I would have happily done without some of the action, in exchange for more plot and character development. Actually, I could have done with less action, just to have Matt Damon come off more as a person, rather than some indestructible superman. Damon only does about 5 minutes of actual acting in this movie, and spends the rest of the movie either running around, or beating people up. I am also not a big fan of the jiggerly hand-hold camera technique, which are now so popular in action movies, and which this movie does to an extreme. Also, I am getting tired of the whole Jason Bourne character and concept. It was raw and fresh it the first movie, but has grown kind of stale. It might help if Matt Damon was better in the role. And he 's capable enough in it. I can't say he's bad in it. But I also can't say he's ever been exceptional in it. I can't say the role fits him like a glove, like you could say about Sean Connery/James Bond, Johnny Depp/Captain Jack Sparrow, Harrison Ford/ Indiana Jones, Mel Gibson/Marty Riggs, Bruce Willis/the die hard movies. If Matt Damon were replaced for Bourne Identity 4, I don't know that anyone would be that bothered, except for big Matt Damon fans. Still, if all it takes to entertain you are action movies stuffed with plenty of action, and which are not mind numbingly dumb, this should keep you entertained.… Expand

The shaking camera bit was taken to a ludicrous extreme. When half the audience either raves or complains about the camera work, you know the director has screwed up--interesting camera technique is not why we go to see films! A little bit of shaking in the fast-paced scenes could have accomplished the desired effect, but no, the director has to smash us over the head with it. He seems amateurish, as if he discovered a new trick and really had to go overboard with it, forgetting the basics of good filmmaking and storytelling in the process. Maybe the success of his earlier films has gone to his head?… Expand

I think that with the shaky camera it works and doesn't work, depending on when it's used. In fight and action scenes it's great, but during normal conversations between characters it becomes cumbersome. Those who thought they shaky camera worked are correct, but so are those who say it didn't. It doesn't need to be in every scene. Identity didn't use it and it was a great movie. What ticked me off was when I'd have the back of some character's head covering 90 % of the screen and all I see is gray or black (if someone can give me a reason that this "technique" was absolutely necessary I'd be happy to listen). -The story was thinner this time (a lot thinner) and it was more action-oriented, which is great for most action movies with stupid plots, but with the Bourne series we expect a solid, intriguing story. -I really wanted to love it as much as the first two movies but was a bit disappointed. The ending was great (linking it back to the first movie with Bourne in the water and his rebirth, etc). But really, the only thing this movie was about was Bourne getting the last of his memory back and finding out what Blackbriar or whatever its called was. That's all he's after in this movie, but one plot element can't sustain a two-hour plus movie. -The action and chase scenes were good (nothing as spectacular as Identity's) and it's always nice to see Bourne outsmarting the entire US intelligence agencies (seriously, I'm not being sarcastic: it's not very believable and a bit cliche, but it's still fun to watch). -I wanted to really like the movie, but had to grudgingly admit it didn't live up to my high expectations.… Expand

I believe that if the interface of a medium is too tiresome to work with, then it doesn't matter how good everything else is. In this case the picture is the interface to the viewer because it communicates information. Village Voice I believe that if the interface of a medium is too tiresome to work with, then it doesn't matter how good everything else is. In this case the picture is the interface to the viewer because it communicates information. Village Voice says Ultimatum is some of the most accomplished filmmaking being done. I don't think so. The way Ultimatum was filmed makes my eyes so tired from having to follow the camera: the blurriness, the shakiness, the cropping, the - it just never stops moving. Not even in the quite scenes between Bourne and that blonde chick did the camera ever stop moving. To quote an unregistered user's post in another site, "The director must have glued a video camera to an attention deficits monkey and gave him the control to the focus and the zoom while it was on acid." To me, the film is broken. I don't care what the story is since it takes too much effort to follow it. Effort in this case being my eyes, which feel like their being gouged out halfway through the movie. On top of that. The film doesn't do anything amazing other than the one fight scene with the black guy. Ultimatum is the crummy finish to the first part of the story, Supremacy, which I saw hours before I seeing Ultimatum. Both follow a similar formula and both are anti-climactic. Ultimatum also disappoints because it focuses less on Bourne and more on the investigators saying one-liners that we've all heard before: Give me this camera angle, give that camera angle, etc... Ultimatum is ultimately ruined... even if the story was any good, watching it is much too painful. I could've walked out half-way in and not cared what happened to Bourne, but relief that I didn't have to sit through the rest.… Expand

Yes, I enjoy Jason Bourne, and maybe this film would be more effective on TV - but it was a very trying experience at the movies. Do the stars of this picture look so bad that we should not be able to focus on them? I left the movie having a better idea of what the characters Landy and Daniels looked like than Bourne or the Stiles character. Hopefully this style of camera-work it will be out of style soon.

