXX company location:Silicon Valley" rather than an actual location, which doesn't quite fit when the film is screened here...and it didn't even look like here lol (could be, probably not). Hollywood clearly doesn't have a good grasp of the things they're trying to talk about in many cases and this one felt like a good example to me - I've seen TV shows with better grasp of tech.

IMO, rental not a must see in theaters, but it was an entertaining evening out. It was a mixed bag, but not a bad action flick.

I enjoyed "Jason Bourne". This has been my favorite movie series.

I don't think "Jason Bourne" was as good as all the other Bourne movies in the series. I thought the first 3 Bourne movies and the last one with Jeremy Renner were all better than "Jason Bourne".

But I still greatly enjoyed this movie.

I hope Matt Damon and Jeremy Renner's characters team up in the next Bourne movie. :D

The only good one was the first one IMO. Supremacy sucked hard. Ultimatum was not bad, better than this one IMO. Did not see the Renner one.

so much confusion in this thread:
1) The Bourne Identity (2002) - IMDB 7.9
2) The Bourne Supremacy (2004) - IMDB 7.8
3) The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) - IMDB 8.1
4) The Bourne Legacy (2012) - IMDB 6.7
5) Jason Bourne (2016) - Imdb (early bird score) - 7.1

Going by IMDB (typically decent mass market score) Ultimatum was best Identity 2nd best. I yet to see 4th one, but have low expectations

Edit: Forgot 2004 movie

Supremacy (2004) says IMDB of 7.8 so that isn't saying a lot. Greengrass directed Supremacy, Ultimatum and this one. Of those three, Ultimatum was the better one to me.

Rottentomatoes has this one at 57%. IMO it was a little better than that.

Not buying no more of these Bourne films. I have the DVD's HD-DVD bluray near field remixes no more.

Most especially... firearms. Errant portrayals are more common than accurate depictions.
