Matt Damon to reprise role as Jason Bourne

[smackababy]

I'll watch Ultimatum again tonight. I think I even have it on blu ray. I remember watching Legacy at least two times though. I liked the beginning when he's trekking through the woods, and the shoot out at the scientists house. I like all the movies, just don't think one stands out that much more than the others.

I thought the first one stood out as the best, but that is just me. The third was particularly good because it gives resolution to that (the second is more like a silly revenge plot) narrative built in the first. Bourne finds out his identify, finds out he never really stopped Treadstone (the just renamed it and kept going) and comes to terms with his choices and escapes.

Really? I remember most of it being in London.

It doesn't completely take place in the US, but Bourne comes to NY to conclude the business at hand.

First one was always my favorite. Not just cause of less shakey cam or anything, it just felt a lot more like action-adventure, with a lot of "in-between" time spent going about Europe and trying to piece things together. Two I honestly don't remember that much, plus shakeycam. Three was way overboard on SERIOUS action - It felt like every moment was supposed to be super-serious intense important. I get that the plot sort of called for it, but it just lost the fun and enjoyment of the first one with all its super-seriousness.

Meth Damon


He's in that HBO miniseries, Olive Kitteridge.

 

[waffleironhead]

I like the one where Bourne fights Eomer.

 

[ViviTheMage]

would watch every singly one that comes out

 

[Pheran]

Paul Greengrass (directed Bourne 2 & 3) is back on board for this one as well so you may want to stock up on Dramamine.

Yeah, I no longer have any interest whatsoever.

Title just announced: Bourne to be Wild.

 

[vailr]

I thought he was supposed to be starring in The Martian, as the marooned astronaut who cobbles together a potato garden on Mars from a storage bin of frozen french fries, or something like that?

Title just announced: Bourne to be Wild.

LMAO!

 

[John Connor]

I do like spy movies and action flicks. Ronin needs to make a part two. Just WTH was in that case any way?

I have two of the four Bourne movies. But I just hope this is good. I mean how long can you drag this story out?

8.5/10

Didn't he make some comment along the lines of further Bourne movies being completely unnecessary, back when Bourne Legacy was on the cards?

 

[SagaLore]

justing thinking about the shaky cam makes me want to barf.

Yep. I had to leave the theater before the movie was over.

 

[John Connor]

Just got done watching The Bourne Legacy as I have never seen it. So this one doesn't have Jason Bourne and now they need certain pills? Wonder how they will strech this out in 2016?

Incriminating evidence on the Russian.

Incriminating evidence on the Russian.

I think it was IRA.

I actually did barf in the theater when I went to go see the first one.

 

[KeithTalent]

Colour me interested. Bourne 3 with Greengrass and Damon was my favourite one in the series.

I thought the Renner one was terrible. I loved the first three. There was a cohesive story. The Renner one made no sense, there was no real villain, and the movie abruptly ended out of no where.

It was one of the few movies I ever walked out of thinking "what the fuck that was bad". The group of 5 people I was with thought the same.

I came out the same way. At the end of the movie, my thought was "nothing really happened!" Renner escapes and that's it. But there's no real plot other than that. The original trilogy (or any single movie from it) was much better

[StrangerGuy]

Please for the sake of gawd, no more shaky cam.

 

[duragezic]

YES. Finally. Loved the first 3 Bourne movies. Legacy was alright but not near as good.

 

[blankslate]

I didn't mind the shaky cam too much... but the longer non-shaky cam shots in John Wick that let you see more of the action is a direction I'd like to see the next Bourne movie move in.

For those who prefer to read instead of look at pictures, the image depicts a very fit Jason Bourne wearing bandages around his fists, which would seem to imply that he’s been street-fighting. In a foreign country, perhaps? Of course, the last time we saw Bourne, he was still on the run from the US government – after barely surviving a gunshot wound and a fall from a building into the East River of New York – so it’s not entirely surprising that he made his way overseas. On the other hand, it would be a little bit surprising if he resigned himself to a life of bumfighting for pay, but I guess the guy’s gotta eat.

With a little less than a year to go before Bourne 5′s release, we don’t know much about the movie yet.

Spoiler

What we do know, however, is that Vincent Cassel (Black Swan) will play the main villain, Julia Stiles will reprise her role from Bournes 1-3, Tommy Lee Jones will play a CIA officer, Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina) is playing the female lead, and the story will have something to do with the repercussions of the Edward Snowden leak.

A rough outline of the plot and other cast members and their roles is under the spoiler tags. Don't ban me from this thread bro!

*e2a*

Despite complaints about the camera work the film and it's sequels did provide a visceral style of action scenes which, I believe, influenced the Bond films (in terms of some of the types of action those films show the audience) after 2005. Of course some may not consider that a good thing.
