Greetings,

I thought I would post this for all of you Jason Bourne fans as I just got back from the first viewing at the local theater of the newest release "The Bourne Ultimatum" .

If you are a a fan of the series I think you would like this one too, in fact each new episode was a little better than the first, at least to me.

WOW!! I freaking loved this movie, good stuff! anyway, here's hoping for another Bourne movie.

Was this one filled with "shaky cam" scenes that made half the audiences of Bourne 2 running for the garbage can?

they wrote a 4th book, so how would making a 4th movie be a disgrace?

Ironically, the 4th book is called the Bourne Betrayal. and it's not written by Ludlum altho his name still runs accross the top of the cover. it's written by Lustbader.

Was unaware of that. Does it compare to the first 3, or does it suck since its written by someone else?

I was going to comment on this but I didn't want to violate the "SPOILER" issue, but to me it is certainly left open for another movie or it can end here...we'll have to wait and see.

yes it was, just like one and two, I guess its the way the director likes to do them. It doesn't bother me at all.

The first one didn't bother me as bad as the 2nd. I watched both of them in the theatre. The 2nd one seemed to use that shaky cam almost exclusively.

I didn't think it was nearly as bad as the 2nd one...i agree about the 2nd one...it was too much. I think they toned it down a bit for this one.

The second - the constant movement bothered me. I watched it a few times on cable and it didn't bother me that much in the theater, but watching it on TV just killed me. Going to see this tomorrow though.

I saw it last night at 11:59 PM, the premier. It was to me, without a doubt, the best of the Bourne trilogy to date! Highly recommended.

Ummm....the books were a disgrace to themselves. The farther you progressed into the story the more you had to put up with rambling bullshit and convenient plot occurrences.
