My friend saw Bourne Legacy and said it was terrible. I saw Expendables 2 and thought it was ok.

I haven't seen Bourne Legacy yet; was going to see it last night (Got stuck stacking hay instead.) But I did see Expendables 2. Big thumbs up to that one. Reviews of Legacy are pretty iffy. Tomorrow night I'll see Bourne Legacy, along with Ted. :)

Bourne is boring. Too drawn out and narrative is confusing during the first hour.

Expendables 2 is over-the-top non-believable action. You only go to see this one if you want to relive the 80's with the action heroes you grew up idolizing.

seeing expendables on mon. saw bourne on thurs. good flick and up there with the last 3. not confusing at all if you look at the screen and listen to the audio.

slightly different feel though due to the different actor

I thought Expendables was slated to have a PG-13 rating due to Chuck Norris? They managed to pull off an R rating?

Expendables 2

I thought both of them could have been better, but Expendables 2 as by far a better movie. My largest complaint with it has to be that the script had some rather cringe-worthy attempts at humor. They really need someone to read over the script next time and help with their comedic timing, because it was pretty shitty in a lot of places.

Does Bourne have anything to do with the previous movies?

Sort of. It takes place during Bourne Ultimatum, but it doesn't really deal with Bourne himself. It adds to a tiny bit of the story past Ultimatum.

EDIT:

I described Bourne Legacy previously as feeling like more of a Bond movie than a Bourne movie, but with a drug addict as the lead. :p "I NEED MAH PILLS!"
