A wonderful, taught thriller that really ties all three movies together nicely and avoids most cliches of the genre. I left the theatre satisfied. The ending was a little rushed, but that's about it. @ Pedro G. - I'm sorry, but A wonderful, taught thriller that really ties all three movies together nicely and avoids most cliches of the genre. I left the theatre satisfied. The ending was a little rushed, but that's about it. @ Pedro G. - I'm sorry, but your comments are ridiculous. All the movie was doing was asking how far a government should be willing to go in order to protect itself before it's morally unsound. Maybe you didn't catch it because you seem to be someone who sees the world in black and white shades and assumes everyone else does. Calling the director of this film as a Hollywood propagandist is laughable, especially considering he was accused of being a mindless Bush supporter last year when he directed "United 93".… Expand

I was gripping my seat during some of these action scenes, which is a good thing. Awesome follow-up to the other 2 Bourne movies. I agree with another reviewer about how nicely the ending ties back to the beginning.

Third Bourne movie delivers a knock out blow. Fast, griping and taunt thriller/action film gives the audience possibly the best ride of the summer.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Matt Damon's stoic third turn as Jason Bourne but the filmThird Bourne movie delivers a knock out blow. Fast, griping and taunt thriller/action film gives the audience possibly the best ride of the summer.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Matt Damon's stoic third turn as Jason Bourne but the film series is starting to slip into Jason Bourne becoming the American version of James Bond with political correctness thrown in. Realism has been the part that has distinguished the Bourne series from the James Bond films and every other action film. But with each movie Jason Bourne becomes more of a machine and less a human being. He's basically becoming James Bond or Jason Vorhees, an indestructible force. The Bourne Ultimatum moves quickly and grips the viewer into the story but slowly devolves as it continues. Bourne 3 is directly in line with Bourne 2 and partially Bourne 1 stories. Fanboys of the original two films can see how previous scenes from the first 2 films are revisited in this film. Which was incredibly cool. Great twist on the ending of Bourne 2 or seperate scene with the same knowledge of that scene but super cool either way. I have to rewatch it to be certain of which way it went.
Julia Stiles is great in this film as is Damon and Joan Allen and the head CIA honcho. As the filme is enhanced from the knowledge of the viewer of the previous 2 films it is also what the heck that wasn't hinted at in the previous 2 films dumb downed by screenplay. The not so subtle hint that Julia Stiles had a previous relationship with Bourne before got amnesia is not any where hinted at in the first 2 movies. She is actually prone killing him in 2 and in the subway tunnel scene when Bourne has a gun to her head would have probably mentioned it to save her life in 2. But still a great scene with her coloring her hair.
In my not expert opinion Paul Greengrass gets way to much credit for directing Bourne 2 and 3. Yes, he did a good job with 2 and 3 and Yes, i thought United 93 was the best picture of 2006. But Doug Liman was the creator of the this film version. In Bourne Identity he started the taunt exciting pacing and realistic action but still made Bourne human. Greengrass has turned Bourne into only a human weapon, a machine. Bourne Identity is still by far the best film in the series.
Two this series is starting to get very political. Bourne books are not political at all, actually treadstone is not an evil organization nor is the CIA. In Bourne ID, Jason Bourne is trying to find out who he is. Not Political. But by Bourne 3, Jason Bourne is not so subtly a political metaphor by a foreign director who thinks he understands America. Bourne symbolizes american power, a weapon that can be used to kill. The CIA bosses are the power brokers who decide who die. The sooldier, Bourne, doesn't even know why he was ordered to kill. Bourne is America waking up from his slumber(American public and soldiers) and saying he doesn't want to kill any more. It's not the soldiers who are evil but the men behind the scenes making the decision that American don't even know about that our evil. America needs to wake up to what it is doing. Cooper, Strahan and Cox all american Cia bosses are the villians in the series. It's the cia's fault and american politics who are causing the problems in the world. Nothing about the people who trying to kill americans. I was waiting for someone to hint that the cia was behind 911. Personally i think the cia should be trying to take out people who are trying to kill americans before they try again. I hope we have jason bourne working for the cia.
The Bourne Ultimatum plays into the Americans guilt with interfering into foreing affairs of other countries and Greengrass' fears of the power of American military weapons and their potential use. James Bond and the english who colonized half the world have no guilt about their foreign affairs so James Bond kills without conscious knowing he's doing his countries work. Jason Bourne lost his mind killing fo rhis country and regrets everything he's done symbolizing americans guilt over interfering in Iraq and rest of the world. It's anti-american values to interferr in foreign countries. And Greengrass' plays into that along with his personal fear of American power.

