http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/06/The-Bourne-Ultimatum--Bourne-to-ROCK.aspx I&rsquo;ve been a huge fan of the Bourne Identity and Bourne Supremacy films. So when I went into The Bourne Ultimatum with high expectations. I was not disappointed, and you won&rsquo;t be either.&nbsp; This film just plain rocks! The fact that they films have been so consistently great can be attributed to Director Paul Greengrass. Greengrass took the reigns from Bourne Identity from Doug Liman, who is still onboard as an executive producer, with &ldquo;Supremacy&rdquo; keeping the tone of kinetec, in-you-face action that is surprisingly low tech and much more sastifying than the big CGI based set pieces that have taken over, and ruined, most action films of late. With Ultimatum, Greengrass improves on this style injecting the story with a robust jolt of adrenalin that make the two-hour film fly by leaving you wanting more. The story revolves around Bourne (Matt Damon) seeking the final piece in the puzzle of his identity. He&rsquo;s gotten his vengance in &ldquo;Supremacy&rdquo;, and now he&rsquo;s out to regain his memory and discover the who, how and why he was turned into a killing machine, and what was the life he left behind. He&rsquo;s on the hunt, in B-movie terms &ldquo;This time it&rsquo;s personal&rdquo; comes to mind. The CIA&rsquo;s extra-legal assassination team of baddies track him through the exquisite locations of from Moscow to Turin, Paris, London, Madrid and Tangier, Morocco before landing him back on the home turf of New York. The use of locations in the Bourne movies are always a treat. They frame the story with a cold-war type &ldquo;spyworld&rdquo; feel and are perfect platforms in which to frame the frenetic action sequences. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/06/The-Bourne-Ultimatum--Bourne-to-ROCK.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/06/The-Bourne-Ultimatum--Bourne-to-ROCK.aspx#1117 awesome! im so glad this movie is getting solid reviews. truth be told, i really didnt like the Bourne Identity ( the first one). i dont know why , but i just thought it was not good. but i really liked the 2nd one and im very excited for this 3rd one. Some critics are saying that Bourne is the James Bond of our time. I definitly think there will be a 4th and 5th movie itn this series ( even though matt damon has openly said there were not going to be others).

I can not see having it in your collection. chuckie57 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/06/The-Bourne-Ultimatum--Bourne-to-ROCK.aspx#1126 Tue, 07 Aug 2007 07:41:27 GMT http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/06/The-Bourne-Ultimatum--Bourne-to-ROCK.aspx#1129 My first suggestion is: Sit a few rows back from where you usually sit, and for goodness sake, DO NOT sit in the front row! :-) The books were mundane compared to the movies. Ultimatum was almost like the crescendo of the three. For such a simple story line ("Agent Amnesia" uses his instincts to survive and uncover his personal truths), the movie certainly dressed it well and accessorized it with thrill. Well done, Paul Greengrass. Well done.
