Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
peterwilliams810 Ignore all the negative criticism , ' The Bourne Legacy ' is as good if not better than the Matt Damon variety - the opening scenes are magnificent and the story is intriguing - the action never lets up , taking time to introduce the characters nicely . Renner and Weizz combine very well as the agent and scientist trying to get to the bottom of why everyone is trying to kill them exploring some great locations along the way .The Bourne Legacy gets a maximum score from me .
iganboas I felt the need to defend this movie, as it is not at all a bad film; au contraire, it's a very good one, and I personally find it to be better than its two immediate predecessors.From a storytelling point of view, I find that Supremacy and Ultimatum, while both are very good movies, follow the same standard formula first established in 2002 by Identity, and therefore, they lack the originality factor (yes, I know they're based on the Robert Ludlum novels, but I've never read any of them, so my critique stands), whereas I feel Legacy tells an original story in the already established world that feels fresh and plausible: it tells the story of a black ops agent from another project similar to Treadstone called Operation Outcome, and how the events of the first three films affect him and everyone else involved in Outcome.The action is filmed just as badly as in Supremacy and Ultimatum, where the quick cuts, the shakiness and the weird camera angles make it very hard for you to understand what's going on. The locations on this movie, however, might be the most spectacular yet in the first 4 Bourne films, in particular the Alaskan wilderness.The characters in this film are great and relatable, and the performances, specially from Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz, are amazing. The chemistry between the two was spot on.Edward Norton serves the part as the evil government guy in the computer room chasing our hero that we've come to expect from the Bourne films already. The film is tense and intriguing and keeps you invested in the story. You genuinely care about our two leads and their outcome (no pun intended).In conclusion, this film is a welcome entry in the series, and brings in a much needed breath of fresh air to the saga. Really hope to see Aaron Cross coming back and teaming up with Jason Bourne at some point in the future. Definitely go see this one, guys.
Art Vandelay I haven't watched more than 5 minutes total of the three previous Bourne movies so I couldn't care less whether this one does or doesn't star Matt Damon or whether it continues the story properly. So no biases. I just watched this movie. I see ''Improved'' ''humans'' who have outlived their usefulness/become a menace. Different people are called in to shut them/the program down. Violent interactions result in many dead. There's even a brief bit about 2/3 of the way through where Ed Norton's character is watching tape of Renner's character being asked a series of questions. ''Is this a test?'' Renner's character asks. Renner is essential a Nexus-6 replicant. Ed Norton is a blade runner. Everything else is window dressing. I give it a 5 b/c it's a half-decent adrenaline rush, but 15 minutes after it's over you won't remember a thing. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
Tord S Eriksson Unlike some, I do really enjoyed this Renner/Bourne flic!There are few flaws in this movie, and on the whole it is a delightful romp!Rachel Weisz as the heroine, Jeremy Renner as Aaron Cross, the main character, and Edward Norton as the opposition, is a powerful mix.Really nice movie for us who love action movies. Enjoyed every minute of it, from the very first scene, to the last!Amazing action by Rachel, and as good by Jeremy, and the wolves are not bad either!A fresh approach to action movies, drastically different from the previous Bourne flics, but they are too favourites of mine!
