The Bourne Ultimatium

Bourne UltimatiumOne more film. I still had more vouchers. Also this is one of the few things I actually specifically asked for for Christmas – and didn’t get. Anyway, believe it or not I hadn’t seen this until just now. When me and my dad went to the cinema back in August, the showing was sold out… so we went home, and I never got round to seeing it. Sad times.

But I have seen it now, and it was pretty good, a worthy finale to the trilogy. The question has been asked who would win in a fight between Jason Bourne and Jack Bauer (notice, both JBs), and I am torn, clearly Kiether Sutherland could take Matt Damon, but Bourne is seriously hard, Bauer wouldn’t last long.

Anyway, I liked the film, the scenes in London were particularly good, can’t go wrong taking out a Guardian reporter! The best bit is the very end… now I quite like Julia Stiles (Nicky Parsons), she’s easy on at least one of the senses, but for the whole Trilogy she never smiles once – except at the very end, it’s beautiful! Nothing special, or particularly surprising or unique, but it’s just so much better than James Bond (another JB) or your average action film, although to be fair Daniel Craig will give it a good go.

    Amusing – I just watched this for the first time last night. I’m not trying to be you, Hugh, honest. I’d have to agree with your assessment, though I hadn’t noticed leaving the smile to the end. My friends think there might be a fourth though. Interesting end anyway.

    Haha, when you start blogging again, then you will be me.
    Would be cool if there was a fourth, dunno where it would really go though, cause he’s not really Jason Bourne anymore, he’s David Webb.

    Although there may be two more, Wikipedia says some guy wrote two new books, The Bourne Legacy and The Bourne Betrayal. I suppose if I were a purist I wouldn’t watch these, not being the proper Robert Ludlum novels, but I’m not and sounds like they’ll make good films.

Got something to say? Go for it!
