Aren't the Bourne Movies Great?

[Jadow]

God what fun movies, they keep you entertained and on the edge of your seat all the way through.

Best action movie series of decade.

First one was. After that they were complete crap because of the ass photography they used. Unwatchable in the extreme. Complete waste of some of the best books I've read.

They're only loosely based on the books.

As for the movies themselves, I thought they were great, assuming you have an attention span greater than that of a 10 year old.

Shooter was better.

I enjoyed Shooter but I wouldn't compare it to the Bourne series.

The first one was great. The second one... not so much. The third one was awesome.

i love all three of them.

i like matt damon too.

but yes i agree that the camera-work is done to conceal the fact that jason borne is not as kick-ass as we imagine him to be.

Shooter was good, but it's no Bourne.

 

[Jadow]

I really liked Shooter as well!

As for the camera work in Bourne usually I'm the first one to hate the hand cam, but for some reason, I just don't mind it in Bourne.

I have to agree that the shaky cam stuff was a bit overdone, but in the end I did enjoy the movies.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Actually, I haven't seen any of the Bourne movies.

 

[Nikamichi]

Shaky cam was overdone, but it did not ruin the movie experience at all.

Another :thumbsup: for Shooter, but it really wasn't on the same plane as Bourne.

neither have I. Was starting to watch the first one one day, but for some reason I had no motivation to actually pay attentio and my mind was tired, so I gave up and watched some comedy. Next time I tried was with a group of friends, and all of us decided after about 15 minutes, that we'd rather watch Team America. lol

I do want to watch it, but it has to be when I'm alone or with someone else who really wants to watch them. They look great but I just haven't gotten around to watching them.

Not me. I tried to read the first one (after the movie), and all I kept saying to myself "Thats not in the movie!"

 

[NFS4]

The quick shot fast camera switching fight scenes give me a fucking headache.

 

[Kelemvor]

Definitely was a great series. I wish they'd make some more of them.

Only have seen the first 2 and enjoyed them both very much. Will get #3 when out of DVD.

 

[GTaudiophile]

I have thoroughly enjoyed all three.
