The Bourne Identity...whoah

[NFS4]

I got this movie pre-owned from Blockbuster a month ago and just now got the chance to watch it. Damn that sh!t is awesome!! Loved the Mini chase

Funny that you say that. That chase scene was the first time I heard "Ready, Steady, Go" outside of his Bunkka album.

I thought it was a fairly decent movie also but if you have the time, and haven't already, read the books. They are excellent.

 

[notfred]

It's a shell, not an identity.

 

[kermalou]

books are great

 

[aphex]

How much?

books are much better than the movie. Imo, it shouldn't have been called Bourne Identity b/c it had nothing to do with that story line.

I probably still wouldn't have enjoyed the movie even if it wasn't called Bourne Identity, too many plot holes.

Yep, saw that movie a couple months ago when it first came out on DVD... awesome movie...

I was both unimpressed by the movie and by how poorly Damon performed in the fight scenes.

 

[sandorski]

Good movie.

He's hardly a natural martial artists/fighter, like a Jet Li

Thought it was a great movie

 

[Looney]

Fight scenes were awesome. Personally, the movie was a bit long and very predictable. I thought it was ok... 5/10 imo.

One of the "bars" the Matrix raised was that actors who are involved in fight scenes must be properly trained. That's one of the things that made it so great - That guy right there, doing the kicking and blocking and punching in perfect form - THAT'S THE ACTOR! Holy cow!

As a result, I expect future movies to include such things. Consider Jennifer Garner, who kicks FREAKING ass because she actually learned Tae Kwon Do prior to "Alias."

 

[wyvrn]

Great movie, I loved it.

 

[Yossarian]

it was a string of chase sequences and fights, it barely qualifies as a movie.

 

[Angrymarshmello]

Keanu was pretty stiff in The Matrix. Knowledgeable in martial arts? Yes. Perfect form? Hardly. Go back and watch the first fight with Morpheus - it's pretty obvious he was trying too hard. And what particular fight scenes in TBI were bad?

The lobby of the bank, for example. They weren't cutting it so quickly to be stylish, they were doing so because if they didn't, you'd realize how much ass Damon was sucking at his choreography.

I hate movies that cut fight scenes that quickly. It's NEVER stylish. I want a long shot. I want to see multiple angles, but COHERANTLY.

And you're only able to say that he didn't have perfect form after how many viewings? And would you have noticed if it was cut similar to the fight scenes in BI?

Well maybe they should have cut it more like BI... then it wouldn't seem so stiff. And yes, it was absolutely horrible the first time i saw Keanu fight in the dojo.

I loved Bourne Identity. I heard there are going to be others in the series. I hope it's true.

 

[Miramonti]

The acting was a bit disappointing, but the movie was fun. Both damon and potenta are better actors than that film showed.
