ya, imitate, take credit for work all assisinations and draw carlos out.

that was the main theme of the book and it wasn't part of the movies at all.

Yeah, but in the case of the Bourne books and movies, they pretty much re-wrote the entire thing.

The only thing connecting the movies to the books is a character with amnesia by the name Jason Bourne. I ike what they've done with the Bourne series as movies....but I'd love to see movie trilogy actually following the books.

Curious, what was wrong with them adding the girl scene at the end of Supremacy? I liked that scene, seemed to tie up the loose ends rather nicely. Sure, he didn't need to visit her, but his character calculated everything so perfectly, it just made sense that he'd make up for his mistake down the line. Perhaps that makes the character too perfect.

exactly, it's not that i disliked the movies. i just would like to have seen the movies done in the true spirit of the book.

but frankly, i'm not sure i would have chosen matt damon for the part, he looks a little young to me to be bourne.

Matt Damon was born in 1970. Wasn't the character's DOB 197x?