Back to the movie, if the whole movie is supposed to be the final chapter in a triology of who Bourne is why do we get so little incite into who his character was before ....all we get is a weak, unsatisfying conclusion. I hope we haven't seen the last of Jason Bounre and i hope the real Jason Bourne are still on the CIA and America's side.… Expand

I personally like the cinematography; it fits the film. Matt Damon is once again amazing in his role, as well as the rest of the returning cast from the first two and the new characters.

While the shaky cam can certainly be a bit too much at times, the film is just so well done otherwise that it is impossible to ignore. Matt Damon turns in a traditionally top-notch performance in his famed role as CIA assassin Jason Bourne. However, the direction from Paul Greengrass is what takes centerstage. Well paced, thrilling, and well told the film is never hard to follow, which is impressive. For many action spy films, the number of moving parts can become truly overwhelming. Under Greengrass' assured direction, however, this is never a problem. Instead, the story is coherent and truly entertaining. As with the other Bourne films, the action is stylish and well choreographed and firmly establishes Mr. Bourne as a man you do not want to encounter. Overall, The Bourne Ultimatum is a thrilling and brilliantly executed film that improves upon its predecessors in the Bourne trilogy.… Expand

The film stars Matt Damon and starts up where the previous film ("The Bourne Supremacy") left off. To start off, "Ultimatum" had big shoes to fill - "Identity" set the proverbial bar for the franchise and "Supremacy" raised this bar. Does "Ultimatum" live up to the expectations that it was assigned? In short. . .yeah. . .yeah it does. "Ultimatum" is an expertly crafted film that takes every facet of the first two films and elevates them to an exponential degree. I honestly did not believe the claim that these movies got better with each installment. But, hey, seeing is believing I guess. Just when I thought that Matt Damon's portrayal of Bourne was multifaceted enough, he adds more complicated and compelling layers to this character in "Ultimatum" - I mean, layers upon layers of Bourne are presented throughout this film. If you thought that you had gained a strong emotional attachment to Bourne via the first two movies, well see the third because Damon just blasts expectations with this performance. This performance and the overall film as a whole, is built up by the brilliantly written screenplay by Tony Gilroy. This script is the fulcrum of the film. It's brisk dialogue and precious I-Can't-Believe-That-Just-Happened moments make the film that much more amusing as a whole. One of my favorite aspects of the entire Bourne franchise is the score. Whether it's John Powell's fast-paced music or Moby's stylish trademark song "Extreme Ways", the recurring musical elements really help to embed the film into the audience's head. Paul Greengrass' impressive direction is once again a masterstroke aspect of this film's massive appeal. I would say that, in the end, "The Bourne Ultimatum" surpassed my expectations and lifted the franchise to unfathomable heights.… Expand

This 3rd instalment is more OTT than the other 2, but it is done in a manner that is engrossing. Great fight scenes, quick action (especially in the first part of this film) and good acting means that this film never gets boring. I do have to agree with some who want Oliver Wood shot (cinematography indeed choppy) and the direction could have been better (showing parts of a characters face from the back of an others head does not make things more realistic especially when it's done over and over again). The ending didn't reveal much but who cares? and, of course, it is left open for a possible 4th part.
PS. Love the product placements...ie Motorola phones (space age technology..that is why they are the preferred choice of CIA assassins!!!) Opel cars (need to get away by running your car off the roof??) and Ford cars (great grip and handling...used by the NYPD)...hehehe....… Expand

Paul Greengrass remains firmly in the director's chair, continuing his work, begun in the previous film. Another name that remains is Tony Gilroy, who remains responsible for the script and ensures the logical coherence of the film and its relationship with its direct predecessors.

