"..Jason Bourne could kill James Bond using nothing but a tea towel and a phone book. He would use the vodka from Bond's martini to sterilize his wounds, and limp away, there being no sexy woman in a Ferrari to pick him up".


LOL....Yes!!!

LOL--but Batman could dispatch them both before breakfast!

I don't think so, Batman...like Bond is a gadget freak!

Bourne EATS both of them!

Bourne would flip Batman's cowl over his head and suffocate him.

ahhh-- but you're forgetting Batman's emergency backup. At night, the Dark Knight wins hands down.

Yea...Robin Hood to the rescue.

On a serious note, I loved this movie, and now as a complete trilogy, one of the strongest as being successful.

Tense, taut, gripping, riveting, the Bourne series has been an enjoyable ride.

Actually--I was talking about thousands of bats. Robin never counted.

And also, seriously--I haven't seen this one, but I loved the first 2 Bourne films. Looking forward to seeing this one, too.And I hope that let it go gracefully. Generally speaking, if you can make a trilogy work, leave it alone.

BTw, Katie-- enjoyable review. (Where are my manners?) You piqued my interest even more than it was piqued before. In fact, any more piquing, and I'll be bruised for weeks.

Good Review...Even Better Movie!

F*ck Batman... Spawn would kill all three and he's even more of a mess mentally. LOL!! Honestly,in reality, I think Bourne would clobber most people because he knows that MMA type sh!t and he uses his surroundings like a goddamn pro!

This movie proves my point that you can make killer sequels. It may take a bit more work and this movie may have its down falls but The Bourne movies were fantastic even if they started out as a remake.

Though I did have a name for a review if this movie sucked... Boring Old Tomato
(Yes, that joke was bad...).

Ray,

Check this review out... and tell me if this doesn't excite you. I saw the movie on opening night and read this review a week after.

David Webb or Jason Bourne, whatever name he calls himself, is a dick. He wasn't brainwashed. And at the end of it, the sap didn't really remember anything. Some hero, the murdering prick.

Wow, RAF, did (the imaginary) Jason Bourne kill your (imaginary) dog? You seem a bit upset there.

I'm not sure how you can argue that he wasn't brainwashed while simultaneously arguing that he didn't get his memory back, the lack of memory being a primary symptom of being brainwashed.

But, clearly, you didn't like the film and that is a-ok, it being a free country and all. You'll excuse the rest of us for enjoying ourselves.

This quote may illustrate the point...

"...A Jason Bourne who just buys whatever he is told is no use. A Jason Bourne with no moral compunction is a liability. You need moral certainty. You find a true believer, and break him down into trusting you. He then acts with all of the conviction and dedication of a man of service, but none of the questioning attitude..."

Jason Bourne volunteering for the program is a moral act. Bourne shooting the man without any of his questions answered (which he did after two plus days of being awake [and torture]) is not...but he still did it. He committed. That was the decision point, and he made it...."

I don't believe I made the argument that Bourne was somehow a hapless victim, certainly I didn't intend to. As I said, he clearly chose to sign on the dotted line. My argument is that the people who created him did not live up to their end of the bargain. Instead of using him (and other agents like him) to keep the world safe from evil doers, they use them to kill inconvenient people before they become public relations problems.

Bourne is clearly morally culpable for the acts he committed. That's why the scene in Russia with the daughter of the couple he killed was so powerful. He apologized, but what did it accomplish? Is he going to wander the world apologizing to everyone ever affected by one of his acts? Would it be remotely useful if he did?

Bourne is a troubled mess, as I say, but he's an entertaining troubled mess. It doesn't mean I'd raise my kids to emulate him.

its a film god freaks
