It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

When Bourne I was released, there was no Facebook an Twitter. With Bourne III, Facebook became a world presence, and Twitter was one year old believe it or not, and the junior senator from Illinois was about to boldly declare his nomination to be the Democratic Party in the 2008 presidential election. Still, the CIA could still track Bourne without Twitter.The London Waterloo scenes are impressively shot, and I wondered how it was done. You can read about it in The Independent article "Paul Greengrass admits tricking commuters during Bourne Ultimatum filming". During the filming I saw some bystanders pointing to Bourne. It's Matt Damon!!!Also impressive were the scenes in New York City. THe Big Apple comes alive with Jason Bourne. One poignant scene was where Julia Stiles' Nicky Parsons has a hairdo while on the run, that painfully reminds Bourne of his murdered German girlfriend (Franka Potente), who appears in a flashback in this movie.Who would have thought that Bourne would return a decade later in Jason Bourne?

The Bourne Identity (2002) was a great introduction to the series. Then came The Bourne Supremacy (2004), and it wasn't as good as the first one, not unusual for a sequel. Then came The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) as part of a trilogy. Due to my let down from the sequel, I really expected this third installment to be even worse. Well, I was very wrong. So wrong in fact, that this one was the best of them all! It was refreshing to see some back-story details that complimented the first two films. This one was perfect, and a perfect 10/10 from me!

My true ratings for the first three original Bourne movies. Identity: 1,000 out of 10. Supremacy: 1,000 out of 10. Ultimatum: 1,000 out of 10. Watch this movie, watch The Bourne Identity, and watch The Bourne Supremacy. Appreciate and love them...and if you don't...well then I don't know what to say to you.

Jason Bourne doesn't deceive. Here he comes once again for the third time, trying to survive as he's still chased by his ex-employers.This third installment is as good as the two first movies. Jason Bourne is a magnet and watching him tormenting the CIA and exact his revenge for the life he lost is still exciting and masterfully shot.Matt Damon is once again amazing as Jason Bourne, this CIA assassin who wants to start over. It's no longer a quest for his past. It's about redemption for all the crimes he committed for the CIA and put down the monster by revealing its dark secrets. Which makes him the biggest threat to the CIA who is more than willing to end it definitely.So here we go again following Jason throughout the world from Moscow to New York while stopping at Paris, Amsterdam and Tanger, taking down the assassins sent after him and his allies to his final destination where everything began for him.The rest of the cast is as great as Matt Damon especially David Strathairn who plays the main villain in the movie. He's so cold blooded and despicable he's giving me chills at each of his scenes. So does Albert Finney who plays Dr Hirsch, the one who conditioned Bourne and turned him into a cold blooded killer. Those two are great additions to the cast alongside Julia Stiles and Joan Allen.Please give us more!