The Bourne-in-NY portion of the film wasn't as well done as the preceding portion...the element of realism that makes Bourne such a compelling hero was done away with completely with some of the stuff he was walking away from during the NY act (car falling backwards off a roof; the chase-ending car accident; the 10-story leap into the river). Also, was it just me or did the car chase end in exactly the same way as it did in "Supremacy", with one car t-boning the other into a concrete divider? The bike escpae in Tangier was much stronger. [***SPOILER***] Finally, I just felt that Pam Landy's actions in handling the Blackbriar report seemed out of character...I could have seen if she had gone somewhere else within the government (like Jack Ryan did at the end of Clear and Present Danger) to bring down the program, but proclaiming that "this is not what I signed up for" and going to the press seemed ridiculous. A couple of other things that cost this movie some points: 1) note that in the end of "Supremacy", when it shifts to NY, it's clearly not winter as was depicted during the NY portion of "Ultimatum"...some continuity would have been nice; 2) Bourne being chased on rooftops in Tangier by local police...where have we seen that before? Oh yeah...in The Living Daylights, a 007 film. As well done as that act was, it lacked some originality. Overall, very good espionage film, but could have been great if the NY act had been better.… Expand

The action/suspense is very satisfying though the dialogue isn't the best (but it's spar, so it doesn't distract too much). The hand-held camera works well for most of what it's used for though I did get too jarred in the final car scene where he keeps the camera at the level of the headlights. I had to avert my eyes---which, honestly, almost never happens--maybe the Blair Witch project was the last time I had to look away from too much camera shaking/movement. I loved the end and was very glad it didn't feel dragged out or too long---at 2 hours, it's still tightly paced/edited--which also describes Damon's performance. As cinematic as these stories/films are--Damon is absolutely credible--he's what you think of in terms of special ops agents--something very sparse and efficient about him. This is definitely a must see in the theater and probably worth owning on DVD as it's just a great/entertaining film to watch (repeatedly).… Expand

The earlier movie is a 70s tour de force about the tin man, the lion, the scarecrow and Dorothy all rolled into one disoriented, reluctant killer, and Redford's quest reflects four times the character depth because of it. as a total package I would give Condor the edge, but then again I don't expect a less thoughtful movie to reveal the workings of the wizard--perhaps that is a thrill for a previous or a future decade, and for their more thoughtful audiences.… Expand

The Bourne Ultimatum is the best movie out this year. It is a spectacular, heart-pounding journey that shows you don't need to rack up the death toll to deliver a terrific action movie. This proves that, and proves it well. Matt Damon The Bourne Ultimatum is the best movie out this year. It is a spectacular, heart-pounding journey that shows you don't need to rack up the death toll to deliver a terrific action movie. This proves that, and proves it well. Matt Damon is back as Jason Bourne, the man who can't remember what he is. But this time around, he is starting to remember, and flashes are coming back to him. His goal in the movie is very simple: go back to the beginning. And this is just what he does as he makes his way to New York, where the CIA Deputy Director Noah Vosen is determined to take him down and take him out (played by the talented David Strathairn). Along with Mr. Vosen, is the returning Pamela Landy (Joan Allen), who doesn't believe in Noah's own plans, and, almost like Bourne, wants to get to the bottom of the entire case herself. There are some terrific action scenes in this film. The scene in the terminal with the British writer is very suspenseful, keeping you on edge as Bourne weaves he and his partner in and out and around security. There is a fight in an apartment that is reminiscent of the one in the house in "Bourne Supremacy," but this one is two times better and five times as brutal. The plot doesn't have as many twists and turns as the previous two in the trilogy, but this one grabs your attention and throttles you through a fast-paced, adrenaline-stimulated 2 hours. The music is one other thing to note, as it does a great job of keeping you awake, and note that the end credits song is good enough to worth staying around for (sung by Moby). It is hard to find action movies this smart, and yet this entertaining at the same time. The Bourne Ultimatum is first-class, as quite possibly one of the best trilogies ever comes to a close.… Expand

What a waste of potentially intelligent and interesting plot material. Critics were obviously impressed by all the shaky handheld camera work, the grainy desaturated cinematography and the half-second cuts. For me, these elements just served to cover up the thin plot. And the nonstop running just bored me ( as opposed to the running in The Fugitive, a far better film). If this is as good as an action thriller gets, then maybe it's time we stopped dumming ourselves down and began demanding intelligent plots with deep characerisations even in our action films instead of letting action thrillers become nothing more than a theme park ride.… Expand

Easily the best action film of the year, if not the decade. Matt Damon managed to create a realistic, well-rounded character, which is pretty hard to do when you have very little dialogue with which to do so.

Poor choice by the director...to use that method throughout the whole film.

Even though I came away from this film unsatisfied...I decided that I would be way less motion sick if I read the book...although I sometimes find myself waving the pages back and forth and shaking my head side to side...just for effect of course...HOWEVER did you know that the book and the film have absolutely no relevence. The title is the same but believe me (even though I'm only on chapter 7) the book is terrific. It deals with Bourne who is leading a normal life with a family etc...until he finds himself being hunted down by his nemisis CARLOS THE JACKAL. This story, like others about Bourne have nothing to do with the films but Ludlum is a great writer...I was disappointed that it has nothing to do with the movie because I like to compare stories told through both mediums...but as I get deeper into the novel it helps me forget that dizzy night I wasted $12.… Expand

The problem is that it's a message written and produced by people who are on the fringes of paranoia. People still looking for the shooter on the grassy knoll and the real story behind Area 51.

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
