You just lost a longtime fan, Mr. Bourne
Matt Damon ought to be embarrassed he put this one out, man...
This installment of the Bourne movies HAD to have been made strictly for the profit it would make from riding the coat-tails of the OTHER Bourne movies. I'd be shocked if there were a total of 10 pages of dialogue in the script for this movie. From the very beginning of the show, some conversation "bait" would be thrown out to us--like we were about to get answers to questions from previous installments. But the conversation was always cut short and/or someone died before we could learn ANYthing. Seriously. I cannot think of one piece of information we were given in this movie that cleared up questions from previous installments.
Here's a quick rundown of the show I just watched:
Conversation bait.
Bourne runs
People die.
Things go boom
More running
Conversation bait,
Get on a plane
Conversation bait
fight scene
More people die JUST as they were about to give us answers
Get on another plane
Conversation bait
Gi-MONGOUS action scene
Everyone who could have answered questions for us dies (well, except Bourne, of course)
Bourne is told to "come in, we can start over"
Annnnddd.........CUT!
And here I am staring at the credits all, "I don't even know what just happened here?!"
This installment clearly shows there will be another installment coming. Sadly, I will not be watching it.