The script begins with a journalist's attempts to denounce Operation Blackbriar, a remake of the fearsome Treadstone. Jason Bourne is contacted and, realizing that that journalist was being followed by CIA operatives and is in danger of his life, decides to help him escape, without success. From here, we have Bourne again in a race to escape the US agents as they attempt to kill him, convinced he is a threat to his agency's activities.

I really liked the movie, but I confess, I felt some difficulty in adhering to the story. The beginning is somewhat far-fetched, it sounds forced and, in many ways, far-fetched, as if the film needed some pretext for Jason Bourne to be hunted again by secret agents. However, from the moment this is achieved, the film develops very well and the story gets better and more immersive. The action and chase scenes are really intense. Greengrass has his own style of directing and will make the best of it, highlighting the film's most frantic and intense moments.

The cast is, again, headed by Matt Damon, who remains impeccable in the role of Bourne, a character who earned him a deserved acclaim. It is worth seeing this film to appreciate the talent with which the actor, who is far from being one of my favorites, extricates himself from the challenges that lie ahead. Julia Styles is another actress that the film takes advantage of its predecessors, and who knows in this film an increased protagonism and relevance, by virtue of the way the script uses her character. Albert Finney and Joan Allen developed as the script took advantage of their characters. In fact, one of the flaws of this film is the way it wastes the talent of the supporting actors, never giving any real material and screen time to any of them.

Technically, it's an entirely action-oriented film: cinematography tries to use the usual quick editing tricks to make action scenes even more intense, and handheld camera shooting, with its shaky frames, makes motion even more noticeable. And sometimes tiring and irritating. The careful choice of the locations where the filming took place proved to be a happy investment, knowing how to make the best of a series of magnificent places where the story unfolds. The soundtrack is also very good, but nothing particularly new.… Expand

Small moments like Bourne repeating The Professor's line at the end and the implication that he and Nicky may have been in a relationship before Treadstone give this movie and its predecessors a lot more weight and emotion on rewatches.

I haven't seen Legacy and it's been forever since I've seen Jason Bourne (though I don't remember liking it that much), so I might watch them too, but honestly, as a trilogy, this is one of the best.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a pretty fast action and suspenseful thriller movie. It, of course, follows a similar pattern to the previous two Bourne movies, with the focues being on both Jason Bourne and his mission to find out where everything started and who he is and the CIA team, desperately using all available means to track him down.

While I wasn't so keen on the previous movie, The Bourne Supremacy, I felt that this one was better. There is more action and it felt more suspenseful. There's lots of edgy, shaky camerawork, to add to the 'on edge' atmosphere of the movie.

The story itself is, as ever, fairly complex, so you'll beed to concentrate quite well to fully follow it and I wouldn't recommend that you watch this if you have no knowledge of the books and haven't seen the previous movies, it probably wouldn't make much sense, so thats worth bearing in mind too.

The movie itself isn't just set in Russia and England, its also set in other countries, including Morocco and the US. There are some nice landscape shots and plenty to see during the chase scenes, including a pretty cool chase scene where Jason is on a motorbike, trying to chase somebody through the narrow streets. There's also a chase scene over the roofs of many houses in Morocco and a pretty exciting car chase scene (which is more like a destruction derby!) in New York too.

While there are new characters present in this movie, there are also some familiar faces that return, including Nicky Parsons (played by Julia Stiles). One of the new characters is Pamela Landy (played by Joan Allen), who works with the CIA and I thought that its interesting the different approach that she had to the mission, wanting to bring him back in alive, rather than to 'eliminate him' like her colleagues wanted (of course this would have nothing to do with the fact that Matt Damon can be pleasing to the female eye, im sure! lol).

This is another decent Bourne movie, which is very fast paced and features multiple settings and chase scenes. The story, while somewhat complicated and you do really need to have seen the other movies to make any proper sense of it, is, as a continued story, alright, its the action that kept me watching though, the story did feel slightly confused in between it all.

Overall, its a good suspenseful thriller, with some interesting characters, a good dose of action and some very good chase scenes in some interesting settings. This feels like quite a high quality movie and so it is well worth a watch.… Expand
