And I say this without having seen the previous two at the time. Very action packed, and you can almost consider him the new 007 or something. http://creativeflux.co.uk/entry/bourne-ultimatum/#comments Mon, 27 Aug 2007 20:50:31 GMT http://creativeflux.co.uk/entry/bourne-ultimatum/#comment-2 I agree. I'm not a Matt Damon fan but the film for the kind it is was pretty good. I heard one critic make an interesting observation. He said Damon had perfected looking blank and while this might seem a bit like a slam it is in fact quite difficult to pull off without looking disengaged. The fight scenes were particularly good. Quite believable while bordering on the extraordinary. http://creativeflux.co.uk/entry/bourne-ultimatum/#comments Thu, 30 Aug 2007 05:35:39 GMT http://creativeflux.co.uk/entry/bourne-ultimatum/#comment-3 I saw it the first night it came out and was blown away. The fight scene in the cramped hallways seemed a tad long for my liking, but by only having the sound of them fighting (no other music or effects) it made it errily close to home. One thing about the ending: When I saw him go over the edge and into the water, they made it seem as though he were dead. While it was a possibility, I doubted it right away thinkin "No, Bourne can't die!". Surely enough, he swam away. I really liked the first two and, while I agree that Supremacy wasn't quite up to par, I'd definetly by a box-set of the three. The books, while good, aren't quite as entertaining as the film versions, which is a rare thing indeed. http://creativeflux.co.uk/entry/bourne-ultimatum/#comments Wed, 19 Sep 2007 18:10:27 GMT http://creativeflux.co.uk/entry/bourne-ultimatum/#comment-4 A thinking mans James Bond> I can only assume they have the same initials by either an overwhelming coincidence or a knowing in-joke on Ludlum's behalf. I can't say I can distinguish between the three in either content or appeal as I thought they were all top class. There's an obvious distinction in style pertaining to each individual director, the latter having an almost similar intnsity to Greengrass's supreme 'United 93'. Overall though top notch (and more importantly, intelligent) action. Looking forward to the next installment. p.s. hey dru :)
